The Politics Thread

Yep, that was this mornings actual front page

 

The pussy who attacked Owen Jones had a collection of far-right crap, rather unsurprisingly:

"The collection of memorabilia and badges found after a search in late August featured symbols from far-right group Combat 18, banned terror group the Loyalist Volunteer Force, and Chelsea Football Club."

 

That's odd, there were approximately 17 Spiked articles saying that it wasn't a member of the far-right who attacked him...

 

In the article the defence claim that the C18 stuff ain't a sign of him being a racist but part of him bring a chelsea fan ... banter aside that is a ****ing outrageous claim

 

"possession of the items was “consistent with Mr Healy being a Chelsea football supporter”."

This is the sort of **** they're talking about:

It's design is based on the Nazi Kriegsflagge and features the Totenkopf of the 3rd SS Panzer Division. Very patriotic.

 

It's all to show their support of Antonio Rudiger

...as long as he knows his place and keeps his mouth shut

 

That's terrible by the BBC

Letting a couple of non-whites into the Question Time audience like that. What next, people who vote Labour getting in???

In other news, can somebody remind me when Bumblebee Man was ever presented as Scottish?

 

What the Labour leadership hustings this afternoon made clear is the issue that's been plain to see since the Blair era, namely that some of the candidates came across as having actually interacted with members of the public at some point in their political career, while others came across as the only interaction they ever have with other people is when talking to journalists and making sure the main topic of conversation is themselves

No prizes for guessing which camp Jess Phillips falls into...

 

I'm not sure there is an adjective that effectively covers the stupidity of this Tweet from a Brexit Party MEP on the penultimate day of the UKs participation in the European Parliament.... WTAF!!

 

Had to laugh. Gun nuts turning out in Virginia at the capitol. One,on tv,tells them guns don't kill people. Tell them in Kansas City,Hawaii etc. I think those people need their gun in one hand and penis in the other!!!
Tell them the Indians were wiped out years ago.

 

I watched a bit of PM Question Time...….does the PM have a speech problem or does he speak too fast?

 

It’s a brain problem, Smithy

 

No we have the speech problem because he keeps making them.

 

The BBC have announced they need a new Director General

So will it be James Cleverley or Matt Hancock?

 

This time last week Laurence Fox was known for being two things: Billie Piper's ex-husband, and a somewhat wooden actor who wouldn't be getting so much work if he didn't just so happen to be part of the Fox dynasty

Then, all of a sudden, he's announced for the Question Time panel on Thursday, in which he spent most of his time whining about the "racism" that he experiences every day due to being a rich, white male in 21st century Britain, rapidly followed up by a Mail interview over the weekend where he repeated that same material, and ever since he's been spouting off one ignorant morsel of gibberish after another on Twitter, most recently how 1917 is PC gone mad for featuring a Sikh character...even though over a million Sikhs fought in the First World War, including on the Western Front

So here's the thing that's bothering me: it's highly unlikely that the Mail rushed journalists to his house first thing Friday morning for the interview and photoshoot in order to get the interview in place for the weekend, which means they knew what he'd be saying on Question Time and running with it - which in turn indicates that the BBC were happy to give Fox a platform to reinvent himself as the newest member of the alt-right commentariat

...yet somehow that's not even the dodgiest thing about last week's QT, as that dubious honour goes to the new BBC directive that the QT audience should reflect the Tory majority, which meant that even though the recording took place in Liverpool they stuffed the audience with pro-Tory plants they bussed in

 

So much for the new voice that only says "Me! Me! Me!"...





Hmm, I wonder why she couldn't gain support from any non-sociopaths?

 

Nobody ever read those quotes, though. The rest of the ****rag was just the same, but without the welcome distraction.
