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

This time it was mainly Nandy who was diverging from the other candidates and it was always too polite for there to be a (lol) honest debate between what Starmer and RLB represent.

That was my point re: MacDonagh, SV. I think you're right about the why, which makes it a witless, destructive thing to do in public. Witless and destructive seems to be all the right of PLP's got.

Sorry I'm sure I spelled her name correctly, think my phone disagreed.

This seems relevant to this thread’s interests

For years now, Popbitch has been Britain's leading authority on which famous people don't wash their hands after using the loo – and never has there been a clearer moment where our expertise is required. So, in order to help stop the spread of coronavirus, these are the celebrities you need to keep an eye on until Covid-19 is contained.

SPOTTED SINK-DODGERS: Madonna, Nick Knowles, Rochelle Humes, Natalie Portman, Frank Skinner, Julian Assange, Tom Watson, Dominic Raab, Sadiq Khan, Christina Aguilera

FASTIDIOUS HAND-WASHERS: Robbie Williams, Sandi Toksvig, Simon Amstell, Al Gore

HIT-AND-MISS: Kay Burley (a little patchy with soap and water apparently, but very consistent with moisturiser)

seriously wouldn't shake hands with clammy piss hands Watson or Khan anyway!

the fucking hatred in those glowering Aryan eyes, glad I voted for Dawn.

who's the dick who was shouting about Johnson's choice of words being "unfortunate" and "robust" but not racist? only saw the clip once

Nick Ferrari, I think?

Yeah it was

what a fucking country

Nick's brain is like a classic Ferrari vehicle with a 70's ford escort 1100 engine, an amazing piece of engineering

Anders Brevik’s favourite Mail columnist was there too

That doesn't exactly narrow the field down tbh.

Sorry for TND

I read reports from China last month of shortages compelling people to make do with bras, grapefruits, giant plastic water bottles on the head and sanitary pads as masks - thankfully with no vulgar flags on them, viruses are attracted to vulgar flags .. fact!

tfw you deport people to their deaths, were held in contempt of parliament without any repercussions, floated the idea of listing all the foreigners hired by British companies, and still have the neeeeeeck to complain about civility.

her daughter with the name of the brand of margarine that.. erm never mind, has been weighing as well. She can fuck off as well.

tory feminism is such a load of shite!

the party that commemorates getting a nazi woman into the house of commons as a victory for feminism

hahahahahaheha fucking hell we live in hell

If you’re trying to silence Amber Rudd you really are being anti-democratic. https://t.co/ZYvGZrSt6q

— Tom Watson (@tom_watson) March 6, 2020

has Rudd even shown any contrition for her role in Hostile Environment? Last time I saw her talking about it, it was in all in terms of what an inconvenience it was on her to be at the centre of a scandal ... bo hoo etc

"some students"
"you're"
"they"

Made a quick visit to see my mother, going to church early in the morning with her where the priest mentioned that immigration rules are tightening for the priesthood too, and given the retirements of the current lot they are looking at the closure of 30-40 parishes in the next few years. He mentioned that he would like to encourage young people to join and I realised he might have been talking about me as I was the youngest person lol.

Thinking all sorts of lol Tories reaping what they sow/olds dialing up their nihilism through increase in loneliness/ property developers probably going to get into the action/what communism couldn't do authoritarian capitalism will, etc.

The importance of Brexit for shaping class realignment can be seen clearly by simply dividing respondents into those who reported voting Leave or Remain in the 2016 EU referendum. Here we see an electorate where being working or middle class is far less important than being Leave or Remain. In 2015, Conservative and Labour votes were roughly evenly balanced among middle class remainers and working class leavers. The Conservatives core vote was amongst middle class remainers, and Labour’s (though not solid even then) was to be found amongst working class remainers. Following the referendum result, and the relatively hardline pro-Brexit of the Conservative government, there was a clear bifurcation: Leavers voted Conservative and Remainers voted Labour. By 2019, the former in particular were remarkably pro-Conservative, with a lead of over 50% in both middle and working classes. Being middle class or working class no longer mattered, while Brexit did.

xp how long did you consider being a priest?

Fr Comrade Xyzzzz__ in Brexitland is like Borges crossed with Graham Greene crossed with ahhhh John Lanchester let's say.

(xp) He's still mulling it over.

Being a priest is surely his ideal job?

lol yeah run Marx reading groups out of the church hall.

I was thinking more that it affords you loads of time to read and argue

at least you could get fred expelled from the choir.

lol

Fulminating against melts from the pulpit.

We need clarification on which denomination as well, I assume Protestant of some stripe since he said church. Can confirm our parish priests visit houses and get free dinners wherever they’re allowed in.

the more i think about it the more this seems like a good idea. i think you should get back to him xyzzzz.

Czech poets in your chasuble. Gramsci in your surplice.

Smartphone in hand making use of the ample free time afforded him by priesthood to troll ilx relentlessly

Agnes Varda showings on a Tuesday. Twitter catechisms on a Thursday evening.

Guiding your bougie flock to the gulags.

if we can confirm that john tilbury will be at the organ then I promise I'll attend

Guilting the shire Tories out of their bare-rubbed coins and using the proceeds to fashion a guillotine in the chancel.

scootering down the nave on a tumbril.

Sharpening the guilltotine blade on the font.

Always need more time for that, true.

an earlier example of barely coherent Nandyism which has a spin on the polite discourse thing that suggests minorities deserve to become victims for not being polite enough to Tory arseholes.

The finest minds...

We strongly disapprove of the decision by the UNWomen Oxford UK Society to disinvite Amber Rudd after she had been asked to speak.

Oxford is committed to freedom of speech & opposes no-platforming. We will be taking steps to ensure that this situation doesn't happen in future.
