Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

Ha! Well, of course.

lool!

The actual tweets are hard to defend. I guess in a small way it's a bit creepy this sort of hunt through people's tweets, and even the idea of Twitter as archive of morals, but equally I know the tweets that would end my candidacy would not include something like his 'black women scare me'.

Any of these guys that are ignoring their advisers instruction to have tweets on auto-delete should be banished to playing with the reserves yes I know CHUK is already the reserves

CHUK aren't the Under 2's reserves, were strictly talking the foetus league reserves here.

i have an acquaintance who upon getting a spin doctor position with the snp was given a day off before starting to comb through all of his online activity and delete anything offending. the fact that actual elected officials so often fail to do so (including in that party) boggles the mind

About 7/8 years ago I got a job in media and my then boss, on my first day, was like "what's your Twitter handle?" - at the time Twitter was used a lot less and I (stupidly) tended to take a more lax attitude to it as far as posting on nights out etc went, versus Facebook which felt like family and stuff and a bit more safe. I had to deliberately give him the wrong handle, delete a load of tweets, and then say I only used it sporadically.

Though as it turned out he wouldn't have cared anyway, but I didn't know him v well at that point.

I've got to give the CHUKers some credit, their candidate selection process is adding greatly to the gaiety of the nation.

if any us wanted to be MEPs... is it technically possible to delete all of an ILX user’s posts easily?

asking for user frederik B

The post, now deleted, advocated for little feat’s inclusion in the “yacht rock” subgenre

Jared O'Mara might be on the Labour frontbench by now if he'd been able to get Drowned In Sound to delete all his posts

Feel like the FAQ should mention that ILX may ruin your future opportunities to become a mild-breaking politician

Altho i can point at potholes and frown on request

mold-breaking, once again spellcheck singles me out as not CUK material

I once posted a very offensive tweet (not with my current account but one .. lol using my real name) to the Military Wives Choir account when they had a christmas single out. I wouldn't do that kind of thing now and was an angry young (late 30's) man at the time and pissed up. GCHQ would have me arrested + on the front cover of the Mail for the same offence these days!

Wow if even you were susceptible to losing your temper it could happen to anyone. Chilling

lol

well these days posting offensive/treasonous stuff about the armed forces is probably quite dangerous you know!

Was it about which Military Wife u'd shag first?

no nothing like that!

I personally asked every single military husband to commit war crimes on my behalf in various Asian countries, feel like unwavering social media support is the least we can do in return.

I told them I certainly hoped they did get some boxes for christmas after hearing that awful bullshit single of theirs, not really good - but how I rolled at the time.

calz so shook by this memory that he ended a post with a full stop

I am cringing at the memory tbf, but butchering apostrophes and overusing exclamation marks is more my game than missing full stops fya :p

The exclamation mark thing is what sic was alluding to

Man who will explain all the posts when I’m dead and gone

(Oh right, sic)

this menace of the attempted online grooming of vulnerable ppl needs to be dealt with!

It is with a heavy heart that I say that it's time for the decent members of Change UK The Independent Group to leave, and form a new centrist party

was racism a problem in the party before heidi allen became leader ?

Instead there's nowhere for him to go, only Change UK will have him in this state.

lol, obv the trots have a boiler room and an army of bots making them look like racists, you weapon!

it's a bit much resigning because somebody lied about you on the internet

Resigning because you lied about yourself on the internet is even weirder.

i'm certain that the rest of the CUK MPs are hugely embarrassed by Gapes and constantly laughing at him behind his back

"far left trot trolls" is a tongue-twister for the 21st century tho

It has led to a serious misreading of Brexit as imperialism. In fact most Brexiter thought is radical liberal, dreaming of a return to unilateral free trade. Boris Johnson and others pepper speeches with references to cheap imported food, clothes and shoes for British workers. On the other hand, much of the campaign for Brexit recalled the nationalism of the 1960s and 1970s: take back national control, fund the National Health Service, keep out immigrants – Europeans as well as non-Europeans – a time when Labour was the anti-EEC party.

Does anyone from useful idiots to true believers really believe a country with the population of 64 million, and a relatively tiny manufacturing industry has some post-brexit imperialist future? Even poorly educated, tabloid reading fuckwits brexit voters that I talk to see that our domestic plutocrat shitheels like Dyson are outsourcing everything to fuck, and being a satellite of the behemoth China is much more likely our future. The only people misreading brexit as an imperialistic project are deranged numpts like Gavin Williamson, whose opinions truly don't count. But I still like reading Edgerton a lot, especially on 40's/50's Britain.

Right, but that's because perfidious Continentals are holding you back, stuffing your dues into the engines of Germany.

Stuffing our what into what now

Yeah fair point, I hadn't actually read that out!

hard to believe that people with repellent racist and Islamophobic views could end up in the party historically dedicated to resisting social change and to suppressing minority rights

a LOT of seumas milne conspiracism on the TL this week
