one out all out: a brexit from the modern world and every one of its problems please (we're all gonna die lol)

Prig of the dump.

There is an electrical device fix-it whizz across the road from me known as Pete the Geek, who leaves the odd tv or whatever is truly knackered + ready for the electronic graveyard outside the front of his house for the scrappers. Any still functional stuff he will sell on e-bay - I didn't think ppl threw stuff away that still actually works these days, but maybe soon we all become scrappers!

Our local fixit shop is called Total Recoil, which makes me smile when I walk past.

‘If people are willing to pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds for football season tickets, then seeking to have a fair price for a work of great curatorial brilliance and collections, doesn’t seem to be wrong.’

stout defender of free museums Tristam Hunt definitely talks like someone who would prefer less of the type of people also priced out of football getting any access to them.

Been getting targeted ads for the tories in my FB feed. Seems they have finally woken up to "we need some voters under 50", though not enough to actually change any of their policy.

hey, they're claiming the centre ground, it said so in the Graun

lately R4 has been running lots of features on the inequities of UC/PIP etc.. I'd like to think they are finding it harder to prop up these horrible things because attitudes are changing. But a grumpy encounter with this ignorant twat of a bus driver earlier has me feeling that 90% of bus drivers are vermin and hate disabled people and are very much fairly representative of the UK electorate rn. I think the Tories will be quite happy to carry on as per, just with a bit of One Nation all-in-this-together Cameron 2015 type lip service to how moderate they are next to Corbyn's "extremism".

i went to the v&a on friday. the ticket price was 18 quid or 20 quid if i wanted to support the museum. which suggests the 18 pounds isn't supporting the museum, or not enough anyway. so why not make it 20 quid and stop faffing with the optional bit?

the people on the counter can't like asking people and people don't like refusing, doesn't seem worth it.

18 quid is about 2 hours wages for a lot of people, and it only took me an hour to walk around it.

Tristam only wants the V+A to connect with ppl that shop at John Lewis and are Chelsea season ticket holders!

Well, museums like the V&A and Tates are free (I don’t know anyone except for tourists who pay the ‘suggested donation’) but headline shows like the Turner Prize, the Bowie retrospective or Frida Kahlo start at £15, which is expensive enough.

last time I went to the Tate Modern was for an amazing Bruce Nauman exhibition. Loved the building so much as well. The only thing I didn't love was my kid accidentally bumping into a sourfaced Dave Stewart and not knocking the tosser over!

Unexpected racial bonuses in British politics: Shaun Bailey's astonishingly unaged skin is going to help him in that he keeps saying "I made these remarks when I was young", when he was in fact in his mid to late thirties at the time.

lol!

I laughed at the following reply to Stephen Bush's other post about the unaging Shaun Bailey yesterday:
(let's see if I can embed a tweet)

He has a manifesto in his attic with increasingly grown-up policies written down on it.

lol! Maybe this time the Tory candidate will campaign on: I'm a bigot and a moron and what you see is what you get, but check this flawless skin out folks!

didn't help him when he stood in hammersmith in 2010 (i knew the name sounded familiar)

lol, Chris Williamson facing a trigger ballot - loathsome character and would love to see him deselected, even if it does make Luke Akehurst glow with happiness.

OTM x1000

He should already be gone for appearing on RT, if that isn't bringing the party into disrepute I don't wtf does then.

If you're gonna throw one to the sharks to counter the Stalinist takeover narrative it might as well be the idiot Stalinist.

On the other hand, union reactionaries, y'know?

Given his super-marginal constituency and his enthusiastic contribution towards toxifying the Labour Party this guy needs to go immediately. It doesn't matter which side of the party he's on, keeping him around does no one any favours at all.

Maybe that should be retoxifying.

his regular paying homage to Galloway/Livingstone on social media, his consistently inflammatory remarks during the height of Labour Antisemitism, he might as well be playing for the other side.

I was sat in the seat directly behind Chris Williamson on the train from Derby to London for 90 minutes yesterday morning and I did nothing.

Among the remarks unearthed by BuzzFeed News are claims that “good looking” girls in the area “tend to have been around” and that “poor people” require “rules” and “direction” or else they will turn to crime.

this Bailey chap was only 14 34 when he made these comments!

Tommy Robinson poses for photo surrounded by smiling British soldiers chanting ex-EDL leader's name

The English Defence League founder shared a picture of himself posing with a group of grinning young men in camouflage uniform and an Army investigation has been launched

"UK appoints its first minister for suicide prevention"

This is like when they give aid to Yemen, after selling the weapons used to annihilate them to the Saudis.

(we're all gonna die lol)

So is this minister just gonna spend all day talking people down?

Is the idea to get rid of various factors that might prevent vulnerable ppl from committing suicide

I have some suggestions if so.

quoting some inspirational Jo Cox quotes at them should do the trick.

locally they put these platitudinous "more in common" type slogans on signs, bus stops, bloody everything, near some of the poorest, crime ridden estates of Batley and Staincliffe. If you wanted to expose the absolute wrongness of that type of centrist drivel-speak, you couldn't put them up in better locations than where they are.

I'd deffo love to replace it all with "(lol, we're all gonna die)"

There is story in the local rag about a Batley drug dealer who kidnapped someone and scalded his balls with boiling water, while making sing a Whitney Houston song. "more in common" doesn't quite cover that in the way lol, we're all gonna die does!

^ Real England

I was going to post it there, but thought it might be too graphic and trigerry!

just for some added Worcester sauce one of the fellow torturers (who got 15 years) is an "ex-professional footballer".

ex-Blackburn striker Andre Jermaine Clarke, 30.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Clarke_(footballer,_born_1988)

Doesn't the veracity of the slogan depend to an extent on what the Whitney Houston song was? I mean that Bodyguard soundtrack was a pretty huge seller.

The Greatest Love of Balls

It's not right...

I wanna feel the HEAT with somebody

lol

Ow, well I know..

scalding drug dealer bollocks: it's not right but it's okay

exciting!

Totally agree Laura, it baffles me that the corbynista's think May saying "Austerity is over" could be interpreted as meaning "there will be no austerity measures in the next budget". A review next year to ascertain the possibility of easing off on cuts is really exciting.
