It must be because Irish citizens have no history of sectarian voting

Yeah, having now slept on it properly, it is weird that no losing parties statement really reckons with why people might have chosen the Greens and instead they all chose to blame sectarianism. It does suggest that they still don't really recognise people who vote Green as, you know, real people.

Ah, but that's how deep this Islamic infiltration goes. People may *think* they're white liberals but secretly, secret even to them, they've been Greatly Replaced in their own head, in their very souls, by a deeply conservative Muslim. Makes you think, eh?

Very clear that for Starmer, 'sectarian voting' is when British Muslims don't vote Labour, and for many others, it is just when British Muslims vote.

Deep down they think that *women* can't be working class, because work is for men and women in the workplace is woke DEI nonsense, therefore lanyard class, *especially* when they're taking a real man's job like plumber

It’s amazing how people can be spiritually Lanyard Class regardless of their actual job, income, or background, isn’t it?

28.02.2026 12:47 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 0

Oh yes. It's so neat that the politics of the lanyard class must be opposed because they don't represent "real" people, and any real people holding the politics of the lanyard class cease to become real by definition.

Hannah Spencer’s first day in the House of Commons is on Monday morning but, as a plumber, she’ll most likely turn up some time on Tuesday afternoon.

Caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
Even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
Even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
Saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)

you would think that Reform would be celebrating that a white local working-class tradesperson has beaten an elite, out-of-touch academic who was parachuted in to the constituency

A Labour leadership with both says "you must listen to these voters who don't share your values and take them seriously" and "you must NOT listen to *these* votes who *do* share your values - their preferred party should be dismissed as extremist" is headed for electoral disaster, and deservedly so.

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?

Happy 30th birthday to PokΓ©mon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.

It shows a bell curve with a "stupid" person at one end stating a simple opinion/ solution, a "mitwit" at the peak of the bell curve offering a complex solution and a "smart" person at the tail offering the same opinion as the "stupid" person

This! It's the 2nd reason I hate the midwit meme (the first is that it was explicitly far right in origin and intention)

A ballock dagger handle, missing the tang-attached blade. 

For those who want to complain about the spelling we use, both this and the one you use are correct, but spelling it with an 'a' avoids issues with filters...

Victorian antiquarians called this type of dagger, of which 65 were found on the Mary Rose, a 'kidney dagger', as the lobes on the handle apparently resemble a pair of kidneys.

The Tudors called it a ballock dagger, after a different body part, but we don’t see it ourselves...
