You leave the London Irish diaspora alone lol. Anyway, put him in charge of the country tbh, "I'm not a Marxist, I'm settling an industrial dispute" quote of the year


You’d better not be slurring your better half as diaspora, she is an emigrant!

anyone who (-survives-) does an electrical apprenticeship learns early the easiest way to be ostracised in CI is to look out for yourself. Like I got mocked as The Asbestos Kid because I had a very rational fear of working in the vicinity of any!


omg

the calzbestos kid

lol, but you would amazed at how blase some people are about what is an absolutely deadly mineral. Ask Malcolm MacLaren. And then there was that 28 yr old woman from Oldham who became the youngest person to die of mesothelioma, and this was all down to a short cut she used to take to school that crossed the site of an old asbestos factory.

“I had my first speech outside Number 10 as prime minister all planned out,” Jeremy Corbyn tells me. “I was going to announce homelessness in Britain ends now, next week no-one will be sleeping rough.”

Unsure whether the interviewer knows who Connolly is. She works on a political programme for heaven's sake. But maybe she's just playing dumb to get ML to talk.

Funny how Connolly sounds "controversial" in London yet half the rail in Ireland goes through a large station named after him.

We don't know who she is about to suggest at the end of the clip. "What about...what about..." *Blobby crashes through wall*

speaking of corbyn, one shudders to think of the tory hacks currently beachcombing mick lynch's social media history for this and that

well they already found out he's the baddie from Thunderbirds

The Connolly interviewer is Anushka Asthana iirc? Previously political editor at the Guardian, where working knowledge of political history evidently not obligatory

Can't remember the last time I looked forward to Question Time. It does feel like Lynch is a big target now. Knives being sharpened.

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 23 June 2022 11:50 (one year ago) link

it seems some of the one-issue multi-flag FPBEs are being critical of him because RMT adopted a Leave position during the ref and he maintains a pro-brexit position. lol even celeb wets like Hugh Laurie have nothing but uncritical praise for him, but these tedious fucks are still crying about 2016!

there has always been a pro-trade unionist element to her politics (apart when she's on television and is loudly denouncing them as bothersome idiots)

shellacking for the government so far on QT. 6-nil so far at least

QT reminding me how thick this country can be

I am watching QT for the first time in years and am being reminded every ten seconds why I swore never to watch it again.

I tuned in at the same time, never wanted to give someone a slap so much. Mum lives in Stratford so hey maybe I'll have a chance one day.

"look what happened to happened to the dinosaurs"

yes they were destroyed by a non-negotiable rock that was the size of Manhattan hitting the earth at a speed of 30km per second. But at least Mick made the point they were here for a long time tbf!

calzino, Thursday, 23 June 2022 22:36 (one year ago) link

Mick was great but I had to stop watching as well. Something horrific about it.

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 23 June 2022 23:03 (one year ago) link

bless you all for thinking there was some slim chance that QT mightn't be absolute evil rhino shit

Harry Styles and fashion (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 23 June 2022 23:16 (one year ago) link

that is a good way of putting it

before anyone turns up to post 'thank you for not mentioning the by-elections' i am going to mention the by-elections [/vmic]

Oliver Dowden resigns as Conservative party chair in wake of byelection losses https://t.co/J8pIBWaW4I

gyac, Friday, 24 June 2022 06:55 (one year ago) link

Question is whether Dowden is resigning as a scapegoat or whether he is just going to be the first one of many today, former seems more likely but you never know with this shower.

Labour lost their deposit in Tiverton. If this is supposed to be a tactical agreement with the yellow tories then why even run a candidate?

calzino, Friday, 24 June 2022 07:18 (one year ago) link

I was never going to watch QT but this was just one interruption that was put away with min effort.

why on earth is fiona bruce interrupting with arguments she expects the tory panelist to be making, to cover for them not managing to? what a thoroughly embarrassing charade this whole format is, easily the most malignant show on television https://t.co/t79O6ClsNZ

good morning

nashwan, Friday, 24 June 2022 07:59 (one year ago) link

Good morning. The Lib Dems and most of Labour are also anti-union so it doesn't matter who is in Government.

Also if Boris survives this he would win the next election. So join a union and grind the fuckers down #classWar

xyzzzz__, Friday, 24 June 2022 08:24 (one year ago) link

He wouldn't win a majority. Probably. But the sooner he goes the more likely he comes back a few years later is still my weird belief.
