PT = Peter Tatchell?

yes
there are reasons i haven't paid attention to the org for years, it seems to have changed for the better & i understand that the current attack is about more than just the org
i am uncomfortable having to certain things for strategic reasons but it's where we are at now

I can't remember if you can blame these cringe wankers for the rise of face-paint, jester hats and Roger Nouveau type wankers like Kieth re-inventing themselves as lifelong Gooners. But fuck it - I will.

I was living in London in '96 during this.. this special cultural moment of national unity when a load of pissed up/coked up thugs (who thought England were entitled to win all games/all competitions) trashed all the shops around Trafalgar Square and even when I'd got back home to Plumstead they were throwing pint glasses about and bricking cars and house windows!

oh yeah tatchell is fucking terrible for all sorts of reasons & the guardian quoting someone as controversial as him as their 'pro-trans' voice in that article is no doubt a deliberate move

Calzino, I was living in Woolwich and watching Euro 96 -- we were only a couple of miles apart!
― the pinefox, Monday, 7 June 2021 21:09 (three years ago) link
I moved from Conway road, Plumstead to Woolwich to .. I can't remember the road name but it was across the road from some blocks of flats and around the corner from Blockbusters and Safeways. We may have even walked past each other. I wasn't watching Euro '96, as a plastic paddy republican 4 life. I'd just done an evening shift at Camden rd Sainsburies that night and saw all the broken glass and mayhem from a bus.
― calzino, Monday, 7 June 2021 21:18 (three years ago) link
Blockbusters in Woolwich was right on General Gordon Square, the main square with the old Woolwich building and next to Woolwich Arsenal station - wasn't it?
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 05:47 (three years ago) link
yep, but when I do streetview it all looks different now and I think where I lived was definitely Anglesea Rd. I recognise the blocks of flats that were across the road but the Victorian terrace row I lived in has been demolished and some dreary looking redbrick houses must have put up late 90's/early 00's.

uncritical support for Kieth is "mainstream" now?
― calzino, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 11:36 (three years ago) link
his current approval rating seems to suggest otherwise.

Appalling headlines.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 11:58 (three years ago) link
it reminds me of how negative coverage of Bernie in the US would often cite "Mainstream Democrats" rather than refer to them as the right-wing of the party.

I feel a bit bad because this guy only has around as many followers as me, he doesn't seem to be a huge public figure, but if there's a way to wind me up in a single tweet... oof.

I love that he has put up this tweet, got one approving comment, then continued with his day, unaware that an entire message board is talking about how much they hate him.

his favourite film
Hot Fuzz is my favorite movie. And horror is my favorite genre. And Anya Taylor-Joy the most exciting young actress working today. You can count me in for @lastnightinsoho, @edgarwright - this seems ridiculously promising!— Sebastian Halm (@SebastianHalm) May 27, 2021
