Inside sources explaining to journalists that, because Tories had never had to fight *against* the British press before - hadn’t had to even defeat opponents, because the Mail and Sun generally handle that - none of them had a clue what to do when they started plastering idiotic lies everywhere
“Revelations from a book” is so funny. Lads it’s your book. This information comes from you. Your job at the newspaper is to provide information in real-time. And yet
It’s not the people that are the problem here.
Whatever slim chances we have of avoiding fascism across the white people world and adapting to a disastrously warming planet, they run right through the middle of “Trump government destroyed by its own idiocy”.
Critically important for the entire species that is, not just for the people of the Middle East and America itself.
You don’t have to think the Iranian military are a great bunch of lads to understand how critically important it is that the American government is forced to *eat shit* here. We shouldn’t even be letting them use our airspace for this brazenly criminal enterprise, never mind anything else.
It suggests there may be something weird going on with a definition of “success” that can somehow include “deliberately made the country hugely worse off in ways it’ll take decades to repair, assuming that can even be done, then resigned having absolutely fucked it”.
Scotland’s rape crisis network was, under increasing difficulty financial circumstances, offering support to survivors in a way that was inclusive of both trans survivors and staff, and people like Susan Dalgety blew it all up
The far right's inappropriately-named "war on woke" was always, in reality, a war on empathy. Now the Daily Mail is finally saying the quiet part out loud...
Can being “the least intellectually curious person [a source has] ever met”, with no understanding, belief or fixed views truly be a bad thing, if none of his many interviewers & profilers noticed or mentioned it between 2020 and late 2024? Let’s find out
Well, we’re certainly into the Say Anything (negative) period now
Can Britain take any more success, at this point
To pick just Cameron: he seems to have fallen into politics by accident; been chosen as leader because he was young and erudite; settled on austerity because it felt like a Tory thing to do and then needlessly promised an EU Referendum to entice racist pensioners back from UKIP.
And then *our* people will rise up to support us is usually a sign of impending disaster. The idea that *their* people will win your war for you is just deranged.
There’s always a particular dog that ate their homework
I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.
Why don't we report that this is plainly absolute fucking bollocks on stilts though? Why does every Winterval and "baa baa rainbow sheep" story have to be treated as if the freaks have a point of view worth considering?
I admit that I just couldn’t vote for Kamala Harris.
Just like Johnson: recruited for a particular job and once he’s no more use and has become acutely embarrassing, he needs to be removed and replaced.
What did I say? I said: when Sir Keir has outlived his usefulness, you will not be able to miss it.
You’d think “wherever it is they’re bombing this week” would be a clue about what’s being said here, but apparently not.
There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
"It used to be that, for many, many years, we would see clips of settlers attacking Palestinians while I.D.F. soldiers stood idly by, doing nothing to stop it... Since October 7th, there has not been even a pretense of a buffer between the violent settlers and the Army. It’s the same people."
Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
Iranian bus drivers specifically, as I recall
Deranged ego-monster and wannabe dictator seeks idiot suckers for criminal war of aggression, mutual humiliation
Started / going
Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive
William Hague: people say politicians are bad but how can that be true when so many of them they went to Oxbridge
Lewis Goodall: spot on m’lord
