love* in the time of plague (and by love* i mean brexit* and other dreary matters of uk politics)

S-tier karma

great to have such a resoundingly Normal Bloke™️ as LOTO though!

he looks like a cursed face in a slice of bacon, just hideous.

like David Hameron he should be popular with the gammons then

finally, we have a real opposition - one led by someone with a stuffed-up nose who Likes A Pint

probably a pint of Carlsberg the melt cunt

The frontbencher leaking to the Telegraph is fascinating.

One added: “Rebecca was just anti working with anyone. She wasn’t open to working with the Tories, she took the path of least resistance, which is that anything the Government says is bad.

“The unions were just an easy way for her to have a pop at the Government. We got boxed in because she just wasn’t thinking where the issue was going.”

“Come September the pendulum is going to swing straight back to education, with the country looking to its leaders.

“It will be a crucial test of this country’s leadership as to whether we can get kids back at school.”

This sounds like something you’d say if you were in a coalition.

or if you were a Tory cunt

Starmer reminds of this guy we once caught pouring lager down a sink at a house party, whilst trying make it look like he was supping loads. hey I'm a right laddo me, bloody loves the carling black label!

I caught a bit of the AQ repeat earlier. There was some absolutely pathetic "I don't want to politicise this Jenrick situation" soft-soaping from Burnham. These fucking people!

that frontbencher’s name? one k. starmer

“not open to working with the Tories” wow what a damning revelation

This sounds like something you’d say if you were in a coalition.

Centrists prize civility because they think opposition parties are wings of the government

Centrists may have a point.

KS always makes me think of that Tunes ad where the guy with the cold asks for a second class return to Dottingham

MC TUNES - THE RESULTS

Ed Bilibad 🤝 Keir Tarber

The only rhyme that melts

Love Tim's Beatnik post - he deserves more credit for that.

It's true about the KS / LK video above. Dire.

I remarked to a friend today: It's really odd that KS is so fat.

Many of us are overweight. Certainly me included. I'm not getting at normal fat people. Maybe I am one.

But KS's whole schtick is Image, Professionalism, etc. Being so fat doesn't suit his schtick. Yet no one ever points it out.

lol

Lockdown lard I assume?

If I had to stick money on it I'd say the leaky frontbencher is Jonathan Ashworth. Proven factional player, married to someone in the Labour report, blabs to everyone, also Shadow Home Secretary so keen to get involved in a pandemic.

also a pig thick Tory cunt

Rachel Reeves, surely?

Ashworth is separated from Emilie Oldknow now, Mark your cards accordingly.

that Ashworth guy is such a repugnant slimeball. I hated him when was in the Corbyn cabinet as well, he's deffo a leaky bastard.

Hardly, the lad’s an absolute madman for the pints. Loves a pint does our Keir

good stuff

The UK government’s plan to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in a satellite broadband company has been described as “nonsensical” by experts, who say the company doesn’t even make the right type of satellite the country needs after Brexit.

The investment in OneWeb, first reported on Thursday night, is intended to mitigate against the UK losing access to the EU’s Galileo satellite navigation system.

But OneWeb – in which the UK will own a 20% stake following the investment – currently operates a completely different type of satellite network from that typically used to run such navigation systems.

“The fundamental starting point is, yes, we’ve bought the wrong satellites,” said Dr Bleddyn Bowen, a space policy expert at the University of Leicester.

lol britain

so which tory donor and / or family member of a cabinet minister owns oneweb then

Starmzy, in the bloomin' old pub again eh?

Greeting his pals with a hearty “You alright matey”

labour is awful but don’t get me started on the metropolitan police. remember when our socialist hero was promising to increase their numbers & funding?

to quote my good friend Nairn: I probably get through more alcohol in a week than that bastard does in a year!

no one:

left: don’t get me started on the metropolitan police

is there ever a bad time

the compromises and flaws of Corbynism were what they were, but in comparison to Starmerism it was golden.

would have been nice if mr lifelong antiracist and most of the british left hadn’t been demanding more cops for years, I see the troop bollocks as a continuation of that tendency

if there’s one thing i love about your posts it’s how free of seeing generalisations they are, otherwise they would of course be completely worthless

sweeping, not seeing, obv

some generalisations are true, like the met being violent racist scum, or labour being shite

The Tories probably have quite a lot to gain from Labour getting into a pointless and distracting fight with teachers unions over the late summer, and if I were Dominic Cummings I would be focused on making sure friendly newspapers were ramping up the "necessity" of doing so.

Everyone should want schools to open in September if it's safe, and if isn't safe by then reopening then will be unpopular, and the public will be raging with the government whatever. So a lot of the public will agree with the teachers in any case and so will Labour if they're smart. Framing it as "Labour in the pocket of The Blob" isn't really going to play. Also it only takes one photogenic teacher to die of the rona and the government has a massive media scandal on its hands.

left, since you started posting you have provided these boards with not one single shred of insight, intelligence, warmth, compassion or humour

i don’t say this lightly: please fuck off

*gumph*

xp otm

I’m whatever about the rest but I have tried with the compassion part, there just aren’t enough shared interests it seems

I stand by all my posts, they’re good, regardless of how unsuccessful they have been as interventions

interventions

i mean that is rich coming from the guy who started the 'left-wing brainworms' intervention (a weak moment, i protest!) but

they’re good posts brent

(they’re not good posts)

i mean you are not going to find a non-crank webforum any more sympathetic to anti-imperialist hard-leftism, what are you trying to intervene amongst
