he was completely socially isolated and shunned. this is where the verb 'to boycott' comes from. it had a massive ripple effect throughout what we call the UK and served as a social deterrent to antisocial behaviour. find out was introduced to fuck around. (3/3)

the lord didn't relent, and charles boycott, as his agent, started evicting people from their homes. as a result, the entire town turned against him - his workers didn't work, he wasn't served in public houses, his mail wasn't delivered, his house wasn't cleaned. (2/3)

the word "boycott" goes back to captain charles boycott, an english land agent for the absentee landlord john crichton in late 19th century ireland. after a particularly bad harvest, the irish tenant farmers couldn't pay the rent and petitioned crichton for a 25% decrease for that year. (1/3)

but that is obviously the case. I don't like farage either but he is correct there.

eh, i don't know about this one. that article reads like the author really liked a movie and wanted to write about it so he wrestled a political analogy out if it to make it guardian-able.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

he is a fascist who by rights ought to be hanging from the lamp poles but tell me - who is a more effective politician in the UK right now. scary fucking times.

i have to respect farage - he saw the tories, thought "that is good but it would be better if i owned it" and created the economic conditions through brexit that would help his far-right populism surge, FOUNDED HIS OWN COMPANY and is now collecting tories like pokemon.

just post the apology when it happens we're done here

"There aren't gonna be elections"

that's you. that's what people react to.

"My whole point here is that people should be organising to prepare for the worst"

no, that seems to be what you pivoted to after you got backlash. i don't believe you set out to say that.

26.01.2026 16:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

oh yeah why would people have strong emotions about your posts, it's only about democracy after all.

looking forward to your apology.

i genuinely am looking forward to all of you apologizing and admitting you were wrong during the next election. i'm sure you'll all be upstanding enough to openly admit you were wrong, yeah?

both streeting and mahmood are straight up tories and both of them have way more ambition than starmer. i think both might be worse, but the whole project needs binning.

"..., like don't abandon your job two years in"

he's been mayor since 2017. that's close to nine years. funny how starmerites are even at war with arithmetic at this point.
