The grift must go on.
I read that in the style and manner of smashie and nicy... A large cognac and Jazz club is in play 😯
murder - murder - murder, they're such big fans of murder. If only Trump would f**k off up the model village...
Nazis of a feather?
I want to write a maths book, not because I'm any kind of mathematician, I absolutely am not, but I think my summary of set intersections and unions has the common touch: (Reform Voters) ∩ (People Farage cares about ) = 0 (Reform Voters) ⊃ (People worse off if Reform gain power)
It does appear to be on the cards, although it will likely fizzle when the mango Mussolini chows down on one too many cheeseburgers.
Piers Morgan: Free speech is the bedrock off democracy, blah, blah. 5 ... minutes ... later: you shouldn't say that Trump is like Hitler. Ok, I need a new definition of free speech.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH. Phew, that feels better.
When are we going go learn what our govt. gave up for the MS / NVIDIA investment? As the AI bubble begins to burst, what exactly will we be left with? My money is on some rent seeking mechanism that benefits the country not at all.
No I don't, do enlighten me with your drooling rhetoric!!
You country bumkin!!
McSweeney (probably): Mandy, I know you helped me stitch up Corbyn, but the public are miffed that you were appointed at all, having been sacked twice, but palling around with a convicted pedo is too much. Not the actual palling around, but someone might dig and find out what a piece of shit I am
Why is the UK always late to the game? Going big on AI despite the hissing noise as the air escapes from that particular baloon. Starmer, you are being conned, it's obvious you are being conned, and you should know snakeoil when you see it.
Not exactly a hardship, but, thank you for your sacrifice ;-)
Now that made me spit out my beer. Hey, it's gone 4pm here. STOP JUDGING ME.
One of the dolls probably has the semblance of JD Vance!!
Case(s) in point ... C is unsafe but I ship MBs of unaudited js from a repository that's suffered multiple supply chain attacks this year. C is unsafe but I don't know what a sanitizer is and WTF is the shadow stack? Rust is safe because I don't use unsafe. OK, but the crates you use do!!
Ket addled fool that he is!
So much virtue signalling today, I'm happy to say that I don't want to live in a violent society but I'm not sad that Charlie Kirk is dead. Populists do not hold the issues they opine on to heart, they crave attention from the roiling mass of discontent they feed and amplify.
Streeting considering PFI? Is there no end to the incompetence of this Labour government? They are a tomororw government, every calamitous policy implication is a tomorrow problem, they need the sound byte today.
Why apologize, he just took all the credibility his statement had garnered and spaffed it up the wall. He was 'Jack Dunn, fired by MSNBC for stating facts' and is now 'Jack Dunn, obsequious coward fired from MSNBC for some reason'.
How big a piece of shit do you have to be until your death is not greeted with solemn silence and condolences?
I think someone shooting someone else in any context can be classified as NOT GOOD. Even wearing green, it's still NOT GOOD. But I have a sinking feeling that this is going to get worse...
So what violence does have a place in your country?
'In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.' -- Gavin Newsom Tripped over your own feet there chum, I think you mean 'any violence', or do you think the political class are something special, as oppossed to the bottom dwellers of society?
Replace Farage with Johnson, and realize that this is Starmer's position on Brexit. So much hope, so much need, and who is in number 10, an adenoidal wally with the political acumen of belly button fluff. Come on Burnham, Corbyn this dud before number 10 is redecorated in dulux nicotine matt.
Imagine that Farage is the next PM, it is, of course a disaster, but the UK is no longer a signatory to the ECHR. Imagine his successor, coming to power on the back of fixing the mess Farage made, and makes the statement 'Britain will not rejoing the ECHR in my lifetime.'
I see the deckchairs on the titanic have been rearranged. It must stick in McSweeney's craw that having successfully sabotaged Corbyn, Starmer will never achieve the same popularity and will be listed as an honourable mention in the 'worst PM in history' competition.
When I worked at Caffeine Terry Crews visited our office -- he used to stream on the platform --, he asked me how I was doing and i said. "Terry, my shit's all emotional right now" He had the good grace to laugh!! Great movie, didn't realize it was a premonition...
