British Right-Wing Pundits

If you don't think Noske will advance the class struggle you're possibly not understanding social democracy correctly from a Marxist viewpoint

Was Douglas Murray complaining about the forthcoming Holocaust memorial covered anywhere? Not that I’ve seen, so here’s Portes:

The Holocaust Memorial should be opposed, because it might not endorse the @DouglasKMurray /Enoch Powell view that postwar nonwhite migration was a historic mistake, Murray argues.. pic.twitter.com/Wi6vuAi6lO

Holocaust memorial should be more celebratory claims nazi academic

headline if we had any good tabloids

I wonder if he touches on the cultural effects of British colonization in other countries?

so people of the far-right like Murray do admit that Great Britain barely lifted a finger to help European Jewry in the 30's. I often hear centre-right UK politicians of both main parties waxing lyrical about the UK's long history of being a haven for persecuted minorities and then following up with reasons why it shouldn't be!

So Katie Hopkins has joined UKIP...

I'm guessing UKIP only exists for the direct debits now.

is there anyone else left in the party?

Neil Hamilton is still one of their verified big beasts!

He's leader apparently!

just had an IRL LOL at the timeline of UKIP leaders from Wikipedia

it's easier to keeping up with the Watford FC managers in recent times. I only noticed about 3 of these - of course Dick Braine was a quite a memorable leader!

there is a call here for Jeffrey Titford... is there a Jeffrey Titford

didn't realise Paulo Wanchope had had a go

Now that's the kind of immigrant they like

does ukip stand for anything the tories don't these days

Despise this woman, honestly.

You can see the outline of how these people will reconcile us to the disastrous performance of a government they themselves played an indispensable role in electing here, and as you’d expect, it contains hints of the roaring Mail Rule Britannia take and FBPE diversity humping. pic.twitter.com/oGRrH47Wr7

In 2019 'MPs lost all sense of perspective', writes Raf, before going on to suggest that Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn gave him a heart attack. https://t.co/XLa2Z7yRRR

Yep, another great weekend for content

I thrived on the tension and drama of British politics

i want to suggest that Raf deserves multiple heart attacks, preferably fatal

i suggest we simply deserve much better than these narcissists

Here's my latest article. It was a very difficult, painful piece to write. I poured my heart into it.

I'd like to think we can draw a line under the issue now and embrace the things that unite us, but sadly the wretched Corbynista vermin won't do that because they are sub-human. pic.twitter.com/HWkA3Nkvln

Daniela Nardini.

xp no this is the real Sarah Oxford-Laughdugry account

Trevor Bastard Extended Universe character, Simon Hedges et al

It's Anna Chancellor

Looks good whoever that is

would def consider this thread to be 'on main'

i got the joke, was just wondering if anna chancellor has some previous that led to her being picked for this role

please understand i get jokes

As someone who can nap any time and any place, and once napped bolt upright during an especially dull one-to-one lunch with a party leader, I am disappointed that Downing St has issued a categorical denial that the PM takes afternoon naps. Much of my best work is in the...

btw anybody who makes an outraged tweet because J Clarkson has had an outrageous opinion for money is, at the very least, a dick

lol yes, the correct way to use the bill grundy show with sex pistols approach: "oh very good say something else outrageous"

Now follow this: "Biden's great, great, great grandfather, Edward Blewitt, left Ballina, co Mayo, Ireland for America during the Irish famine 170 years ago, which could mean he is well disposed towards Great Britain". Christopher Hope in Britain's Daily Telegraph.

Sarcasm?

one thing I'm sure about is that type of third generation Irish identity genealogy you get in the US sucks absolute arse

gropy Joe to the bbc correspondent "hey I'm Irish!" that was fucking embarrassing

it's like people who claim a working class identity cos their great-granddad went down on a miner once

Funny how they're far less likely "Hey, I'm German!" even though there's more with German ancestry than Irish.

I think you need to view that clip in the context of it resurfacing, which was that it boiled the piss of people like your Tom McTagues and therefore we can be a bit more lenient on old Joe on this point.

Ireland is extremely good at promoting itself and its agenda. It costs money but can achieve a lot. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Brexit backstop debate, for eg, London totally lost the PR battle to Dublin. In part because of this kind of thing👇https://t.co/vAG5WD7jZ7

me, normally: the thing about being Irish and being proud of it is that you have to take into context the history of the place and the revisionist promotion of it as an inherently progressive place when the politics are still really reactionary in terms of the parties we elect and -

Tom McTague: literally anything he posts about Ireland

me: YEAH LAD OLD JOE ISN’T GOING TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE UNION, SUCK IT

Funny how they're far less likely "Hey, I'm German!" even though there's more with German ancestry than Irish.

Don't worry, they'll do it with absolutely any European ancestry whatsoever.

"I'm Dutch, my parents can trace their ancestry back to Pennsylvania."

"I don't have a driver's license, but I love cars, because I'm Sicilian."

They do, but undoubtedly some ancestries are prized above others.

Yes, it is generally more a) spurious and b) profoundly-felt re Irishness.

In later life my dad went full shamrockbegorrahjaysus although his ancestors were CoI/Methodist on his dad’s side and fully Huguenot on his mum’s.
