Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.

But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.

YouTube video by itsnotkai Huang Chung - Dance Hall Days

Found a copy of the original version of Wang Chung’s Dance Hall Days (1982). Enjoy. Things are rough youtu.be/RTzGmzdt6eA?...

Damn. It’s too fast for me on a first listen

Or at least something very close to it. I think the guitar riff has got a flatted note? On my phone so I can’t hear it so well

Oh my god they do share that riff!

Always love it when you have that Déjà vu feeling with different songs. There’s only so many variations of chords that sound somewhat palatable to our ears, we use so few keys, etc.

YouTube video by WangChungVEVO Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight

Back in the 80s, everybody wanted to do their version of Peter Gabriel’s music video, Sledgehammer. Things are looking rough out there in the big wide world youtu.be/BoXu6QmxpJE?...

I will find the original version of Dance Hall Days, which was released on a 7” single under their original name, Huang Chung. They re-recorded it after the name change for their first album. You may know them for the soundtrack for To Live and Die in LA (1985) and Everybody Have Fun Tonight (1986)

The world may be falling apart, but at least I can figure out the tablature for Wang Chung’s 1982 classic, Dance Hall Days, in 15 min by ear. Easy to play for 90%: Fsus2 C G cycle into F C G cycle. But turnaround is fast and a Fmaj7b5 to E that’s difficult to hear at first youtu.be/V-xpJRwIA-Q?...

Oh wow thank fuck for that. That will solve everything

Board of Deputies statement

Aside from the loathsome content why are @boardofdeputies.bsky.social issuing a statement about this? It has nothing to do with British Jews. If you can’t bring yourself to condemn such blatant military aggression don’t say anything.

there's nothing this walrus-faced fuck wants to see more in life than dead iranians and even when trump jams him up on bunk charges as payback for criticizing him, he falls all over himself to praise his illegal war

Real classic film. Enjoy!

Kuwait Airport was hit by Iranian missiles. A 100% civilian airport.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

guys i don't think killing the octogenarian head of state of a nation of 90 million and half a trillion GDP is sufficient to topple its sprawling military/police state overnight

They’re saying they’ve killed Khamenei? Fucking hell

Literally the moment the attack line went out I was furious, posting the announcement of his ban. He is responsible for the murder of so many Muslim Indians that the US had their hand forced!

I’d love to learn whether it was a series of WhatsApp conversations or they all arrived at the ‘sectarian’ line by aping each other or a Reform email, if they all agreed to pass over who Modi is and what he’s done or if they’re all that thick

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

She’s a plumber that made it into The Guardian’s Glastonbury style highlights back in 2013

The Labour Party now think I am a far-left extremist because I support policies that were in the 2017 and 2019 Labour Party manifestos.

As we plunge headlong into another catastrophic war, Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries’ throat clearing and process critique only serves Trump and the war machine.

Democrats should speak clearly and with one voice: no war.

Show me one thing Matt Goodwin did – just one – that was anywhere as near as “divisive” as that. Spencer is the political equivalent of Ms Rachel, the dungarees-wearing kids’ entertainer who has a side hustle in going completely mental about Israel and its war on Hamas. She’s half hip schoolteacher and half useful idiot of Islamism – the supposedly progressive new MP who secured her place in the Commons by milking the communal anger of men who wish she’d be a bit more demure.

The gall of this worm. O’Neill thinks running an advert in Urdu (& Bengali) showing photos of Starmer and Modhi (& Lammy and Netanyahu) shaking hands is ‘divisive’. @bylinetimes.bsky.social has done excellent investigative work into the gutter racism (and Holocaust denial!) from Goodwin’s campaign.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

If I understand this concept ‘family voting’, it’s usually reactionary, highly conservative men forcing their wives to vote their way. So naturally, I assume if this even happened, they all voted for Goodwin

Matt Goodwin & @GoodwinMJ X.com This is not democracy. This is coercive, sectarian politics dressed up as democracy We are in deep, deep trouble Gorton and Denton impacted by high levels of family voting Proportion of voters either causing or impacted by family voting 2023 Local elections 2023/24 local by-elections 2024 Local elections 4.3% 5.5% 4.7% 2024 Westminster Election Gorton and Denton by-election 3.5% 12.0% Source: Democracy Volunteers attend a sample size of polling stations across elections and observe a sample size of voters. In Gorton and Denton, they observed 32 cases of family voting.

Matt Goodwin’s still pissing and shitting himself for losing the election to Hannah Spencer, blaming his loss on 32 alleged cases of two family members going in a voting booth together.

He and the rest of the political elite have decided on calling the Greens ‘sectarian’. But racism is sectarian.

The most boring, bitter, tasteless, arrogant, ignorant, bigoted, smug, vapid, out-of-touch public school lunatics have climbed to the top of this country’s media apparatus and squatted there, and there is nothing that delights them more than shitting down on the rest of us.
