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.

— Stephen Bush (@stephenkb) October 9, 2018

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.

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.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 15:10 (five years ago) link

Maybe that should be retoxifying.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 15:10 (five years ago) link

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.

calzino, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 15:16 (five years ago) link

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!

"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.

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 07:41 (five years ago) link

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

Leon Carrotsky (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 October 2018 07:43 (five years ago) link

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

All right! A new season! (Bananaman Begins), Wednesday, 10 October 2018 07:45 (five years ago) link

I have some suggestions if so.

Leon Carrotsky (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 October 2018 07:47 (five years ago) link

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

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 07:48 (five years ago) link

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.

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 08:35 (five years ago) link

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

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 08:39 (five years ago) link

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!

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

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 09:03 (five years ago) link

ex-Blackburn striker Andre Jermaine Clarke, 30.

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 09:04 (five years ago) link

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.

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.

Dan Hodges is almost beyond parody but Simon Hedges manages it, somehow. He’s a combination of several centrist treasures but the weirdly tragic Hodges is a key ingredient.

I've been banned from the Labour Party conference and have been forced to attend the Conservative Party conference instead. Just for having an opinion.

— Simon Hedges (@Orwell_Fan) October 2, 2018

The Momentum Militants that have taken over the Labour Party should feel nothing but shame that they've forced me to attend every Tory Party conference of the last 10 years.

xps

well do I feel foolish haven taken absolutely verbatim what some duplicitous tory politico said in a conference speech. What a harsh lesson!

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 14:16 (five years ago) link

xp I thought I was well up on hedges lore but I don’t think o know this? I remember the Hugo Rifkind one which was funny.

Also this was great:

Hi Simon. It seems a long time now since you were teaching me to be a journalist, great days! If you could just copy and paste this message that would be great: "Really enjoying reading Lost Connections by Johann Hari, highly recommended!" Cheers mate.

I have been asked to make the following statement. Ian Smith MP is not afraid of the golden taste of Hobgoblin. He buys "a wide range of beers and ciders from the supermarket, yes sometimes even own brand lager, there's nothing wrong with that." pic.twitter.com/KS7j94NiYL

at the risk of repeating myself: the list of ppl he follows is beautifully curated. whenever I see an atrocious tweet by an unfamiliar name and I hover over it to see "followed by simon hedges" I smile. he's providing a valuable service

It must be mortifying for some of his targets to see themselves being done like this, if they actually have a modicum of self awareness that is.

calzino, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link

This is appalling and shows how much we all need to do just to survive.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/10/corbynism-work-government-borough-haringey

Rather than taking up the traders’ case, Ejiofor and Adje have fobbed them off. Instead of Haringey cracking down on the market manager, last month it sent an enforcement officer to hassle traders. A pregnant woman running a nail bar was found without a licence, and told to close the shop. In a complaint that I have seen, she said she had felt “embarrassed and humiliated” in front of customers and neighbours. Days later, she miscarried.
