the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

still, lock 'em both up obv

posts announcing her defection to the Conservatives

took them 6 months to realise the account was hacked

i wonder what the password was

probably 'harriet4pm'

how dare someone do something so disgraceful to Harriet Harman, who was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange affiliated NCCL until '82, during a period where she campaigned on their behalf to water down child pornography laws. She is such a class act!

Harman / Hewitt were pretty good campaigning solicitors before they went into politics imo, despite the NCCL’s more egregiously 70s libertarian aspects.

At the time, the hacker told the rightwing site Guido Fawkes

ffs

"NCCL’s more egregiously 70s libertarian aspects"

that's one way of putting it!

Life of PIE lol

When come back bring PIE

more like Jonathan PIE amirite?

actually that'd probably be funnier than the one that exists

The Pierate Party!

i occasionally get unsolicited emails from an organisation called professionals in higher education and every time i see their domain name i am moved to wonder why anyone would choose thepienews.com in the 2k18

GETCHER KIDDIE-FIDDLIN' NEWS HERE FOLKS

I think I may have ghostwritten something for Pie News. I see their editor at conferences all the time. Obviously not going on my CV.

in retrospect thepienews' decision to hold their 2018 conference at dolphin square was probably a misjudgment

I will auction off my branded tea towel for the next ILX fundraising drive.

You really learn something new every day as an American reading this thread

i too was unaware that sv had a paedo tea towel

we take our mission to inform seriously

You should see the one I got from the Norwegian Academic Marketing Board Leaders Association.

heh

i'd really rather not tho cheers

don't suppose any ilxors have a "Jim Fixed It For Me" badge?

no, but one sold on ebay in feb for £32.16, so it looks like it's a buyer's market out there (an 'i helped savile save stoke mandeville' badge would have set yo back only £19)

there's a fairly active savile memorabilia market on there, upsettingly enough

there are people who collect nazi stuff so it's hardly a shock

say what u like about the nazis tho, at least they were always impeccably turned out, wouldn't be seen dead in a string vest, pink-tinted john lennon specs and a gold lamé tracksuit

how much did they raise for charity tho?

There seemed to be quite a few Savile truthers out there last time I looked.

Xxpost, a badge sold for two grand at the auction of his estate before the scandal broke. Wonder how the buyer of “The Beast”, feels after paying 130 grand for it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-19043994

savile's a real unusual case in that truthers have to make up explanations for all the shit he got away with which handwave away all the deep-rooted conspiracy rumours which actually turned out to be true

Frank Field Watch update; Frank still active in fighting for justice for the downtrodden and unappreciated:

There is a move afoot to nominate the Queen for a Nobel peace prize in recognition of her “determined diplomacy” in “keeping the Commonwealth alive”. Politicians from across the parties are backing the plan, although it is fair to say that while their loyalties are varied, they are of a certain vintage. They include Lord Howell, a Thatcher-era minister, and Labour’s Frank Field, who has been an MP since 1979.

blah blah Kissinger blah blah Zimbabwe blah blah turn up and wave blah blah head on a stick blah blah undead undead undead

Labour's Frank Field who has been an MP since 1979 and dead since 1971.

My mum still has a booklet from the 70's with Jimmy Savile on it, he was fronting a promotion to encourage more mothers to become registered childminders. Probably should get that fucker on e-bay.

Guess which Foreign Secretary couldn't wait to congratulate Nazi Orban on Twitter even after the OSCE report dropped.

Quality trolling from Momentum.

Red Gandalf's banner is a bit troubling tbh. Momentum don't seem to be doing much to root out the scourge of Neo-Lennonism amongst their membership.

This type of appalling treatment of people epitomises the vindictive nature of Theresa May's horrible policies as Home sec and PM. I would seriously celebrate if an icicle of piss skewered her brain.

Of course, having put him through two years of expense and uncertainty, telling him he was going to be deported and costing him his job, the Home Office managed to work out that he does have the right to stay within an hour of the story blowing up in the press.

Because it's 20 years since the Good Friday agreement the Today programme have Tony Blair on, and now he's actually sabre-rattling over Syria, cannot believe what I'm hearing although I totally can believe it, nothing is ever learned it seems.

TBF I have absolutely no idea what should happen wrt Syria now and I don't believe that 99% of people on this board do either, but Blair is the last person I'd go to for advice.

Fred is the 1%

xp yep, exactly.

Neo-Lennonism still up here in Edinburgh
