"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

Jesus Christ that's something

Just say no, kids

yeah, fucking low-level letterboxes

I've always said Jimmy Carr is a cunt and should be executed.

I genuinely hope he literally get's murdered

A Night With Calz

^^^would attend obv

I guarantee you it would only be occasionally mildly amusing at best and eventually quite exhaustingly boring. But hey I'm not a comedian!

the whoops from the crowd in that Carr clip are sickening, comedy audiences are the worst as well.

I think it was the birthday or death anniversary of Jeremy Hardy the other day and thinking how about 99% of british comedy are complete cunts and he was so nice.

I've always said Jimmy Carr is a cunt and should be executed.

Like to think you just posted this randomly and haven't seen the news.

well at least now I can argue for justifiable homicide!

Sean Lock as well, another who was quite funny and not a tory prick who was taken early by cancer. All the worst ones will outlive us all.

even Jerry Sadowitz couldn't make it funny saying the genocide of european roma was a positive. There is no fucker in the world who can make that funny, yet these simps laughed and some whooped.

this was posted by George Aylett. Pointing out that Pamela Anderson had a much better position of what was going on in 2018 re: Brexit than the shadow brexit minister Kieth Stauner.

Various Twitter people suggesting that the correct form of restorative justice for Jimmy Carr would be to get lamped by Tyson Fury. Fair IMO.

as long as Tyson is allowed to put some nuts and bolts in his gloves!

The defence of Carr seems to boil down to “calm down, it was a joke” but what was the joke? As far as I can tell there was no irony and it’s just a man saying the systemic slaughter of an ethnic group was good because they’re bad and the audience lapping it up in agreement

don't give these fuckers any money, just download illegal torrents if you are addicted to watching garbage.

Great how the calls for Netflix to pull this will 100% not result in that happening but will give Jimmy Carr plenty of opportunity to go on TV shows to cry about cancel culture.

Not that I think the calls shouldn't be made, it's just.

not seen any response to this from any of his high profile "committed anti-racist" chums yet. It will take some gold medal winning bullshit at the sophistry olympics to argue that this was acceptable or even comedy, seeing as it was objectively unfunny.

lol went on Baddiel's twitter fully expecting him to not give a toss about a demographic that truly "doesn't count" when it comes to most ppl's anti-racism and fair dos, he calls Carr's joke indefensible.

not shocked to discover he has previous anti-GRT form

Channel 4 have another let's gawp at the travelling community series coming up, none of these cunts give a fuck.

idk, I think this one might have crossed a line. There’s a potential issue of criminal liability as well. I’d be surprised if Netflix left it as-is.

Impressed by Pamela Anderson, overall.

Are we talking about the Trojan horse affair podcast anywhere?

probably not one of the most flattering pictures of Jeremy!

evidently also impressed by pamela anderson, overall

Looking forward to a war with China

We completely reject any questions over sovereignty of the Falklands.

The Falklands are part of the British family and we will defend their right to self determination.

China must respect the Falklands' sovereignty 🇬🇧🇫🇰

— Liz Truss (@trussliz) February 6, 2022

It’s all theatre for now but interesting to see where Labour’s new line that the government is Soft On China And Russia leads.

Will his appointment be an act of political “Harri-kiri” or “Harri-Krishna”?
@Dominic2306 clearly thinks the former. But some around the PM hope the new faces in No.10 can spread peace and love with MPs, and the public.

Please ban all lobby journalists

"Wil MPS be saying "Good-o" for Guto, or will they still be saying "Hari-ap and G(ut)o" to the Prime Minister?"

"I walked in, I gave him a salute and said ‘Prime Minister, Guto Harri reporting for duty’ and he stood up from behind his desk and started to salute but then said ‘What am I doing, I should take the knee for you."....

jesus, what a nauseating cunt he is

"I then asked ‘Are you going to survive Boris?’ And he said in his deep voice, slowly and with purpose, whilst singing a little as he finished his sentence ‘I Will Survive’.
" he answered, ‘I’ve got all my love to give’, so we had a little blast of Gloria Gaynor!".. says Harri

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Dan Carden, Ian Lavery, Tony Lloyd, Rebecca Long Bailey, John McDonnell, Grahame Morris, Cat Smith, Nadia Whittome.

Just 15 out of 199 “Labour” MPs voting against making poor people poorer. 🥀

Just want to note, now it's the day after, how the leader of the opposition was yelled at by a mob and nobody commented on it or raised concerns that "while I don't like Starmer this is worrying for democracy". Thank you all so much for not giving a shit.

critical support for violent anti-vaxxer Piers Corbyn adjacent lynch mob!

Anything that gets bad headlines for Boris is fine by me.

Everything is getting bad headlines for Boris rn.

xps to xyzzzz__ probably because everyone remembers this

I’m old enough to remember when Corbyn got egged (or, got punched by a guy holding an egg) and the timeline was full of egg puns. Glad threats to the leader of the opposition’s safety are no longer a hilarious laughing matter!

if the CPS had prosecuted Savile while led by Starmer, he'd be using it and playing the brave big game hunter who took down the most prolific hiding-in-plain-sight sex offender in UK history. It didn't and this subsequently been weaponised against him, goes with the territory when you take top cop-wanker jobs imo. It's some mild karmic payback for all the people who did longer prison sentences for benefit fraud or faced summary night court justice for stealing a gingerbread man. I couldn't care less if he got a serious kicking, the fucking snake.

this toxic parliamentary discourse could lead to a politician getting murdered, which is fine as long as it's JC - my piece in the Graun.

He’ll never do it but it might be worth him mentioning that the party opposite had that beast to Chequers, knighted him, gave him a skeleton key to Broadmoor, and were happy to have him campaign for their party as late as 2010, and as to prosecuting journalists? Phone hacking.

If KS was the kind of politician who’d say any of that, he wouldn’t have journalists queuing up to decide that this, now, is an outrage. Thinking of this quote from Jimmy C (whose statue I’m visiting tomorrow!)

We regard capitalist journalism as an effective weapon in the hands of a well-informed, but utterly unscrupulous, enemy, rather than merely as an unbiased recorder of passing events.

— James Connolly (@ConnollyEbooks) February 8, 2022

You are neglecting your duty as long as you allow your City Hall to be in the power of men who, as landlords, derive their living from the rents they extort out of the poisonous slums in which they are slowly murdering the children of the working class.

— James Connolly (@ConnollyEbooks) February 8, 2022

still otm

Literally any quote of his from more than a century ago is more otm than every journalist in Westminster combined! Too bad he was from Edinburgh.

It is necessary in Ireland as well as in England to emphasise the point that the policy of the capitalist at present throughout the world is the policy of pretended sympathy with working class aspirations.

— James Connolly (@ConnollyEbooks) February 5, 2022

And a Hibee to boot.

A great man. Where is the statue?

The top of old Abbey Street, I’ll take a picture for you!

http://www.talkingstatuesdublin.ie/statues/connolly/

I think if Connolly could have chosen, Tom, he’d have been born in Glasgow. I notice Edinburgh doesn’t have a statue of him.

from what I've seen Kieth seems quite a lot more evasive and nervous on defending his decision not to prosecute Worboys for additional crimes. And he was personally responsible for that one. But that's one they'll detonate at a later date if he's still LOTO.

(xp) there has been talk of having a statue to him in Edinburgh for a while, you can imagine why the council might have reservations about it. To be fair to Edinburgh, there was a massive Irish community there and the Hibs were the first Scottish team to represent that community in Scotland, Celtic came later.
