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

as I say, it's a terrible field

have they really adopted a legit concerns approach? they could not be more unimaginatively twitter left imo. which is good i suppose but fuck video news anyway, also imo.

Dylan Jones is a prominent supporter of the London Garden Bridge Project

proven history of backing winners

xp

thinking about a lot of the channel's documentaries, in-depth coverage of dolies and disableds and islams with sensationalist titles, lots of "how entrepreneurs can white knight marginal communities" shit

a lot of their documentaries are horribly skewed, i mean they've been commissioning programmes by this twat for years:

i assume that the news division is fairly well firewalled from the documentaries department but who knows these days

*fires up very-online weird-left twitter, whomst is the last finest news-source*

I’m about to go have a coffee in the tiny café the C4 news team (editor on down) all visit before their morning meeting, will eavesdrop a bit.

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.

Great guitarist that Maurice Deebank.

Hold up hold up now we're onto the really important stuff - Suzy are you saying B1ll Pr1nce played in Felt? Loft / Wishing Stones obv but I had never heard he had a spell with Felt also.

I think he did play with them on a tour or two; I first met him doing shifts on the NME subs desk (and if I go to London Collections: MEN, he’s fun to sit beside).

This changes EVERYTHING.

LOOOOOOOOL

y'all really need to stop hating everything. take it from a hater.

I'm full of love for things worth loving.

tbf in real life it's not like I hate watch or hate read any of this cobblers, but I see a lot of trailers.

I can draw perhaps an unhealthy level of succour from hatred at times, but I don't harm anybody with my imaginary gulag lists.

Davis threatening to quit if Green is removed as deputy PM? I mean I can understand him no longer wanting to chair Brexit discussions he seems wholly unsuited and unqualified to helm, but.

I don't harm anybody with my imaginary gulag lists.

was gonna say, I'm not playing when we do that

David Davis has fairly strong principles around privacy, if nothing else, and I wouldn’t put it past him to die on that hill.

Given what is going on wrt Brexit impact assessments he is probably looking to die at the nearest hill.

re: Dylan Jones -- his politics and centrist dad-isms aside -- isn't it just weird to trash the cover of your own magazine like this?

RIP it's sad he was a choad

xp not if you were trying to stitch Corbyn up in the first place - which I’m guessing hasn’t happened on the page.

in minor but signally unstartling news the eat-the-book guy invoked in the OP was boasting this morning abt how validated he feels in re the last five years in politics

I thinking getting Eat The Book into the urban dictionary is his crowning achievement, he shouldn't be so modest about that.

re: Dylan Jones -- his politics and centrist dad-isms aside

This is the point where 'centrist dad' officially tipped over into over-use. He's a straight up Tory.

indeed, let’s save centrist dad for those more deserving milquetoasts, dylan jones would happily see all of us packed off to the soylent green plants

his wikipedia entry is slender and incomplete -- tho it does mention the 2008 column in the mail where he declared his support for the tories, as well as this fine sentence (which I refuse to believe he didn't write himself): "Jones has penned multiple books"

Penning is hard on the fingers

i too have penned multiple books*


*by drawing dicks in the margins

I'd imagine the children's books that Joe Orton drew dicks on would be more essential than any of Goodwin's oeuvre.

This is the point where 'centrist dad' officially tipped over into over-use. He's a straight up Tory.

I am sure you probably believed that terms was over-used before I did anything with it.

Cameron and Jones are straight-up Tory. However Cameron came across (not to you or me) as something less than that. Enough for the Lib Dems to form a coalition government and for much of the Labour right to wish he was their leader.

Its a mess I don't make the rules.

Was gonna say, Dylan Jones is the WORST kind of Tory (and I was in the offices of Edgy Style Mag/Website today looking at archives for A Thing, and he was once its music editor and showed no signs of a desire to be power-adjacent) in that he went to St Martin’s on a full grant and is thus a traitor to the rest of us.

Kill me I am engaging with GQ content:

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

Tusk has just formally confirmed that Varadkar will get an official veto on any Brexit discussions.

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

They think of it as 'two Bonds'.

Imagine being a subscriber to GQ for FIFTEEN years!

long-term subscriber loyalty is p much the base-level model of any magazine that isn't youth-oriented, so i don't actually find it that unimagineable

So who's on the cover of Irish GQ?
