I’ve taken yanks to English football grounds and the thing they are always blown away by is that you walk down a residential street and it’s just there.

It’s guns vs butter in a very real sense.

What percentage of the population is made up of mashed potato-eating robots? Makes you wonder what agenda is at play here.

Katie Lam

Idi Amin in military uniform

Tory MP and "rising star" Katie Lam supports the mass deportation of families who came to the UK legally — a policy so unprecedented it has been compared with Idi Amin's expulsion of Asians.

But did you know Lam has drawn sartorial, as well as policy, inspiration from the brutal Ugandan dictator?

I’m just filling an envelope, like

Gonna get me a radiator key

Gonna bleed them radiators

I’m losing my mind over this. Official opposition policy is something that should see you drummed out of polite society. How the hell have we got here?

Not a cultural touchstone over there I realise, but the image this lad has tattooed on him is literally the thing that makes David Mitchell ask ’are we the baddies’

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

What is the charge? Dressing as a penis? Dressing as a throbbing erect penis?

Well it’s been a difficult week in many ways but seeing the New York Trump fan land on his face and show his pants makes me grateful my dignity is more intact than some in this world.

I can’t quite get a proper look, but at one point it looks like an emo youth in a leather trenchcoat, Matrix shades and piercings is trying to talk some sense into someone old enough to be his grandad.

He’s definitely thinking ‘I’m too old for this shit’ throughout the whole caper.

I am so so despondent about the state of politics. This stuff even ten years ago would have required loss of the whip and an apology tour.

The original post is of course just the most frightful rot but I’m not sure this response is the gotcha people seem to think. Nobody disputes aloo gobhi is an Indian dish do they.

I wonder what the gender split was back then. His ‘men and women’ reference seemed somewhat jarring…my guess is hardly any women went back then and more do now.

The lads are oot and aboot in that there London 🇯🇵

Having thought about it, the Jenrick thing is an incredibly complicated lot of nonsense to say his real point which is ‘there’s a lot of Muslims in Brum nowadays - this is bad ’.

You’d think Devil Woman had never been written. #totp

Oh here’s Sting with his Jamaican accent, looking like Freddie Starr. #totp

I do love this era of #totp. Punk? Disco? New Wave? No, mostly 50s nostalgia shite.

Also I imagine his reason for this nonsense is something to do with the Tel Aviv fans thing, but what fucking point is he actually making? That in the eighties our racist thugs were more salt of the earth than today’s racist thugs?

By 1989, aged SEVEN, Robert Jenrick had a keen understanding of the sociological makeup of a football stadium, and of police response tactics to crowd violence. He truly is a special politician.

Was he a barrister who poisons a bloke?

I actually got a little bit excited seeing this today

This song really speaks to Jay Kay’s upbringing on the streets of Detroit #totp

Horses for courses and all that but I never fancied Jayne Middlemiss that much back in the day and I don’t now. I’m sure she’s devastated, like. #totp
