I give you Pat Mountain, slipping into acknowledging that UKIP is a racist party.

That this cunt will talk like he knows anything on Dec 13th is regrettable but at least we will lol die

got a sudden urge to shave for the first time in a month

that fucking cunt actually gave me a sudden craving for booze, not gonna let him get to me

We might all die lol.. but this fucking idiot seems to think we need to... then will be a political landscape (fertilised by our ashes) ripe for transformative politics... it's always next time with these posturing commentatriat melt twats when Labour have gone too far left for them.

real rush of rage/despair/spite there, kudos John Harris you useless entitled fucking cunt

gonna do some more deep breaths

I keep getting short periods of excitable positivity followed by prolonged bouts of fear and despair. Fucking hate elections these days. So much at stake my guts start churning when I think of 5 more years of these cunts:(

poor john harris, he started out looking like rodney but now he's slowly morphing into uncle albert

xp

yeah i feel you. there's still enough to be tentatively positive i think, but sometimes you remember that the exploiters and their feeble apologists will always be with us, smuggly scumsplaining away, and it's just too much.

If what we are facing is a deepening estrangement between progressive politics and the people and places it once spoke to as a matter of instinct, even more difficult arguments rear their heads. If you see a certain kind of old, white, working-class man and think that progressive politics ought to have nothing to do with him, you should maybe understand that your opinion is an indication of huge political failure.

jfc. Not gonna do a line-by-line riposte here but every syllable of this wrong, 'bizarro world'-style. It's almost an accomplishment to be this wrong.

log the fuck off Hodges, you absolute stain.

saw a good simonk_133 thread earlier on 2017 focus groups which were pushing a similar message to J harris about the labour heartlands that time round

I hate it when shit politicians rep for good music people you like. Alan Johnson talking about John Grant made me throw the radio out the window.

Tom Watson being a fan of John Martyn nearly made me give up hope

xp I don't think I want to find out what Johnson's last.fm alias is

Hans Werner Henze apparently composed a piece for Boris' first wedding

55-64: 79% (+7)

ffs these arseholes are the ones ushering the Tories in.

Generation melt

*waves at the thread from my age group*

dog Latin/LJ complicate this age divide btw

I imagine that as the age-group who are most likely to say they don't gaf about politics and they are all the same etc.. and then vote Conservative like clockwork, even if it is 4 foot snowdrifts and they have severe angina and arthritis.

But yes been lots going on the train today. On my way back an actual young person was talking on the phone about the election before having a go at rugby boys.

Dog Latin and I might be two brackets apart lol (if he's turned 45)

Fiona 'buh-bye' Bruce unable to read out the word 'nationalize' from her autocue without feigning scare quotes of disgust.

Also I've already confirmed myself as a certain Labour voter and enthusiast, give over

Or are you just commuting and looking for a scrap? I do sympathise

I do kind of wonder if DL managed to overcome his issues w/ Cromwell and will vote Labour in the end?

are you two voting labour yet or nah

Hugh immediately regretting his decision to canvass with Chuka

That John Harris column is incoherent. Why would stopping Brexit lose a generation of Labour voters? Because some voted for it in « good faith » ? Are they suddenly going to think that the Tories are « more democratic » while they despise their policies?

Boomers thinking they are finally stepping out and ~choosing a side~ and then picking the dullest, worst, mediocre, meaningless of all voices, is truly something to behold.

that was an xp

John Harris goes out and finds reactionary or cranky people, nods very seriously at their legitimate concerns, and inevitably concludes that Labour should be more racist to appeal to them. To him, the white working class is not capable of any more than rage and intractability. He would look at Corbyn’s line about everyone having a poem or a painting or a story to tell and be completely unable to reconcile it with a single one of his subjects.

John Harris had exactly the same attitude when he took over Select and put Oasis on the cover of every issue

tbf that's true of more or less everyone in the UK media - print and broadcast.

That’s why they all boost and reinforce each other - are they so out of touch, or is it the left that is wrong?

Just watched Sky News' daily "I've always voted Labour but..." report - this time from Stoke, of course. Not sure if the BBC one has gone out yet.

Speaking of reactionaries

Um, what the fuck?

How many people has Ian Austin mailed, in constituencies that aren’t his own, to smear Corbyn and tell them to vote Tory? pic.twitter.com/2KxgqxfgKf

it’s not just harris - it’s most of the WM journos and even some pollsters. this was the thread

Just reading back through some of the Edelman focus groups from 2017. Incredibly perceptive stuff! pic.twitter.com/adBR6rUBsn

Sky anchorman disappointed by politics professor saying he expects the Brexit Party to take more votes from the Tories than Labour and that he expects Labour to hold on to their seats in Stoke.

sky UKIP leader interview looked a doozy

she’s called pat mountain ffs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_mountain

I got one of those Ian Austin letters. The small print at the bottom says it's been sent by the Conservative party; he hasn't paid for them all himself.

He hasn’t paid for them at all.

only posting this for tom. not a parody account
