Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

Bad news flagfuckers

So 15,000 nazis came to the UK but only 10,000 Kindertransportees? The state let in more nazis than Jewish children?

Don't forget 1,000 Kindertransportees were interned as enemy aliens and held off the mainland, some as far as Canada and Australia.

It was never about morality. https://t.co/f9bMxjew0C

there was an account in the Nikolaus Wachsmann book on the Nazi camp system that was probably the most typical asylum seeking experience in the 30's of a Jewish man who managed to briefly flee Germany on a fake passport and was promptly deported straight back to Germany and put in "protective custody" in Dachau where he died. When UK Politicians like to demonise illegal immigrants and then wax lyrical about what a welcoming country this has always been out the other side of their mouth. I didn't realise they were talking about Nazis!

That's the problem with this thread, too many people who hate Britain. Meanwhile, this took 47 years to resolve:

they need to lock Ricky back up again for backing Kieth rather RLB!

He should do the decent thing and hand himself in at the nearest constabulary.

You're right - it now seems truly odd that he did that.

obviously melting in ten seconds has the net positive benefit of placing him more in the luvvie acquaintanceship of Eddie Marsan rather than Maxine Peake!

mentally i'm beginning to slot Starmer into the same kind of haplessly evil category as Ted Cruz

Time machine ethical quandary: kill Hitler or kill Kieth, it's a toughie.

"haplessly evil" is spot on really although sometimes I support the conspiracy that he actually knows what he is doing and everything is going to plan.

if you had a time machine would you travel back to the 1930s and call for Hitler to resign?

Labour MPs have just been sent a reminder from the PLP office to "only accept media requests and to use signed-off lines from the Labour Party media team" on the Liverpool announcement...

xp
lol! travel back in time to propose an independent inquiry into Hitler

I hope some of the few principled MP's that are left tell LP media team to go fuck themselves.

Ugh, Jo Coburn on Daily Politics really has it in for Nadia Whittome - she just brought up Nadia not condemning Bristol protestors AGAIN.

Starmer seemingly determined to transform the "he's a plant" line from "wild conspiracy theory only the most delusional crank would entertain" to "Occam's Razor."

this country is NORMAL

The Union Jack flag is to be flown on UK government buildings every day.

In a statement, culture secretary Oliver Dowden said the new guidance will create "a proud reminder of our history and the ties that bind us.”https://t.co/wG6gV5hwNP

Jenrick said the report had identified multiple failures in its regeneration and planning department, including the “awarding of dubious contracts” and a “worrying lack of record keeping” in which some documents were dumped in skips and others created retrospectively.

This really is wild given it has been demonstrated that Jenrick has done these very same things or the equivalent afaik.

gotta wonder if this is to distract from new, possibly illegal, asylum rules announced today?

if it turns out we're living in the departed and keir starmer is matt damon who is mark wahlberg. ian lavery? there's no leonardo di caprio of course

I should try, to see the film to which conrad refers! (If it is a film.)

it's a fairly bad Scorsese era remake of Infernal Affairs, that's a bit of a larf if there nowt else on telly.

Kieth wouldn't be impressed because it depicts a cop that routinely breaks the law and is deeply involved in serious and organised crime.

I meant fairly bad, bad-Scorsese era...

jeremy corbyn is leonardo dicaprio and the british labour party is a criminal enterprise

McD could be the kindly nurturing Martin Sheen character, well if he wasn't a fkin cop!

Sell-by dates ‘far too cautious’, says peer who found 20-year-old biscuit 'perfectly edible'

another from the "normal country" series.

It's a best before date if you don't know the difference between that and a use by date then get the fuck out of the legislature

hey remember those police who had broken bones and a punctured lung yeah we lied about that to set a narrative yeah soz!

It's the thought that counts eh?

the Remainiacs/Orwell book clown is - even by aggro-melt standards - still completely removed from reality .

I’m just waiting for the men who run those podcasts to stop using a known sex pest as a contributor.

its like a the end of The Animals Farm where the farm animals look in at the farmhouse window and inside the dogs are playing poker

I think we can judge the good faith of a comment by how much it elides actual stuff that has happened

These are all excellent responses to an unbelievably bad and mendacious tweet!

the name of his podcast is so perfect. Oh God What Now. politics as an irritating interruption to what would otherwise have been a fine state of affairs.

always really sad when ppl whom I like to hear talk about culture and literature express anything but utter contempt for remainiacs dude :(

lol I'd never heard of the "Oh God What Now" remainiacs sequel, still had to check just to make sure you weren't making it up!

Like with the New European, you've got to admire the acumen of finally starting up a vehicle for pro-remain propaganda some time after the referendum

Makes more sense as a vehicle for pro-Remain grift

edgelording, it's not just a French thing

What a dickhead. I don't know if he's just a very thick racist or if he was high on something, but if you try pulling Islamophobic shit like that in Batley there will be uproar. Not that I'm suggesting it would have been excusable in St Whitenfred's Grammar School in Toryland either.

The whole country is high right now, no need for a drug test.

deranged nationalism doesn't show up in your piss

apparently i would be dangerously threatening free expression if i say i hope they sack him

They better sack the cunt because the school has got a good rep to protect, my younger brother and a niece went there and David Peace is also a notable old Batelian!

oh yeah and also umpteen minor county cricketers, Sir Titus Salt and the keyboardist from maximo park!

David Peace is also a notable old Batelian!

Mohammed. Mohammed. The Prophet Mohammed.
Mohammed.

There is no God but God and Mohammed is his messenger.

A picture.
A picture of Mohammed.

A picture of the Prophet Mohammed.

It's a religion of Peace, after all.
