"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

Apart from a few obvious trolls, C&B has never been a right-leaning forum so fuck knows why you'd think otherwise.

I did not expect it to lean right wing but I did expect it to lean melt because, as stated before by calz, that's what 90% of UK comedians are.

The whole Coren son being a massive cunt does hide from his dad being part of this broadsheet vermin class this country was full of before the internet's attempts to kill newspapers.

Here is the wiki entry on his books:

"Coren published about twenty books during his life, many of which were collections of his newspaper columns,[1] such as Golfing for Cats and The Cricklewood Diet.

From 1976 to 1983 he wrote the Arthur series of children's books.[1]

One of his most successful books, The Collected Bulletins of Idi Amin (a collection of his Punch articles about Amin) was rejected for publication in the United States on the grounds of racial sensitivity.[1][5] These Bulletins were later made into a comedy album, The Collected Broadcasts of Idi Amin with the actor John Bird. After the Tanzanian capture of Kampala in 1979 the American journalist Art Barrett discovered a copy of Coren's book on Idi Amin's bedside table.[10]

Coren's other books include The Dog It Was That Died (1965), The Sanity Inspector (1974), All Except The Bastard (1978), The Lady from Stalingrad Mansions (1978), Rhinestone as Big as the Ritz (1979), Tissues for Men (1981), Bumf (1984), Seems Like Old Times: a Year in the Life of Alan Coren (1989), More Like Old Times (1990), A Year in Cricklewood (1991), Toujours Cricklewood? (1993), Alan Coren's Sunday Best (1993), A Bit on the Side (1995), Alan Coren Omnibus (1996), The Cricklewood Dome (1998), The Cricklewood Tapestry (2002) and Waiting for Jeffrey (2002).[1][6][7] Coren's final book, 69 For One, was published late in 2007.[1]"

Only Connect sounds like the type of tv show where it would have to be like the aversion therapy scene in Clockwork Orange for me to watch it!

Remember thumbing thru one of his books in a charity shop once, looked shite & it had a foreword from one or both of the kids explaining that all the racism was fine actually - fuck all of them tbh

I was on Only Connect, as was erstwhile ilxor ailsa iirc. Victoria C was perfectly charming and likeable irl, obv her brother is a cunt and her husband is a different kind of cunt. I'm also on record as finding Alan Coren's punch stuff deeply hilarious when I was about 12, idk I was a strange kid. OC is a good quiz in parts but doesn't do much for me as a TV show nowadays tbh

VCM
> appears on lots of other things like panel shows

and celeb gogglebox if the 30 seconds i saw on friday is to be believed

Celeb Gogglebox had a bunch of culture war cunts last time I saw two minutes of it. All TV panel shows make an excellent argument for the immediate destruction of western culture, obv

Wow, I knew ailsa was on it, her being a massive quizzer and all, but I didn't know NV had been on it, wtf! I would have watched! btw ailsa still shows up on ILX occasionally to join in the lamentations over Celtic.

Yeah I thought she probably still posted a little bit I just lose track.

My OC appearance was a losing one but it was largely a fun day out

The Idi Amin stuff was also performed by beloved satirist John Bird, in a horrible cod African accent I think, so thats him cancelled n all

(1)Labour's leadership, by calling for a measly 2.1% pay rise for nurses, instead of getting behind the Union claims, have not only embarrassed themselves, because the Tories agreed 3%. They have also made it harder for Nurses unions to fight for more - which is worse.

this was so bad it can't be overstated enough what a cunt Starmer is. I hope he ends up in ICU and someone *accidentally* plugs it out to charge up their Wii

Not only the entire media apparatus vomiting supermarket press releases about a 'pingdemic' to try to stop people taking time off work due to Covid exposure, but trade union bosses too. https://t.co/r6iPvtw2CU

Unite are so fucking crap and this is even before that Murdoch approved cunt wins the general secretary election.

Stewart Lee is still good and funny imo, we're all allowed tired and emotional missteps

I expect to be able to hold that opinion in good grace, perhaps a bit of side-eye, no more

who? never even heard of the cunt!

Solomon Hughes also pointing out that Kinnock backed the ambulance drivers strike in '90, yes even that lefty firebrand Neil fucking Kinnock was better than Kieth.

