Centre-left, likes going to gigs, cinema and sports. Spend far too much time obsessing about Bristol Rovers, Miami Dolphins, Manic Street Preachers, Paul Heaton and the future of the planet.

Are you trying to silence someone with a severe disability?

With N-word incident, Bafta have shot themselves in the foot | Catherine Shoard In not editing out Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson’s shouted tics, Bafta have allowed their successful diversity drive to be overshadowed

This is weapons grade performative bollocks by The Guardian.

John Davidson is a remarkable human who has achieved so much despite having a severe form of Tourette’s from birth.

To dismiss his condition as a racist outburst does no one any favours, least of all the Guardian itself.

Yes, and it makes me sad to see someone I admire jump on the Guardian opinion writers bandwagon. As per Jones, Malik, Chakrabortty etc.

Two cheeks of the same arse, Hamas and Likkud. October 7th was a massacre. No fucks given by you.

Iran is committing bigger atrocities right now. No fucks given by you.

Decahedron loves to pass judgement on people he knows absolutely nothing about.

Kinder, gentler politics is it?

No, as far as I’m concerned the Israeli government and Hamas are two cheeks of the same arsehole of intolerance. A plague on both their houses.

Shall we talk about the tens of thousands slaughtered in Iran that no left winger seems to give a toss about?

There is not a single part of your statement that is true I’m afraid. I’ve spent most of my adult life opposing conservatism.

Not everyone to the right of Richard Burgon is a right winger.

Trust me I am anyone but Farage and his band of the absolute worst of the Tories.

This is the point - a spilt left / centre left vote will give it to him on a plate.

The Lib Dems, who the Guardian told me to vote for in 2010, championed the worst austerity in history. Never forgive, never forget.

The Greens are awful. Trust me, I live in Bristol where they run the council.

Any of the 57 varieties of the left are equally unelectable.

Where do I go?

I mentioned it on the comments. Was removed for β€˜violating community standards’. Not as much as the Guardian is actively violating their readership with this anti Labour nonsense daily.

Well that was shite.

As always, Scotland wanted so much more. Plus Arundell is a total cretin for the 2nd yellow.

Winter Olympics 2026: Ukrainian athlete disqualified from skeleton over helmet tribute – live Join our writers for all the action from day six of Milano Cortina 2026, with nine gold medals up for grabs

If, and it’s a big if, Team GB win a medal or two in this event they should wave Ukrainian flags on the podium in solidarity.

Disgrace by the IOC.

So a bloke who did a bunk to become an immigrant in Monaco to avoid paying tax is now using the language of actual fascism to describe immigration.

You gave up your right to speak when you stopped paying taxes, you vile excuse for a human being Ratcliffe.