"Ex-Tory minister Nadine Dorries defects to Reform UK" Isn't this just a member of the electorate deciding who to vote for? Failed politician hopes for another place at the trough might be more accurate. Defected!! The BBC needs to have a word with itself.
Because his name is a synonym for Epstein...
Clucking bell, Farage is Gollum!!!
I'm so tired of the constant chatter about Trump's health. Swollen ankles and cales, puffy face, bruised hands? These are NOT signs of serious health issues, it's just satan trying to escape -- he can't stand the stench.
According to the right wing grifters, the asylum seekers are military aged males, prepared to risk anything to get here, largely from places much tougher to live in than the UK. If that's true I'd think twice about holding a 'stella makes you stupid' party outside one of their residences...
I see Farage is the only person offering a solution to quell the racist violence that seems to be endemic, a problem entirely of his, and his ilk, making. Main stream media needs to start calling out this charlatan, it will not do to say 'we needed the clicks and traffic'.
Man, I read the first paragraph to my wife and she said 'that's the sort of think someone who would grab a cap from kid would say.' What a douche!!
The worst chancellor in history, Kwarteng, claims taxing landlords is Marxism. I think we need to start using Kwasi as a pejorative, you know the way 'rent seeking' is.
I wish the UK was Carswell free!!
Grifter's gonna grift
Konstantin Kisin holds political views that I don't agree with, but I respect his intellect and have, occaisionally, changed my opinion as a consequence of his commentary. It makes a change from the usual diatribe, barely above the level of soccer hooliganism.
The far right offer nothing different in this regard, rather a small group of inconsequential unfortunates for people to vent their anger on. Hold your politicians to account, vote forvahnge by all means, but a more extreme version of what we've already tried is not change, it's doubling down.
I don't think it is contentious to say that the state of the UK is largely the result of successive governments being unprepared to take unpopular decisions despite the obvious common good.
We desperately need more immigration, we need to dilute this gene pool.
It's almost as if Trump asked chatgpt how he can make MAGA and followed it's recommendations exactly, not once considering that Altman is a grifter only rivaled by him.
Probably cleaned it...
You pimping for Jon now?
So Israel is 'importing' pedophiles from the US. Hopefully the normal citizens of the country will realize that zionism is not only a xenophobic ideology but that it actively endangers their children.
Reform UK don't want any refugees but their climate change position would guarantee a significant increase in refugees. Chaos awaits!! Why don't journalists simply start referring to Farage as Trumps photocopier, everything he says is just a British, ashtray smelling version of Trumps latest lie.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202... They really are clueless morons! They should be tackling digital sovereignty and encouraging competition with us big tech not selling out the country in a way that would make Thatcher envious.
Tell me you are a filthy pedophile sexual predator without releasing the Epstein files. "Maxwell never saw Trump behave inappropriately and will serve her time for her heinous crimes in a 'white collar crime' country club. The president wishes her well"
careful, I'm pretty sure he's a gravy seal...
@peter-donnelly.bsky.social started me thinking who our politicians are in the GOT world. Starmer is Little FInger,he thinks he's very clever, stabs everyone in the back, and will eventually get his political throat cut. That makes Burnham Arya Stark, or maybe Bolton. "Corbyn sends his regards"
Ben-Gvir is a genital wart on Joffrey's todger. No wonder he was so angry all the time, imagine that irritating twat being your constant companion...
I just watched Cory Doctorow's presentation at CF25. youtu.be/_Ai-fC-2Bpo Neoliberalism is the enshitification of society. The likes of Starmer, Reeves, Blair & tories to numerous to mention, deserve as much contempt as tech goblins like Zuckerberg, Thiel and Musk.
I think this might get messy!!
According to a highly placed but anonymous source...
I've read Seldon's book on Truss, but thanks for the lead on Left Out. Voted for him in 2019 so it should be a sobering read.
In the absence of substantial change Starmer is going to make the tories losing an 80 seat majority look like a 'hold my beer' moment. Pandering to the right is pointless because he's not a walking nicotine stain enabling their racism, meanwhile said pandering is feeding the populist left.
I thought he was advocating for a free vote on a second referendum until threatened with a swath of resignations? Agree that Johnson was an awful PM, although you have to say that Cameron should have known better and must surely have been the catalyst for the chaos of the last 10 years.
