Good to see the growing realisation that a huge amount of the money that has been thrown at NGOs over the last ten years has gone to Tory chancers, undercover cops and MI5 assets.

i have ilxor Tim H to thank for introducing me to the Scampi Fries gestalt. I can still remember the place: The Old King's Head on Borough High Street. Every subsequent Scampi Fry (Frie?) has tasted.... just as good

^^^this was the second time this idea had been unleashed on GBP (the first was in 1994, when it contained libido-enhancing ginseng rather than aphrodisiac guarana seed)

"(Rashford) has been using his profile in a positive way to highlight some very important issues"...

...that the leader of the Labour Party couldn't be arsed with until today because it was focused grouped and wasn't likely to bring him a 2.7 point poll boost with tory voting cunts and he was trying a forensically constructive approach to Tory-policy child poverty which involves not giving a flying fuck about it.

This is what's coming.

Priti Patel just called Jeremy Corbyn's politics racist in the House of Commons

The home secretary said: "I am saddened that the leader of the opposition has effectively failed to depart from the divisive, hateful, racist politics of its former leader"

It gets worse.

Labour has sought to avoid being dragged into the debate over trans rights after it emerged that the government is considering scrapping plans to allow people to self-declare their legal gender https://t.co/VFP0E3mt6a

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/15/dismay-over-adviser-chosen-set-up-uk-race-inequality-commission-munira-mirza

It is understood that Mirza has said she hopes to recruit Trevor Phillips as part of the commission. Phillips, the former chair of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

even Theresa May was too much of a wishy washy anti-racist for Mirza liking, a real piece of work.

profiles in courage

I mean they are just taking the piss, like when they made Liz Truss the equalities minister, you just know they are pissing themselves laughing at what a top notch windup that is.

OTM "We don't give a fuck, we've got the majority, what are you going to do about it?" New Labour were similarly cocky.

In the oncoming Depression anyone finding themselves out of work could always retrain as a know-nothing gobshite fraud, a profession for which there appears to be limitless demand.

today's US Supreme Court decision makes these Tories look even worse on transgender rights, which I didn't think was possible!

the faux benevolence of Trump's "I can live with it" vs Starmer's "..."

There's probably more silent TERFs likely to vote Labour (in, er, 2024) than there are trans people, so he's figured he's onto a winner!

"Two of the government’s most powerful civil servants have said they were not aware of any attempt to make economic preparations for a possible global pandemic in the years leading up to the coronavirus outbreak.

Sir Tom Scholar and Alex Chisholm, the permanent secretaries in the Treasury and the Cabinet Office respectively, confirmed that although the government simulated an international flu outbreak in 2016, Whitehall did not devise a plan for dealing with the consequences for the economy.

Instead, Scholar told MPs, civil servants devised schemes to help businesses “as they went along”."

I can’t recall Smeeth’s position on the release of leaked documents outing her as a ‘strictly protected‘ CIA asset but I’m sure she’s in favour.

I get such a huge secondary-school bully vibe from her.

Good to know priorities for censorship include *checks notes* one of the world’s most famous authors who will get published heard wherever she wishes.

feel bad for mata but marcus has my heart now

maybe those white middle-aged men are just all fans of Middlemarch?

the war memorials thing bothers me. have they (the protectors) really confused statues of slavers with war memorials? or are they doing it deliberately to cast, without basis, the BLM people as anti-"our-finest-hour"?

It's absolutely a deliberate strategy from Johnson down.

Also bunch of booze and testosterone fuelled lads who are lockdown stir crazy and looking for a ruckus.

It is incredible how a lot of the people who were saying we absolutely must get children back to school as quickly as possible so they can eat properly are the same people apparently unwilling to feed them in any other capacity.

Wouldn't be surprised if the government u-turned on this one - you can ignore Labour comfortably but ignoring England's Marcus Rashford is more difficult - and Rashford is potentially exposing himself to a hate campaign that would dwarf anything faced by Raheem Sterling in its virulence.

Someone I went to school with was doing the whole "disgraceful, these people died for our freedoms" thing on Facebook over a picture of a defaced monument of some Confederate general with minimal impact on modern Britain but he was getting such a virtual shitkicking from several of the black people who went to our school that I just sat there and watched and then quietly defriended him. A lot of people will just kneejerk into these kinds of arguments and they can be prompted to do so with extreme ease, as the government has realised.
