I don’t even get it on a basic level - what does clapping mean here, congratulations for getting sick?

I think that "pillock in Iran" might be a bit too preoccupied with their own problems to be harbouring dastardly plans to land occupying artesh forces in Jersey!

ok a "clap for boris" meme just went up in the homerton mutual aid whatsapp, stoked for the response

I'm dreading the horror when this lying racist amoral cunt recovers and gets out of hospital - as we all know he will. He's going to be Churchill and post-Brighton Bombing Thatcher all rolled into one, we are NEVER going to hear the end of this. It'll be like the Winter of Discontent, still be banging on about 50 years later.

But if he croaks it this will be even worse, he'll be a consensus figure and whoever's in charge will get to coast by on that.
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:01 (four years ago) link
He's not going to croak.
― Did somebody just say eat? (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:02 (four years ago) link
I disagree anyway, it'll be far worse if he lives.
They may as well make him Prime Minister for life.

I'm not wishing death on anyone but the sanctimonous pleas for basic human decency from right wing fuckers who shed not a single fucking tear for ten years of austerity, poverty and suicide are getting right on my tits.
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:29 (four years ago) link
Doesn't really need repeating, but Johnson popping his clogs would possibly impact these shitebags on a personal (i.e. financial) level, hence the self-pitying pleas for decency. Some cash-strapped disabled person starving to death in a council flat doesn't, so they don't even think about it. Now just picture the bemused incomprehension if this was pointed out to them.

Going to go out on a limb and say that the cartoonist saying his caricature isn’t antisemitic by posting a closeup of Ed Miliband’s nose in extreme profile may have been a bad decision.

We're not getting out of this for 12-18 months until there's a vaccine, and even then Boris or whoever is in charge will preside over a deep recession. This won't save him.

Trump's speech about how he's personally helping Boris with the theraputics, theraputically. it's quite a thing

(xp) No idea why you think they'd get the blame for a recession.

They've got an even better excuse than Liam Byrne leaving a cheeky wee note in the Treasury.

It's what you do to get out of the recession if people were to lose their livelihoods.

Maybe, but this is the Get Out of Jail card of all time for a presiding government.

They've managed to get away with blaming the last Labour goverment for ten years and three Prime Minsters, how long are they going to be able to spin this one out?

The last financial crisis took place under the last Labour government, and under the Tories there has not been a recession as such.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
proof that austerity works imo, time to liquidate more poors once this all blows over so we can pay for the generosity the government showed in the crisis

I hope we don't have an inquiry when this is over. If there are lessons to be learned, fine; but if there is just blame to be spread, forget it— John Rentoul (@JohnRentoul) April 7, 2020

No one could have predicted something like this. It's a miracle we got off as lightly as we did. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been under Labour. Labour have actually been in power all along. Boris has only been in power for a few weeks and already come through such a major challenge (or martyred himself in the process say what you like about that man but he put his life on the line) he's the right man for the job, fighting off a global threat while the BBC, Labour, the EU, and the metropolitan elite trying to thwart him at every turn. Labour don't even collect the bins on time. Time to move on now I don't see why we have to talk the country down like this and politicize everything
― anvil, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 18:28 (four years ago) link
some people just don't get that politicising politics is not what adults do, it's what 6th formers with Crass stencilled on their pencil case do because they don't do serious politics!
