Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

This isn’t going anywhere good:

EXCL: Attempts by far-left activists to “hijack” movements including Black Lives Matter & Extinction Rebellion are being investigated in a review ordered by Govt

Lord Walney is leading the new probe on violence & disruption on the hard left and far righthttps://t.co/CqBwiksGEc

"Lord Walney" how convenient that a confirmed sex pest is referred to by his title rather than the name he was known for as a Labour MP.

why would the left bother hijacking an apolitical movement like ER?

I'm going advance socialism standing on top of a fucking train dressed like Swampy!

God forbid that BLM be taken over by Leftists

I'm going to change my name to Lord Dowdy - I'm now a completely new person with a clean slate!

Woodcock was nominated for a life peerage in the 2019 Dissolution Honours, along with four other former Labour MPs who had backed Johnson's Brexit deal or endorsed the Conservatives in the election. He was created Baron Walney, of the Isle of Walney in the County of Cumbria and will sit as a non-affiliated life peer.[36]

The dissolute honours for Brexiter sex pests, kicked upstairs as reward for successful political infiltration.

Tbf this makes him the ideal candidate to investigate creeping (and) radicalisation

even the CuKs wouldn't touch Woodcock with a bargepole and iirc at the time he was making noises like he wanted to join them.

How much CuK would a Woodcock CuK if a Woodcock could Cuk wood

far right thrown in that tweet as an afterthought when there were hours of footage of fascists standing around statues and attacking the police.

Heavy breathing?

yes some heavy breathing and then doing the traditional sacred Nando's dance of the melt tribe.

A GLASGOW man has been charged with allegedly sending an offensive tweet after Captain Sir Tom Moore's death.

The man, 35, was arrested by cops in connection with the vile slur against the war hero on social media.

good thing there are no cops itt keeping an eye out for any offensive content

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "On Friday, 5 February, 2021, we received a report of an offensive tweet about Sir Captain Tom Moore who died on Tuesday, 2 February.

"A 35-year-old man has subsequently been arrested and charged in connection with communication offences and is due to appear at Lanark Sheriff Court on Wednesday, 17 February."

"Charged in connection with communication offences".. How is this real?

Are we sure this guy's from Glasgow, that's very tame and inoffensive.

I've seen a lot more stronger material than that from another Scottish poster on twitter, jesus this guy practically took a shit in his coffin and he never got arrested

Deleted all my Captain Tom tweets but maintain that he is a [redacted] who [redacted] [redacted]s to [redacted] his [redacted] at [redacted] during [redacted] https://t.co/z6C8jVbPRM

Ibterested to see how this works legally given that he's a REDACTED corpse

"good thing there are no cops itt keeping an eye out for any offensive content"

erm.. yes phew. oh hang on, brb it sounds like my front door is getting smashed in with a battering ram!

someone is suggesting he was probably reported locally by some radge orange bastard rather than the gestapo sweeping twitter for disrespectful tweet for the dead [redacted] [redacted] nonce!

Sectarian vibe of the tweet might be more of an issue than the Cap'n Tom Tom Club subject matter

someone is suggesting he was probably reported locally by some radge orange bastard rather than the gestapo sweeping twitter for disrespectful tweet for the dead (redacted)(redacted)nonce!

well that's the green light for my series of finely etched lithographs portraying the bad captain on his journey to hell!

Diane Abbott otm about how Hostile Environment has played a big role in eroding trust in the government and helped to foster vaccine skepticism in BAME/immigrant communities.

Di più direi; ma ’l venire e ’l sermone
più lungo esser non può, però ch’i’ veggio
là surger nuovo fummo del sabbione.

Gente vien con la quale esser non deggio.
Sieti raccomandato il mio Tesoro
nel qual io vivo ancora, e più non cheggio».

Poi si rivolse, e parve di coloro
che corrono a Verona il drappo verde
per la campagna; e parve di costoro

quelli che perde, non colui che vince.

Learned yesterday that a friend who works in finance has to go into the office every day because the finance sector officially counts as essential workers.

Looking forward to the clap for hedge funds initiative.

I don't think there's much doubt an Orange bastard will be behind it.

The guy's actually from Lanarkshire, so I'd guess someone in Larkhall or Airdrie has learned how to use twitter.

Meanwhile, the madness continues:

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/mysterious-roadside-tribute-to-captain-tom-242125/

MidKent College lecturer Paul Nickells, who spotted the new artwork at the roundabout near Wainscott on Thursday says it was a "magnificent" tribute.

"I thought it was so realistic because you could notice it was him straight away," he said.

The thing's like 3 foot tall, you stupid cunt.

thank u banky

just what we need, another fascist cult symbol. because flags and poppies and churchill aren’t enough

MidKent College sounds like it's a top notch establishment

Looks like he's riding a lawnmower tbh

btw the tweet upthread is not the one he was arrested for, the real one was along the lines of, "the only good British soldier is a dead one, burn in hell" or something - not really up to calz's standards.

i was very much hoping that wasn't the actual Tweet otherwise things might be looking a bit bleak for posters on this thread

Like this fellow, alongside your offensive post on Captain Tom, you'd have had to post a photo of yourself in a Celtic top for the (Scottish) rozzers to come calling.

phew at least I'll be able to watch Cool Hand Luke without getting panic attacks now!

nothing going the way of celtic fans this season

also it's a fucking disgrace that he's reported as "a glasgow man" but obviously lives in lanarkshire, potentially not all that near to glasgow.

nothing going the way of celtic fans this season

being locked down unable to go to games has been a blessing

If you're going to arrest someone wearing a Celtic top at least make sure it's one of the players.

clap for hedge funds initiative.

Feel like there could be a swelling of support for this.

Blimey

Up to 10 YEARS IN PRISON for residents returning from Red List countries who lie on their passenger locator forms - Hancock

— Carl Dinnen (@carldinnen) February 9, 2021

Blimey, indeed.

a year of almost zero border measures followed by the threat of a decade in prison sounds about exactly what comes next

I imagine this is pure PR and actual proceedings will carry on as usual. They might arrest a poor bastard or two to pretend they're serious, mind.

possibly pure PP
