I hope RATM play this at Trump’s funeral

Goodwin by name, Badlose by nature

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

is that the distant, ghostly voice of Ramsay MacDonald I can hear yelping with delight?

Yup. But they are definitely choosing the first. In many respects, they're trying to unwind social changes that have been underway for 60 years. That can't be done quickly - and culture doesn't move entirely top down like that anyway.

Thoughts and prayers for Matt Badlose today

Can’t imagine Trump and pals losing much sleep over it either

Three momentous things happened to me within a few weeks that early summer: The coalition government, my first iPhone, then the birth of my first child. Debateable which was more life-changing. My daughter is about to sit her GCSEs, although I think her smartphone may drag the results down a bit

Seeing the radical right in this country cosplay Christianity, just because that's the playbook that worked in the US, tells us that they really don't understand Britain at all

Yes, I always thought that lot were against that sort of thing. Mind you, could be interesting getting a job with the Regulator.

Mad to think he left the party not that long ago because it was full of racists. The money must be really good.

Is this deranged because it’s 2:30am on Sunday, or because Trump is like this all the time?

Bottom feeders

I suppose it is a kind of genius? I can’t take it seriously though. Is this how we lose? It has strong “Death of Consensus” vibes.

Mate this is head spinning stuff. Absolutely “hatstand”, as they used to say in Viz magazine. Now that was proper Britain. La Grande-Bretagne profonde.

I’ll take it

“The establishment”

He’s fucking pathetic

Americans were intimately involved. It’s like a 21st Century Lord Haw-Haw based here and paid for by Septics

As a word, stupendous is quite similarly to stupid.

It’s a mad video. I find it quite unpleasant, but that’s because I’m holding on to the future.

INDEPENDENT Playgrounds would become 'crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

The thing about politicians is: if you vote them into government it only encourages them

I think a lot of it is because they are increasingly resentful that so many white collar punters are just over it

DOOM really needs to be on the English A Level curriculum:

Catch a throatful
From the fire vocal
With ash and molten glass like Eyjafjallajökull
The volcano out of Iceland
He'll conquer and destroy the rap world Like the white man

On the nail, as usual. But on an even more important topic than usual.

Perhaps we should all be banned from social media Focusing only on under-16s obscures the lack of internet safeguards for everyone else

My column in today's paper: on banning the under-16s from social media, the trade-offs and assumptions that the ban makes:

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

There was a pretty concerted anti-vax campaign around the poorer parts of the borough a few years ago… homemade A4 printouts dense with superficially convincing bullshit glued fast onto bus shelters all over the place. Some of them are still there as they’re so hard to remove.

I can imagine there are a lot of people behaving in the way you describe though ☺️

you must be seeing a different part of this site to me
