DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived post-Murdoch era

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to caught behind.

dunno who's gonna start the norman tebbit sci-fi thread but it's a promising avenue

Davros joke

Dan Dire, Pilot of the Future?

Pilot of the Past, amirite?

Pilot of getting out of going to the Maggon's funeral by going to a different funeral.

Ice-cold of Kinnock to have his best friend murdered just so he could get out of Thatcher's funeral. But understandable.

^ talking about insemination?

It's like one of my colleagues said: we've got to make these same sex marriages available to all. It would lift my worries about inheritance tax because maybe I'd be allowed to marry my son. Why not? Why shouldn't a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn't two elderly sisters living together marry each other?"

Erm....

no you don't understand, he's equating the freakish unnaturalness of gay to incest or any other crime against nature

Well, if Jimmy Savile was alive, he'd be voting for it...

^ he was lobbying for it back then

"What if I marry my dead mother to avoid inheritance tax?"
"Sounds good to me, Norman!"

Clegg says this is a government of the centre ground. Is he dishonest or stupid?

a little from column a, a little from column b.

If he means the centre ground of a SINKHOLE...

Continuation of the process of everything being skewed further to the right all the time through a combination of constant Tory pulling and the weak left perpetually crumbling. The centre's not in the same place as it was twenty years ago.

In one foul swoop, Cultural Marxists, who have been working behind the scenes for decades in Britain, have broken both marriage and the Conservative party, once the greatest of British institutions.

cultural marxists!!!

"In one foul swoop"

Engels was a bit of a homophobe, dunno about Marx tbh

"In one foul swoop"

listen, britain is so broken that english idioms don't even work any more, they have been murdered by marxists like all great traditions

this guy's just some local councillor, explains the bare literacy tbf

in a shocking turn of events the "cultural marxists" meme turns out to be anti-semitic in origin (acc. Dan Trilling here)

As I recall, Anders Breivik had a bee in his bonnet about Cultural Marxists too. Stay classy, Spectator.

The way things are going, we surely can't be that far from a stalking horse or full-on John Redwood-style leadership challenge? Even if it doesn't succeed it would probably be suicidal on the Tories' part given that pretty much the only thing going for them is that more people consider Cameron to be a Prime Ministerial figure than Miliband, but then again Cam is looking increasingly lame duck as it is.

Cultural Marxists and Lesbian Queens sounds like some latter day young tories Tarts and Vicars fancy dress party,

Possibly useful in the coming weeks & months:

What, no http://www.isedmilibandstillcrap.com?

Ed, the young Tories are still doing Jeremy Kyle parties as far as I'm aware.

Tend to leave the 'plantation owners and slaves' shindigs to Ukip these days.

I used to walk past there going to work.

Was going to say this is probably not the thread for it but it looks like the victim might have been a serving soldier, which means the spurious bullshit around this story is going to off the scale.

oops xp

@BOYADEE

Mate ive seen alot of shit im my time but that has to rank sumwhere in the top 3.

You'd think/hope a (possible) decapitation and double shooting would be in your top 1, fucking miles ahead of #2.

That twitter TL is quite something, indeed

Remind me not to hang about with that Boyadee character (xp)

According to Nick Robinson, "Attack was "filmed" by the attackers, and was almost certainly carried out by Islamic terrorists."

"almost certainly" = just enough wiggle room to allow you to say all kinds of shit with no clear facts

(we should maybe have a rolling UK news thread)

Indeed

THE members of the Conservative Association in Cheltenham, a lovely Regency town in south-west England, are a mild-mannered lot. But at a recent meeting, voices were raised against “buggery”, “the Spartans” and the coalition government’s effort to legalise gay marriage, which passed the House of Commons on May 21st. Some suspected the European Union was behind this. None liked it. “I had a word with the vicar,” said an 87-year-old member. “He agreed that it’s just not on!”

what don't they like about the spartans?