Some of the original ILXors who were at Oxford at the same time as VC have legitimate beef with her - apparently she took over one of the student publications with a wave of Daddy’s Filofax and turfed out anyone lacking her sort of connections (including one or two of the ILXors).

lol and I bet she's conceited + full of shit enough to say she's worked her bloody socks off to get where she is!

completely normal party that offers the only alternative to Toryism

it's nice to see while they are moaning about having to lay off loads of staff because Corbyn broke the party, yet they can still afford to bring back a racist prick. That sends out a clear message of what kind of party they are.

I'd love to have 3000 followers. I'd have to tweet so much more though, not worth it.

Around 10 yes and 25 no for me, pride swells within me as a result

jfc did you really have to remind me of that stupid fucking nonsense?

Oh look at me I've got two former friends who dared to disagree with me about trans stuff, let me extrapolate their tastes, personalities and habits to every other person who dares to disagree with me, she can fuck right off.

Some better news

Breaking, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, has lost the libel case brought by a Syrian teenager over accusations Lennon made against him

— James Doleman (@jamesdoleman) July 22, 2021

Who's gonna pay the 100,000 for him then? I mean, hopefully nobody and he goes to jail, but he has some rich friends.

Well his GB News show starts next week so.

Alright no this has not happened just yet.

he should hold out for some bbc gigs, he can be Melanie Phillips stand-in on Moral Maze when she's unwell!

The text in "the chimamanda essay" aren't from the actual essay, they're from some other unfunny thing that you need to be very online to recognise, my congratulation to CaAL on avoiding that brain cancer.

thanks I still hate it and anything else in this genre of texts

Always have a residual paranoia that I'd be the ottolenghi cookbook guy if I was straight

It does describe almost every straight guy I know in London almost eerily

its only funny when tom d knows what its about

Blame LJ

(xp) amen to that, brother.

"They could make a joke about the Werner Herzog penguin documentary"

^^^

quite a flipp-ant remark imo

Dawn Butler has been booted out of parliament for refusing to take back her reasonable assertion that Boris has repeatedly lied to the country. Respect ..Dawn and fuck 'em all!

love Dawn

Breaking:

Courageous Labour MP @DawnButlerBrent has just been told to leave the Chamber by Deputy Speaker for raising my film which public have sent to 27 MILLION VIEWS in protest at Prime Ministers rampant lying in Parliament & calling PM a lier

Thank you for your courage Dawn pic.twitter.com/9tmEQpOdO3

that deputy speaker is such a ghoul, string the lot of 'em up.

Starmer will be furious... with Dawn Butler.

Cases are down -8k today, be interesting to see if this is a trend going forward?

Dawn is a parliamentary colleague she served briefly with me when I chaired the children schools & families committee she isn’t Dennis Skinner.

— Barry Sheerman MP (@BarrySheerman) July 22, 2021

I'm sure Dawn will be quite relieved to be informed she isn't an 89 year old white man

"Dawn isn't a lefty but she's alright for one of them" don't send post Barry

ha, busted

Dennis Skinner: "a great friend and comrade"

Dawn Butler: "a colleague"

we all know if jess phillips had said this you'd have spaffed yourself into a cloud of bats

— Earth's Hottest Man (@coprespecter420) July 22, 2021

nearly choked on my coffee after seeing this reply to Rentaghoul. It is so blatant the way that black or asian MPs who have the temerity to speak up in Parliament get treated differently to white MPs. If that would have been Babs getting booted yesterday they'd have been encouraging her to mount a leadership challenge.

booming thread here:

The government gave some staff in the NHS a pay rise yesterday, and then said that the cost must come out of existing NHS budgets. It refused a pay rise to the police. It’s as if they’re saying there is a shortage of money. There isn’t. A thread’s needed to explain that…..

— Richard Murphy (@RichardJMurphy) July 23, 2021

if there was a genuine opposition they'd be explaining real grown up economics to the population and have a vision of a country where nurses get paid properly and public services get adequate funding. What we have instead is the situation where a braindead Labour MP can use the May's magic money tree line and this is pretty much the direction the party is going in.

they've reverted back to the 2010 mode of opposition where they are too scared to even challenge that fatuous nonsense that they spent too much and were in some way responsible for a global financial crisis and hence need to prove how *fiscally responsible* they can be.
