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

You, of course, have proof of this - Morrissey doesn't count.

:(

I see Banana Mili as such a colossal numpt that I thought Corden was posting with some rare good sarcasm there

pretty sure DMil extended the notion of "the liberal idea" there into standard centrist technocrat fantasyland and rmfe at any politician in 2019 doing the "power corrupts" bit

looking forward to the government creating Oftruth, the regulatory body for facts

Richard Madeley asked Corbyn how it would work having a chancellor who wants the downfall of capitalism in Downing St.

Just grand, Richard, lad, just grand.

pretty sure there's been loads of them already

I was trying to make a slightly different point from the one I ended up making. I definitely don't want to let people off the hook for their own racism. I guess what I meant was surprise at the schism in individuals that mean they can be both very comfortable in multicultural communities (beyond 'having friends who are x,' I was trying to describe a much more enmeshed cultural milieu that stretches to certain cultural norms) and still maintain this distinct 'preserving England' intolerance without any seeming sense of dissonance between the two.

Stafford Cripps, for sure.

when they sent him over to the Soviet Union it was thought they'd prefer to deal with a card carrying commie/lefty diplomat, but according to Maisky they hated dealing with lefty brits and would have preferred they sent a Tory.

it's perfectly possible to be pro immigration while also being anti fom from 27 other predominantly white countries.
xp

xxp
I think by the time Cripps was in office during reconstruction he'd fallen out with communism.

He'd fallen out with Soviet communism. Though, of course, he was a religious nut, which didn't sit too well wiht being a Marxist.

I would definite say he was much more of a Marxist than John McDonnell, nonetheless!

he was definitely an oddball, he believed in the absolute vitality of eating raw, uncooked vegetables

he was kicked out of Labour in the 30's for his devout Communism, so he's got McD licked there!

Cripps for sure but also part of my point was that there've been all kinds of right wing Chancellors who have wittingly or unwittingly contributed to policies likely to undermine (free market) capitalism in various ways

but obv the media rarely get the vapours over that shit

I suspected that's what you meant.

are Gideon and goth-disco Phil in that category?

Hammond seems too managerial and Gideon's austerity strengthened the system in the short term at least imo, Lamont might be a better recent example but it's a more complex argument than I could make right now, was more exercised by the simple stupidity of Madeley's question

Simple stupidity is what Richard Madeley does.

i know it's been said a million times before but he really is the real-life alan partridge

feels like he's been there forever ffs

his eldritch powers of mediocrity allow him to exist outside our perception of spacetime iirc

otm. xxp remember him coming to the show dressed as ali g?

i didn’t until you reminded me and now i’m reliving the horror all over again

https://youtu.be/03SiNNYJu3g Ali G too relevant these days

I can remember thinking actual murderous thoughts when just about every youngish person I worked with were doing hilarious Borat voices at work, and this period seemed to go on forever as well.

i feel u, i've often said the same thing to MYYYY WIIIIIIIIIFE

not sure whoever drew that has ever seen the Addams Family

Does Thing correspond to baggymp?

given that the addams family are indisputably the good guys and normal ones in their show, i expect they probably haven't xp

at least they've captured Starmer's hair quite well

looks more like mitt romney tbh

I feel like Gideon didn’t get the Addams family.

Message to Sajid Javid: Stop playing games putting our economy at risk. If you won’t bring a budget forward, move over and I will. Your irresponsible party political messing around will cost people their jobs. Grow up.

lmao RIP shippers

This is great listening, some highlights:-

- Peter Oborne calling out Tim Shipman as "not just the sewer but the sewage"
- "Most of the political lobby allow themselves to be gamed... don't interrogate, question, just pass it on... they help the government set its own agenda" https://t.co/DqcvPpm8qp

I see bestpic.png has done a racism too

fs oborne tearing strips off of bobby pesto and kuennsberg and then fully lays into rajan

yikes

amazing radio

just writing a love letter to Oborne

The saga continues:

“That guy needs to apologise. He wants to seem like the people’s man, mixing with people from diverse backgrounds, but he’s chasing clout and now he’s trying to chat shit about us. I’m not letting this guy tarnish our name, especially given the positive message we try to push in our music.

“I’m not a gangster, I’m not pretending to be and I’m not going to let some corny, goofy-looking man say I am. We’re all about peace and love, and he calls us gangsters. It was definitely racist.”

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/25/irish-musicians-hare-squead-anger-minor-gangsters-rory-stewart

another weirdo white man

pretty harsh to call him this without acknowledging his fluency in Dari

Lol shippers is a total cunt, he’s been properly seen off there (even if Oborne is also a cunt himself).

The bestpic article, omg, loving this promo

Hare Squead have almost 1 million listeners a month on Spotify. They have been signed to a major label and toured with Nas, Joey Bada$$ and Dua Lipa. They play infectiously catchy, feel-good soulful music which fuses rap, pop, R&B, electronics and trap, and have a new single, Meeting with Myself, out on 5 November, which is about being self-aware and staying focused.

i lolled at the promo-speak but then i guess there's a sly little dig at bestpic in there

Some corny looking opportunistic goof called me, Tony and Sev gangsters

Omg they’re on channel 4 news?!

I remember Oborne doing a Channel 4 programme on *Cameron where he tore him to shreds, he is quite good at that sort of thing.

(*also a major hate figure of P. Hitchens')
