Why should they have to be? They mistake their good luck for good judgement.

it's like how every rich person is self-made

Why is the struggle of the US left one that these UK comedians can support, when they couldn’t support that of the UK left? Is it just because they don’t pay tax in the US? pic.twitter.com/hskOYkoSl0

Didn’t Frankie Boyle support Corbyn though? Bernie is to the right of JC in a lot of ways. Better comparison is how they treat AOC with almost any female politician here. Esp when they’re left wing and young.

gyac otm on all counts

I think Boyle hates Corbyn. Although I haven't watched his show since he started using it for regular Corbyn bashing a couple of years back.

Slated Corbyn when exactly? I don't vote Labour because I'm to the left of them on Trident. I support Scottish Independence. I wrote loads of columns supporting Corbyn for leader, and then a big column before the election saying don't vote Tory.

Yeah this is the level of the debate you get from morons here

Boyle's being a bit selective there, but yeah no surprise a Scottish nationalist doesn't like Labour. But he did go for Corbyn on his show even though he seems to have forgotten. Playing that I'm to the left of Labour thing is what the Green Party used to do until the mask slipped.

On his show he even suggested Labour as well as having an antisemite leader were fiscally right wing on benefits. I saw it!

christ that absolutely cursed aoc / jess phillips take, i'd suppressed the memory of it pretty successfully until today :(

She's would have been better than AOC but Labour members couldn't handle the truth!

Can confirm Boyle bashed Corbyn plenty on his show, tho the thrust in the ep I saw at least was "not left enough".

Not sure Bernie's leftier, even taking cultural differences into account.

Far be it from me to defend Frankie Boyle, but he's a comedian he goes for where he'll get laughs. Wonder what Jerry Sadowitz had to say about Corbyn, if anything, the mind boggles!

There are two types of comedians and satirists: ones on twitter and ones not on twitter (the latter are assumed to be the good ones)

I don"t know who is and who isn't tbh.

pvmic

Sure, that wasn't to you just a general comment on the discussion xp

I thought ILX had agreed Twitter is bad now?

(xp) Is Frankie Boyle on Twitter?

The parts where he talked about this where not to get laughs at all, it was basically straight political commentary from a comedian.

He has ideas above his station, that cunt.

guys zarah sultana fucking rules

I'm in a debate about climate justice and I'm sickened to hear a Tory MP blame the lack of family planning "in Africa" for the climate crisis.

The problem isn't people in the Global South having kids.

The problem is disaster capitalism.

"the parts where he talked about this where not to get laughs at all, it was basically straight political commentary from a comedian."

yep it was just straight up stern-faced Corbyn bashing, not comedy material played for laughs, even though the cunt seems to have selective amnesia about it.

I guess when you vote for such a left-wing party leader as Sturgeon you hold other left-wing leaders to much higher standards!

I wouldn't know, I can't watch him, he isn't funny even when he's saying funny things.

He got a sick burn in on JK Rowling once, but he's not very talented nor funny.

I think some of his material is good and funny but he just kills it stone dead by not being a funny person.

Frankie Boyle doesnt live in Scotland or support the SNP

Someone on my twitter said he was an SNP voter.
How much does he pay Miles Jupp to piss his pants laughing at such unfunny shit is another question.

Looking back at the tweet he doesn't name the Scot Nationalist he's on about. I just assumed it was him.

Yeah I mean he does at least part time but like he lives in London for work

The Daily Beast has uploaded those Arron Banks dms. Probably not ok to repost any here, but there’s some very interesting names cosying up to him.

In my despair, I rang the great physicist and meteorologist Piers Corbyn. You know Piers: he is the older brother of Jezza, and he is famous for believing that the world – on the whole – is getting colder, and that the whole global warming theory is unsound, to say the least. Piers thinks that whatever the role of humanity in affecting the temperature of the planet, that role is pitifully trivial next to the Sun, the supercolossal boiling ball of gas about which we revolve and which enables life on Earth.

there was a brief period of my life i seemed to be constantly bumping into piers corbyn. he seems totally normal and good and then

there are bump of climate cranks on youtube with lots of nonsense about "grand solar minimum" blah blah fuck knows. Was speaking to some fule who believes all that shit as well. Idiot brain worms.

bunch!

we might be entering an interglacial cold period i wouldn't dispute the science behind that, only the planet is still burning, so when we come out of it - we might be turning into a slightly cooler Venus by then!

yeah you’d think the whole thing about huge swathes of australia having being on fire for weeks now would fatally undermine that theory but cranks gonna crank i guess

I like Miles Jupp and his "...it'll have to be Pat Mountain" bit on New World Order

hopefully he's not on Twitter

for weeks now

six months now in some parts
