Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

Seems like historians really don't like Jezward Croybun, especially shit TV ones.

Which other community’s concerns are disposable in this way? Who would be next?

Rich fuckers

lol I can't believe such a uber-Tory hardcore brexiter and ex-MI6 spook isn't a raving Corbynista!

I don't know what historian David Edgerton thinks of Corbyn but he fucking loathes Blairism.

Can’t believe someone with anti Irish views doesn’t like Corbyn

james balls must be raging he wasn’t asked

sad to see the young star of spiderman in such grisly company

what do you mean - with his awful fucking dad? :p

big fan of "moderate rebels" in syria iirc

mix of posh bastards, luvvies, landed gentry all cunts shocker. Beevor is such a mediocre historian his Barbarossa book makes the most dramatic war of annihilation in history into a boring trudge along many well worn paths, fuck him.

lmao look at these dregs

when you care deeply about racism

Have always thoughts having Richard I & Oliver Cromwell outside Parliament is like a big F**k you to ISIS & the IRA https://t.co/DWDwchJ6E3

fuck that little shit and his awful dad!

it's as pointless as getting a list of unreconstructed tankies signing a letter saying they can't vote for the conservatives under this current leadership for goodness sake!

for a sec I was getting him mixed up with proper actor (whose also probs a crypto-tory melt but never mind) Tom Hollander.

PMSL at the signatories to that 'public figures' Labour AS letter. Labour have lost such progressive luminaries as *checks notes* headbanging Brexiteer Tory Frederick Forsyth, professional reactionary Trevor Phillips, twitter loon Oz Katerji and Sun columnist Tony Parsons

lol i just worked out who the "awful dad" is and now i'm sad rory mcgrath wasn't asked to sign the letter to give it some red-faced heft

anyway it's tom holland the historian i think, and not tom holland the son of dom holland (this was the burden of my micro-joke anyway)

I used to knock about with spidey's dad's cousin! lol talk about a claim to fame. once he said check out my cous on Hignfy tonite - back in the 90's. Never heard Tom Holland historian - so obv he's not worth shit!

yeah its tom holland the melt historian who was also a love bomber of scotland during the indyref. bede-bothering cunt

Whoever any of them are, you can bet none of them actually give a flying fuck about anti-Semitism.

seriously, all the goys on that list can go fuck themselves

beatrice bass is TBEU

This interaction where a Lib Dem candidate asks a potential voter to research Brighton knife crime stats FOR her, despite having tweeted about them being a 'huge problem', is incredible: pic.twitter.com/8XY7KwA6mG

Holland is a "popular" historian iirc which is barely code for "not much of a historian"

Jesus that list has wrecked a fair bit of my TV documentary viewing tho

xp she is honestly pure cringe, this and the skiing thing ffs

This week Lib Dem candidate Sam Gyimah claimed that Labour MP Emma Dent Coad was partly responsible for the Grenfell tragedy - here, she debunks his allegation and calls on him to apologise for the smear. https://t.co/kuPNDc4YVc

And here’s a really nice piece about Faiza Shaheen, the PPC for Chingford and Woodford Green

for @i_D I met @faizashaheen - the young, working-class Muslim woman running to unseat Tory grandee Iain Duncan Smith. Win or lose, she's one of the UK's most exciting (and smartest) new political voices - but I think she's gonna do it!! https://t.co/idIjXn5KTk

pissed off that Jimmy Wales has been so anti-Corbs for a guy who set up a website that lets anyone misinform anyone else (that unfortunately I'm still p much addicted to)

NEW: Labour are going to commit to free broadband for every household, by nationalising BT. I understand it will be full fibre broadband, which the vast majority of households don’t have.

locking up the gamer vote, very smart

Jesus Christ, Toryboy weirdo on QT... again.

lol

Why should I pay for my broadband through my taxes? It makes no sense

— John Rentoul (@JohnRentoul) November 14, 2019

why should we have to fear that your fangs will stealthily enter our necks once the sun has set

— Nate Bethea (@inthesedeserts) November 14, 2019

irl lol

Cleverly looking hangdog AF on QT.

Imaginative, bold, modern, common sense. Broadband is a 21st century basic good, it’s crap and expensive thanks to a privatised industry, it needs to change. This is how it can be done. https://t.co/xvLHiCUN2M

The number of mad reactionaries, professional hatemongers and government-funded 'anti-extremists' signing the letter, the Freeland affair, the targeting of prospective Muslim parliamentary candidates by right-wing blogs and Sensible Commentators alike, Lib Dems sending out letters to Faiza Shaheen and others asking them to reject both antisemitism they have never been accused of and Muslim associations they have never been associated with, the Hamas / Islamic Jihad smears against Corbyn being applauded, etc, etc, etc are making it ever clearer what's driving this line of attack for a lot of people isn't that they think Corbyn is personally antisemitic, it's that they think he's in the pocket of Big Muslim. Labour has been infiltrated by a shadowy cabal intent on bending the party to its will, and so on.

Yep.

I’m glad this classic is getting another airing.

Because making the least well-off working people pay for your home broadband from their taxes is clearly a national priority Richard? #checkyourprivilege https://t.co/8k0z3p2HqG

YES ED GO OFF

We’ve all been there: ‘oh no how do we respond to this?...blah blah, competition, growth, undesirable...gigabit’...oh dear. https://t.co/7f9zFDn8hZ

— Ed Miliband (@Ed_Miliband) November 14, 2019

The nub of the Tory problem is that they know that people have had it with rubbish, unaccountable privatised oligopolies/monopolies but they have no answer...that is what is going to cause them real trouble around the response to this policy.

Home internet is unusual but free, high-speed public wifi is the kind of thing that hypercapitalist countries like S.Korea provide because they know it fuels education, productivity and competitiveness. Free internet, and the ability to make a digital marketplace open to all consumers, digital learning open to all children and a home-office available without cost to all workers / entrepreneurs is the kind of thing consistent both with leftist politics and centre/right-wing politicians with any kind of vision beyond shoring up the profits of existing gatekeepers.

british andrew yang when haha

South Korea has free public broadband, although it’s a chicken/egg question about their high placement as a tech-focussed nation.

How many UK households do not have broadband right now? It can't be a whole lot, surely.

Free hi-speed public wifi seems way more pressing, emancipating and communist. It might indeed be something this idea has in common with hyper-capitalism - recognizing the need for it, anyway. Wifi rarely works (as promised, or at all) in UK buses and trains though. Fix that and you're solid imo.

Supposedly 10%, mostly in rural areas

Broadband is often very bad, even in towns and cities, even if if is technically available.

uncanny so far...

The election was difficult to justify. The Prime Minister, recently installed in office, turned out to be a poor candidate who struggled on the campaign trail. The campaign went on too long, week-after-week in which Labour chipped away at what had at the start seemed an unassailable poll lead. The Conservative manifesto proved unpopular. With an unprepared campaign organisation, the Conservatives lost the ground war to Labour’s energised mass membership. The Labour leader turned out to be more effective than many of his critics had expected and Labour’s manifesto went down well with voters. The attempt to crystallise the need for a Conservative government into a punchy slogan attracted ridicule. The electoral strategy of sweeping through English Midlands and Northern Leave-voting constituencies failed, and the party ended the election losing seats.

What exactly is their line on this? May got ridiculed for STRONG AND STABLE but at least you knew what they were saying about themselves...

Also the complaint last time was that the campaign went on too long, but they can thank the Lib Dems for that lol
