PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

actually I'm not sure if it even counts as a podcast

I've listen to a couple of decent Tooze ones in recent times. Some of the lefty ones on twitter I've clicked on before are fucking awful.

used to love Cooke's Letter From America which wasn't a podcast and was probably bad. But liked the ASMR qualities of his voice more than his observations on golf and the oddities of his US fascist friends.

xp yeah there’s no great ones out there, all though I definitely do listen to bits of reel Politik while cleaning or whatever. Trash future is unlistenable, they’re all so smug, ugh.

Under the assumption of no deal I am on the lookout for anything that might give a picture of how chaotic or not it might turn out to be.

I hardly ever listen to podcasts, not a talk radio person anyway.

I've never listened to a podcast on any subject in my life.

mine are all about my book so you should start with them

agreed!

there should be a British version of Trillbilly Workers Party imo

Very interesting to see The Observer backing Corbyn's plan but I really don't see how also publishing this is very helpful. Although I do understand Jeremy's frustration. pic.twitter.com/eQyDCTjwi5

Btw check out this from calz’s favourite MP

Surely this is a matter for the police are they investigating this horrible attack? I’m not your greatest fan but you should not be intimidated in any way!

Bazza only has any empathy for the construction behemoths that have generously lined his pockets for decades. He's a classless, worthless piece of garbage. He's probably been an MP longer than Frank Field and in many ways he's worse than him!

*struggles to believe such a thing*

I'd like to nominate him as a GNU temp leader though, if Ken dies of a heart attack after listening to a Matt Mitchell album Bazza can't be that far off Father of the House status.

him and FF have both stood in the same constituency since '79. He tries to keep a lower profile than Frank cos he loves the grift of being a professional lobbyist.

yeah whatever Jonah, your voting record sucks shit!

She’s Swedish, FFS.

Jesus, you'd need a wheelbarrow if you ordered single fish from that chippie.

Excellent work from ignorant Scandophobe Sheerman

he calls himself a "Social Enterpriser". In plain English he's a bought politician. It used to be called sleaze or cash for questions in the 90's

mmm thinking of that wheelbarrow full of whale blubber is making me hungry!

All the flavour's in the blubber iirc

another classic bit of classic Sheermanning was in response to a local football supporters group campaigning for a dedicated safe-standing zone in the stadium was that if ppl stand up they are more likely to shout racial abuse at players - said the racist.

Love this account and the fact he tagged baggymp

As a guy who's owned and played guitar my entire life (I currently own 7, including a beautiful 12 string), this is abhorrent.

His left hand is grabbing the neck like he's about to strangle it rather than caress.

Sweep picking I'd say

wait, when I played I used to hold the neck like that AFAIK. a bit like (sudden realisation, crosspost with "shockingly old when you learned" thread) I hold a pen too hard and brush my teeth too hard and other things dyspraxic people do, except such words didn't exist when I went to school

maybe that's why I could never play anything more complicated than half-speed Ramones songs

microtonal fingering, you love to see it

yeah toothbrushes don't last long with me either and I often injure my hands in the unlikeliest of situations. But wouldn't take unsolicited advice from nay fucker on how to hold a guitar!

Not sure what that chord is he's playing tbf.

the correct joke is just two posts up tom

I think he's going more for an arpeggiated open string shoegaze kinda sound.

he's playing ligeti:

the cardigans surely

Johnson is Nekrotzar and Corbyn Piet the Pot.

Mayday @jeremycorbyn there’s still time to save the nation if you show statesmanship.Sacrifice short term ambition to be caretaker PM. Let the people genuinely vote you in AFTERWARDS . Meanwhile #hilarybenn #kenclarke #michealhestletine could presided over cross party cabinet.

"Mayday"

Justice for #michealhestletine

what if we made an actual donky the leader of the GNU, people love donkies

As we approach no deal I will enjoy all sorts of random tweets begging Corbyn to step aside.

What I won't enjoy: hunger and death on the streets.

What about this cunt running obvious trolling?

the upcoming general election (& subsequent critical years of british politics) is probably going to be decided by how much effort (and money) regular ppl on the ground put into labour's campaign. a test of whether ppl really give a shit or just want to spectate & kvetch

The clip of guido in the Everybody In The Place documentary was very telling, in that he has been both a cunt and a troll for longer than I realised.

describe it pls!

Jemermy Cromybn,,,,, with your refusal to stand aside in favour of obvious unity choice #michealhestletine, you have made it impossible for me to vote Labour

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2019/aug/19/brexit-latest-news-jeremy-corbyn-speech-labour-could-be-officially-neutral-in-any-second-referendum-campaign-john-mcdonnell-suggests-live-news

Corbyn refuses to rule out Labour officially remaining neutral in any second referendum on Brexit.

I assume you're all on board with this, barring a (((closet Lib Dem))) poster or two?

It doesn't really mean anything (an entire party taking an 'official' position) so sure.

> The clip of guido in the Everybody In The Place documentary

he was a rave party organiser back in the day. the rest you probably know.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000777d/everybody-in-the-place-an-incomplete-history-of-britain-19841992

starts about 27m30s in.

yep, he was a total stain back then as well!

i interviewed him back then, i still have the tape but haven't listened to it since i wrote it up

Er, that's not what that notation means, pom.

And yeah, I'm okay with him refusing to rule out being neutral in the referendum - provided Labour supports remain!

What does it mean then? idgi
