bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

Amazing how every single fascist who applies gets selected for a question, isn’t it?

i recall recently when a non-fascist audience member was accused of being a Labour activist plant he revelled he told the bbc producers/vetting ppl that he was a tory voter!

You'd think there be a little more concern that the BBC is actively platforming fascists but hey

My considered opinion on the Democratic candidates is they all look shit.

big dunty not a Bernie bro nor even a Warren bro shocker!

You'd think he'd be a Bloomberg bro tho, maybe he's just disappointed Mike's made a balls of his campaign

On another note I really can't be reading the opinions of melts any more

i don't really have a hold on dunty ideologically other than being a shit remainiac pos

work is quiet and i have access to the online library of the university i work at, time for a deep dunty dive

article about sex workers' rights were he does a "both sides want to censor each other, that's bad", quotes julie bindel, and doesn't come down on either side.

as yerman said in response

This is absolute bullshit. The DRM field consists of:

1) the only viable left candidate of the last fifty years (Sanders)
2) the most qualified anti-finance populist of the last fifty years (Warren)
3) even Buttegieg is pretty good by the standards of mainstream Dems https://t.co/ZunM1ATLYq

then you've got Biden and the billionaire spoiler. This is an *extremely strong* field, which Bloomberg is attempting to wreck. O'Brien and Dunt are just doing their usual performative "can I shock you? I don't like politics. despite what I said then" act.

you may not agree with all of them, but it's a diverse field with plenty of options.

“James Bond,” argued Ian Dunt (2012), “is a relic of a previous age: misogynistic, imperialistic, and unfeeling. For some reason, he still works”

already depressed and sorry for the spam

feeling down in the dunts

wait dunty doesn't like bond

Oh and don't even @ me with this shit. Bond is dull as fuck. Only Casino Royale any good.

also read a piece by him dispelling the "migrants move to uk for benefits" trope.

my pal dunty

"even Buttegieg is pretty good by the standards of mainstream Dems"

feel like Dan Davies is very otm and like him, but this one sounds like Holborn and St Pancras dinner party talk!

mind you the mainstream Dems probably do suck much more than the Labour Right by some metrics, but I'd just say they all suck!

thank's for not mentioning Blair's penis though jim!

Can’t think what the anti-Corbyn side of the Labour Party did to lose so much of the traditional labour vote... https://t.co/H6ojIYshWk

yes we khan!

last month he was attacking the tories from a position that was in theory fiscally to the right of them. it might have just been posturing bullshit that there was talk of taxing US tech giants properly, but he was in in there much faster than he stans for social housing.

I agree with Dunty on Bond but only if he means the David Niven one.

Very good:

Touring bands to UK must now Apply for a visa £244 for each member. Provide proof, 90 days before applying, that they have £1,000 in savings unless they are 'A-rated'. Provide a certificate of sponsorship from an event organiser. Cutting the legs off our industry #Brexit disaster

I bet there are plenty of musicians that live in their overdrafts just like many workers do and don't have a grand in savings.

sorry mr Reinhardt if you don't have a g in the bank you aren't an a-rated entertainer.

That's what it's like trying to play in the US, so expect a lot of musos coming over on holiday visas and borrowing gear because it's cheaper that way.

It's all good, it's just going to create more gigs for hardworking British oh god no

lol imagine reaching 100% musical self-sufficiency with the help of economically inactive britpop wasters!

The climate is tailor made for Morrissey's return to cultural relevance on this septic isle. If he doesn't take advantage he's stupider than I give him credit for

if there is an adjective for musicians that sends a greater shiver down my spine than "hard-working" I haven't heard it yet.

I bet there are plenty of musicians that live in their overdrafts just like many workers do and don't have a grand in savings.

Get away.

Fuck playing in the UK anyway, accommodation and travel are hellishly expensive and musicians are treated like the shit on someone's shoes.

xp
so that's why they call it free-jazz!

This assumes that he has any musical appeal for ppl in the UK outside of the Guardian reader demographic. Not too sure about that.

a lot of the orchestras my wife plays with are gonna be fucked by this

her dad, a 50-year orchestral music veteran, voted for brexit :(

Yet another step closer to Children of Men, I guess.

This assumes that he has any musical appeal for ppl in the UK outside of the Guardian reader demographic. Not too sure about that.

But he can now fully tap into the Mail and Sun markets. Racist, jingoist lyrical sentiment with 1950s style backing. I think they can fully adapt to that

a lot of the orchestras my wife plays with are gonna be fucked by this

I suspect there will already be blog pieces out there on the likely effects of this on classical music, the proms etc. I need to read something

And very sorry for your missus :/

sooner or later I'll read about some non-UK musician I like who is too skint to play here and they haven't managed to train Rick Witter as a suitable replacement yet. I think this new visa thing will suck more and more shit as time goes on.

don't worry nobody will be able to afford gig tickets anyway

well that will be no change for me, but it will still piss me off!

The effect on the Proms is one of the things that might create the pressure to change this self-evidently stupid rule.

I suspect there are a lot of African groups who rely on international touring for whom the UK just became a prohibitively expensive place to play as well.

hasn't that been the case for a while?

Yes, all this does is extend it to EU performers aiui.

recent evidence from NKVD dossier has emerged revealing early class enemy tendencies in comrade RLB!

Paywalled but the Sunday Times has claimed that MI5 is withholding intelligence from Priti Patel as they don’t trust her. May be true, might be an attempt to further the narrative of the establishment undermining the government.

When does Boris get impeached?

It's highly believable for all sorts of reasons so if it is a confected story it's a very good one.

https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/mi5-reducing-amount-of-intelligence-they-pass-to-priti-patel-because-they-dont-trust-her/

Patel seems deranged at times, her "economically inactive" quip the other day coupled with the attempts to normalise Eugenics were giving me nightmares this week. I think if she was given a free hand she would literally have disabled people banged up in Soviet era style "psychiatric hospitals" until some final solution can be found. Although some of that is already going on in the NHS.

She's reestablishing the death penalty through other, more devious means.
