have you quit the labour party yet?

The chatter on this thread is reprehensible and reminds me of the good old days of dom, jon and marcello. Good job class warriors

DON'T TRY IT

Lol oh for the good old days

wait why were u banned?

Wait I take that back, I really just meant Marcello I think. Dom and Jon are in a different category

Plax (and calz I guess) -

rolling FP number request thread

xp. yes, Marcello was not really all that different to some "difficult" posters we still have amongst us currently. Dom was carrying on off-board harassment campaigns and such iirc

You recall correctly

Ftr I never threatened to murder anybody, just posted that I'd rather murder him than vote for him and followed this up with I'd vote for Mair's favourite party the Greens these days. But fuck it life is too short can't be arsed going into this, just going to acquaint myself with Killfile instead.

And go masturbate over a military installation Tombot, Marcello is worth a million of you

Seems we have a rogue mod on the loose.

Ffs

LADS

it's all kicking off

UK politics threads are like so many demos I've been to in the past 10 years; there's this ritual.

You've got the various factions of protesters, the nice quaker/Green types with their organised signs saying 'down with this sort of thing', the Sisters Uncut who are really well prepared, and have a loudspeaker and are reading out name of the murdered or a list of the demands, and of course a few tankies in black bandanas and hoodies with anarchy symbols on them, who are milling about menacingly and occasionally shouting "ACAB!" or "Riot!!!" or whatever.

And some copper will come over, and start trying to tell people to take it easy, look, all the coppers are on overtime now and want to go home, could the demo maybe wind it up (and he will 100% say in the inquest afterwards or whatever, that he was genuinely trying to calm things down) - but one of the Sisters will kiss her teeth at him, and the hoodies will make pig noises and start oinking or whatever, and the cop will go beserk and just start telling us we're all scum. So the hoodies start throwing plastic bottles at the cops and taunting them - and BOOM! 500 cops appear out of nowhere, start pushing the crowd back, the tankies smash in the window of Foxton's, there's a million photographers snapping photos of it, and suddenly you're in a kettle and it's got *nasty*.

People will look at descriptions of that situation, and say, "no one wants to go to demos any more, the fucken tankies make it unsafe!!!" When, really, the reason people stop going to demos is because of the *cops*.

Now do the US Pol threads

(xp) And now imagine some American cop who thinks he's some kind of maverick hardass showing up on one of those demos.

This is coming true.

lets set some realistic goals here : jokes banned by 2016. sex banned by 2020. a cop in every household by 2025

two rights do make a wrong it turns out

Haha I don’t go in US politics threads, they are all ~brrrristling with guns~

Calz at least has to get near me to have a stab at me!

US politics threads are all just cops with the occasional bemused 'tankie' piping up to ask wth is going on in here

Nobody on here is a fucking tankie and someone using the term unironically is the sure sign of a moron.

I'm a Maoist now

If there is any person on this thread using the term “tankie” unironically, it isn’t me, soooo...

Thank you for your critical support gyac but that BBC thing on the economy I posted this morning is just like North Korean TV.

I picture North Korean TV being a bit more respectful of its audience than BBC news tbh

xp all my support for you is critical and I don’t watch things you post

Critical support keeps me honest thanks

north korean tv's audience: chairmans alph, kim jong-un

s/b chairsman

And his (hot) sister xp

And Trump. What a triumvirate, eh?

Very upset by this

Judd Trump that is.

Kim Jong-Un, pintman

I could murder a sandwich rn

Monte Kris-to?

Seems relevant:

if you call people tankies in 2020 I'm gonna assume you're an odious daily beast type and that's a lot worse

At this stage I am unconvinced that there are any members of the Labour Party on this thread.

They don't let Maoists in tbf

I’m still a member but that is just cause I am dilatory, I also still have Netflix which is also shite

wins is why TUCA & BERTIE didn't get a second season >:(

Why, I’m still paying for the garbage!

netflix is worse than the labour party but it's close

Labour's been shit since the early 50s tho, Netflix can't compete with that

Reevesy & Starmzy is a massive downgrade on Rick and Morty

You get thrown out of the party for saying stuff like that nowadays

Full Labour email including the bits about the Panorama settlements (from image 2) and how the leadership expects people to fall in line/not talk about that. Not that shocking, but have a read.

Toxic nonsense about behaving respectful and "comradely" after 4y of wrecking Corbyn. pic.twitter.com/qsQEyOrPFz

Cancel culture out of control

Full credit to @ejhchess for spotting this, but there’s a new ‘grass roots’ crowdfunder in town and it’s got some big supporters. pic.twitter.com/iA5Aeq5WKD

The attempt to start a US-style PAC and Starmer’s recent round of Please Sir May I Have Some More letters to donors makes me wonder what the current state of the membership is. The last update I can find is from April and iirc there’s probably a six month lag between people cancelling their direct debits and officially being taken off the rolls.
