brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

@andrew_lilico
It's probably an honest mistake, easily done. I RTed something from someone dodgy once, then un-RTed it quickly (to some well-earned derision) & apologised. Surely Trump can be man enough to do the same?

@DPJHodges
Are you being serious.

Trump needs to man up and be more like andrew lolico

or dan hodges

of all the possible hot takes, he found the worst. He smashed it.

would add to that O'Brien tweet: The glacially slow business of negotiating an inferior arrangement to a backdrop of severe economic contraction #usethefull280

One lesson of Trump tweet = careful what you like & share on social media. You may be giving racists & extremists the publicity they crave 1/2

How naive/apologist. And the first reply is a photo of Nick posing with Fransen.

we've all shared fascist propaganda by accident every now and again

Although of course every time any of us mention the orange twat we're also giving a racist and extremist the publicity he craves... anyway back to Lucinda Williams, Aldi Baileys and GT Sport, let other people worry about the world.

I have some trouble splitting hairs between the far right groups from the margins and the ones in government tbh.

One does the shooting, one loads the gun iirc.

and some of them cheerlead for the BBC

aside from the most obviously disturbing effect of this on vulnerable groups (for whom tories care nothing about) can't they see the obvious implications for policing? a home environment for immigrants is a safer environment for organised crime.

As long as organised crime is home-grown:

Huge change. To the extent Brexit was an anti-immigration vote it’s already worked https://t.co/giR5AALhn0

why would any rational person choose to emigrate to the uk now tbf

My cousin did just post-Brexit. He got a job after a couple of months then found himself a British girlfriend and is now engaged and getting married to her next year.

god help him tbh

haha I know.

they'll be stopping people from leaving in 10 years, not stopping them coming in.

In her keynote address on Thursday, the former disability minister will announce the UK’s first global disability summit, to be held in 2018. The summit aims to bring together global leaders and technology companies to tackle the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fulfilling their potential

“In many parts of the world, people with disabilities simply don’t count,” Mordaunt will say. “They are neglected and isolated. They are attacked and abused. They are invisible”..

the fucking state of this, I presume BMJ representatives or any of the disabled people still actually alive in the UK won't be invited to give their vital input.

yeah and I'm interested they avoided using "disabled people" which is preferred in the UK cos it highlights the social model

the absolute boy in the (M&S) suit

I think GQ would have styled him in a more expensive suit.

He looks great.

who’s on the second cover, I ask with some trepidation

Oh it is an m&s suit. Apologies xyz

would have been a bit of a pr disaster to have him draped in prada right enough

The airbrushing is unfortunate

it’s given him a bit of a michel roux jr vibe

Yeah, fuck GQ forever though

i’ve long advocated for dylan jones to be among the first against the wall when the revolution comes

Dylan Jones has either been locked in the samples cabinet since last summer, or that’s how long it’s taken for Harley Street doctors to extract his tongue from David Cameron’s arse.

"He mentioned Scope, and a series of films it produced in 2015 to mark the 20th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), which failed to point out that, in its earlier incarnation as The Spastics Society, it had been “bitterly opposed to anti-discrimination legislation in the 1980s and only reluctantly came on board when it became obvious that such legislation was inevitable”.

He also referred to former Tory leader William Hague, who told the BBC that he regarded the DDA as one of his finest achievements, when in reality he had “turned the legislation into a pale shadow of what it should have been”.

Oliver was heavily critical of “the big disability charities”, which he said had “proved predictably useless at defending the living standards and lifestyles of disabled people” from the government’s “vicious attacks, while continuing to do very well for themselves”.

Oliver also spoke in his speech of how the Paralympics and the Invictus Games, the sports event for disabled veterans created by Prince Harry, are used by the government as political cover.

He pointed out that “not all injured ex-service men and women can or want to compete in elite sport and many who don’t live lives of deprivation, poverty and misery”, while the government is able to continue sending young people to “often illegal wars to get blown apart for their country”."

Professor Mike Oliver telling it like it really is, another one the BBC and Penny Mordant won't want to talk to.

Always felt the Paralympics coverage proved that the disabled are only worth bothering about to the media and society in general when they can be marketed as 'superheroes'.

it really is vile, it makes me want to vomit (all over Prince Harry).

Like that BBC programme, Saints and Sinners, that tacitly implied that the only people deserving of receiving benefits where those with heart-rending sob stories to tell.

Saints no less!

Similar to the successfully sold narrative that the most vulnerable of the disabled people are being given the help they need. It is just the malingerers and piss-takers who are ending up homeless or dead in the PIP era.

i wish i could remember exactly what my raf-officer brother-in-law once said to me about how close to entirely able-bodied some invictus games participants he knows are but regardless i suspect the media might be sitting on some pretty damning material about the organisation out of respect / lickspittery to the royals

Only the real cream of the crop for this royal showboat, those that have been completely broken by military service can live on the streets because they aren't true WARRIORS!

Top story on the Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/dec/01/damian-green-thousands-of-pornographic-images-on-computer-says-detective

There is a lot invested in the detective being right. Green could clear up in any number of libel actions if the press can’t substantiate anything.

some hatchet job interview by GQ editor dylan jones on the today show just there. saying corbyn 'didn't seem in control' of his own mind and that he was 'grandpa-like', with a 'poor handle on the details' and 'cultural hinterland'.

dylan jones co-wrote a book w/david cameron

doesn't understand the cultural hinterland = no idea who Wolf Alice are

flow is weak

has never bought 50 frozen Indian snacks from Iceland

no strong opinion on who should win Get Me Out of Here

Dylan Jones got a gong from David Cameron and is probably THE WORST. He wasn’t present at the interview and it’s poor form to comment, anyway, not that it matters. I feel sorry for his deputy/ME, who used to play with Felt and is actually good at his job because he’s not running around going LOOK AT ME the whole time.

aw yeaaaaah:

Very interesting piece about Trump, Britain First & the response from Brendan O'Neil.https://t.co/RjvTs5Q0ww
