Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

Ibterested to see how this works legally given that he's a REDACTED corpse

"good thing there are no cops itt keeping an eye out for any offensive content"

erm.. yes phew. oh hang on, brb it sounds like my front door is getting smashed in with a battering ram!

someone is suggesting he was probably reported locally by some radge orange bastard rather than the gestapo sweeping twitter for disrespectful tweet for the dead [redacted] [redacted] nonce!

Sectarian vibe of the tweet might be more of an issue than the Cap'n Tom Tom Club subject matter

well that's the green light for my series of finely etched lithographs portraying the bad captain on his journey to hell!

Diane Abbott otm about how Hostile Environment has played a big role in eroding trust in the government and helped to foster vaccine skepticism in BAME/immigrant communities.

Di più direi; ma ’l venire e ’l sermone
più lungo esser non può, però ch’i’ veggio
là surger nuovo fummo del sabbione.

Gente vien con la quale esser non deggio.
Sieti raccomandato il mio Tesoro
nel qual io vivo ancora, e più non cheggio».

Poi si rivolse, e parve di coloro
che corrono a Verona il drappo verde
per la campagna; e parve di costoro

quelli che perde, non colui che vince.

Learned yesterday that a friend who works in finance has to go into the office every day because the finance sector officially counts as essential workers.

Looking forward to the clap for hedge funds initiative.

I don't think there's much doubt an Orange bastard will be behind it.

The guy's actually from Lanarkshire, so I'd guess someone in Larkhall or Airdrie has learned how to use twitter.

Meanwhile, the madness continues:

MidKent College lecturer Paul Nickells, who spotted the new artwork at the roundabout near Wainscott on Thursday says it was a "magnificent" tribute.

"I thought it was so realistic because you could notice it was him straight away," he said.

The thing's like 3 foot tall, you stupid cunt.

thank u banky

just what we need, another fascist cult symbol. because flags and poppies and churchill aren’t enough

MidKent College sounds like it's a top notch establishment

Looks like he's riding a lawnmower tbh

btw the tweet upthread is not the one he was arrested for, the real one was along the lines of, "the only good British soldier is a dead one, burn in hell" or something - not really up to calz's standards.

i was very much hoping that wasn't the actual Tweet otherwise things might be looking a bit bleak for posters on this thread

Like this fellow, alongside your offensive post on Captain Tom, you'd have had to post a photo of yourself in a Celtic top for the (Scottish) rozzers to come calling.

phew at least I'll be able to watch Cool Hand Luke without getting panic attacks now!

nothing going the way of celtic fans this season

also it's a fucking disgrace that he's reported as "a glasgow man" but obviously lives in lanarkshire, potentially not all that near to glasgow.

being locked down unable to go to games has been a blessing

If you're going to arrest someone wearing a Celtic top at least make sure it's one of the players.

clap for hedge funds initiative.

Feel like there could be a swelling of support for this.

Up to 10 YEARS IN PRISON for residents returning from Red List countries who lie on their passenger locator forms - Hancock

— Carl Dinnen (@carldinnen) February 9, 2021

Blimey, indeed.

a year of almost zero border measures followed by the threat of a decade in prison sounds about exactly what comes next

I imagine this is pure PR and actual proceedings will carry on as usual. They might arrest a poor bastard or two to pretend they're serious, mind.

possibly pure PP

Until someone from the chumocracy does it, then its wheel the ministers out before the cameras to refute these terrible accusations that anything untoward has happened whatsoever.

There will be a £1000 penalty for those who arrive without a test or who refuse a test alongside a £2000 penalty for those who refuse a second test. There will also be an automatic extension of quarantine for 14 days. There will also be a £10,000 fixed penalty for those who refuse to quarantine.

so anyone who has £13k to burn can waltz off a flight and go about their superspreading activities unimpeded, great news for tory donors

JP Morgan hires Chuka Umunna for senior sustainability role https://t.co/y5jA7yUAlC

— The Guardian (@guardian) February 10, 2021

chuka gets career sustainability role (again)

Couldn't even sustain his own political career ffs

I bet his CV is an entertaining read

He's failed to sustain my interest in his comings and goings, that's for sure.

You can tell he's Labour to the core from his choice of employers

Racist attack on a Gypsy home in the last few days. Notice the petrol can under the trailer door. Is this the natural result of @pritipatel 's performative prejudice unveiling plans for new anti-Gypsy legislation? pic.twitter.com/qGwqSKpclC

it's not like brits need tory encouragement to be openly genocidal about/toward travellers and roma (the shit i've heard from proud tory-bashers regarding what should be done about the miniscule local traveller presence...) but of course it makes everything worse
