PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

Who da thought that when we've got three Britannia Unchained lunatic extremists as cabinet ministers that everything would be so chained up

To go back to an earlier argument I missed

At the end of all this - not sure quite what “this” is or whether it will ever end - we need to think about what “hard right”, “hard left” “far right” “far left”
and “fascist” mean now, because they are being thrown around with such abandon that we will need new words soon.

BBC Westminster was one of the last places I worked at the BBC and there is definitely not any shred of a project to lace reporting with an agenda. We were attacked daily - the main goal each day was to be fair, and invalidate those accusations

first step to avoid having an agenda is to admit that you've got an agenda

Haha yes^

hedges is still making me lol

Part of the problem with the BBC and other broadcasters is that middle-class people working there are asked to imagine how someone in Wigan might feel, and head out on gammon safari, because they cannot imagine anything other than stereotypes, which they then perpetuate.

Wait...has Hedges gone Corbynite? That’s well off brand.

is he saying the coalition killed more ppl than Iraq ? !!!

Part of the issue afaict is they have this weird sense that they work for the BBC, so they’re the good guys and everyone who criticises them is delusional and can’t see their obviously reasonable intentions.

I mean, look at how wet this is:

Ok, you’ve libelled four people! But don’t worry we have to lie down and take it. But I have reported you to Twitter (for all the good that will do) and will be blocking you. I doubt you’ll miss my tweets.

without so much as once having the decency to publicly discuss exactly how right wing and how fringe he thinks you have to be before you stop deserving a national media platform. i guess he figures all the Maoist guests on QT even it out

Lost in showbiz is a satire column in the G2 section if you're reading that without context.

That should be xped back to François becoming a celebrity. It's supposed to be a joke not serious.
But Channel 4 did do similar with Faraday a few years ago. Had him turn up as a taking head in things like gosh weren't the 70s funny or whatever it was called. Normalised someone who should ideally have remained marginalised for dodgy politics.

That's Channel 4 with Farage when my phone isn't autocorrecting

they have definitely fucked

Lol remember this the next time the Telegraph is handwringing about Labour being the real racists. (Along with the time they published a Soros conspiracy theory straight out of Órban’s rhetoric.)

hang on. what was "BRIXTON ENDEAVOURS LIMITED", which changed its name to "Centre for Countering Digital Hate" in August 2019? pic.twitter.com/70WbXZDXR3

good Labour right conspiracy thread on the hateful bullshit people behind Centre for Countering Digital Hate

the MD ran Liz kendall's leadership campaign

the CCDH share office space with a firm of debt collectors. i don’t draw any conclusions from that, it’s just funny

— 📻 Planxty Art Bell (@nailheadparty) September 19, 2019

awesome, Linda Papadopoulos, star of The Most Annoying Pop Moments... We Hate to Love and Celebrity Fit Club USA is on the team

I like howLammy is telling S Heritage(lol) to stfu and not preach to a black person on how they are supposed to deal with racist arseholes on social media.

Stuart Heritage

Simon Hedges

makes u think!

pretty sure Heritage is the spoof out of those two

an interesting point is that Hedges doesn't follow him

he's even too on the nose for parody account inspiration

Heritage as long game parody persona would be great but i suppose i just have to reconcile myself to living in a world where he's real and has an audience

Fuck, the streets of sapporo are full of gammon with cauliflower ears. Take them back.

anyway it looks like Kwasi Kwarteng needs to send for the Centre for Countering Digital Hate Lulz this morning

hard to believe another Tory MP could be cancelled, what has he done?

Doesn't work even the in that context, and in a place where the current PM has cashed in from just this kind of thing. She didn't appear to mention BJ (from my brief skim).

also it was written like shit and not funny or satirical

xxp oh god that's so terrible I had to stop it after 20 seconds, good job Kwasi

apparently he bullshitted badly on a range of subjects but that one's a beaut

even when he's got time and space and full editorial control to make radio programs about the BE he still talks lots of specious bullshit

that's his role, to bluster and bullshit and say "Look..." in a condescending Etonian manner. He was May's chief apologist and is doing the same for Johnson.
