Rory Stewart has, this week, insisted that the views of a prominent working class economist must be questioned due to inherent class bias, while insisting that the blatant antisemitism and racism of Frog baws Farage must be ignored because…..🤷‍♂️

Rory Stewart is a wee dick.

The more strenuous the denials the likelier the action (when you're dealing with sociopathic lying fucks).

Because your phone is listening to you.

And some people embrace a feeling of inferiority to their "social betters", because they are profoundly disturbed, or at best, kinky...

I think some Reform voters do care, but probably not enough. I think being bolder on some of the messaging about the real economic policies of Reform would be great. "Reform: by the Rich, for the Rich". "Reform will make you poorer". "Did you go to Dulwich College? He thinks you're a peasant"

It's Rilke's 150th birthday, which coincides with publication of my translations of his complete New Poems - getting on for 200 of them. Out from Baylor University Press now. Here I am reading his poem about a dog.

I see we've reached the "I hate disabled people" part of the budget.

I think Musk should be encouraged to think he could fight as many people who would knock the shit out of him as possible.

every time someone goes on the Beeb, no matter what topic they’re there to talk about, they should add, ‘oh, and Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history’

They are a startling pure form of evil capitalist greed. Genuine Ryan Air strap-line: "fuck you, pay me"

They already are.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

Isn't the guy who wrote this the one with the massive head that you're not supposed to mention?

I still remember the thrill when I made the computer tell me stuff like this.

I don't think I've been happy since 1987.

What a lovely idea.

Great choice to show that Parliament is for everyone, and not at all strangled by the English class system. 😑

No wonder he's tired: look at the state of the fat fucker.

Yes.

Big fan of helping the Hinduja family, though, the bent bastard.

And I mean, maybe it's even true, in the short-term.

June 2016 here. Do you notice how this has been proven correct: there really is no way to appease the reactionary right, who take every concession to their fucknut demands as a new base camp to strike out for more and nastier?