Ouch! That's a damning indictment. Can't agree with that. Truss? Really? SMH.
Ffox screwed the pooch, I reposted
I think Starmer's problem is that he thinks Labour won because of his leadership and compelling vision rather than a catastrophic collapse of the tory party.
I've been trying to use #firefox over #chrome but the stalls and apparent deadlocks make it challenging.
The question is, would Corbyn have been a worse PM than that idiot who took his jacket off in the tory leadership debate to try and look like he meant business...
And you just know the Vance has rubbed himself against that furniture!!!
I read this as So, GPT5 is a bust, our bud and revenue wash enabler, Sammy says that all he needs is a $TRILLION and fresh data (not this ai slop -- his words, probably)and GPT6 will be the shit. Sooooo, where are we going to get this new data from???? WAIT A MINUTE...
Now you see I read t
alright, I'll concede, Carter, on his death bed, was more politically astute and competent than Mrs Putin, err, Fat Hitler, ummm, Trump!!
You know, I think Trump is probably about as politically astute and capable as Carter was. ... RIght before Carter passed away.
Tory pricks all over the world are going to be very upset with you for lumping them in with Starmer.
He should tell them to go fuck themselves, and use the way you fucked yourselves with the the Putin summit as a template.
Starmer had to be complicit in the Gaza genocide. Otherwise hd'd have had to admit that the only politician in the UK that had the Isreali govt absolutely bang to rights was that 'antisemite' Corbyn. Of course he'd also have to acknowledge Corbyn isn't, and that his own leadership is illegitimate.
What's the number of arrest that the met can make before the administration of said arrest renders the met operational ineffective?
I think she would be an excellent lead in the remake of V. No cosmetics required.
What was Palestine Action's greatest crime? 1. Criminal damage to military assets? 2. Demonstrating the ineptitude of the governments security around said assets. 3. Bringing the UK govts complicity over the ongoing genocide in Gaza into sharp relief?
I know it's great sticking it to the libs and celebrating your racism, but, on some level, MAGA must realize they voted for a demented moron? Will the US ever get back to an idiocracy level of intelligence and competence? We can dream!
If the Trump administrations competence matched their machiavellianism we would be truly fooked. Fortunately, I believe, I have to believe, that eventually democracy will prevail and Trump will be a cautionary tale, remembered least for his abject failure as a silver spoon nepo baby.
Then just do it!
So it seems Rushanari Ali was presented with a glass of brandy and a revolver. When it's Starmer's turn, are they going to go with the Aliens approach? "Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."
Starmer, a man determined to reform the reputation of the venal, inveterate liars that preceded him.
You must vote for Labour, the country won't survive another tory administration. ONE ... YEAR ... LATER ... Annnnd, we're back to dodgy dossiers justifying absurd policy...
It's an outside hope but hopefully this will inform the electorate that it's not just the old guard that needs to be moved on but anybody beholden to any body but the electorate!!
Absence of critical thinking skills, Trump, Farage, the fella from Nazareth, all signing from the same grifter song sheet.
Whaaaattttt? Are you saying that it didn't start October 7th.
Saw this: jobs.smartrecruiters.com/CDPROJEKTRED...
Dear Bibi, We really are very cross about the Genoside in Gaza. If you don't stop I can tell you now, you'll be getting a similarly worded letter next week. Kisses, The West. P.S. It double discount Friday on bullets and bombs, any interest?
There probably isn't a single person, who isn't Trump, that read this and didn't think. "So, he wasn't just a client, he was part of the pipeline!!"
I would never dress so conservatively...
It's a slab actually :-)
I still have sealed boxes that have crossed the atlantic 3 times... So I'd say you are ahead of the game.
Says the AIPAC puppet!!
I couldn't resist
SHHHHAAAAARRRRROOOOON!
No surprise though right? They aren't just racists, they see themselves as the aristocracy of the US and they abhor and denigrate anybody they see as mere peasants. When the news said the prince of darkness had died, my first thought was oh no, Vance is president.
There's a comedien here, Harry Enfield, he has a character, Jurgen the German, his affable nature is stymied by the reserved nature of the British. His frustration grows until he yells his tagline: ZIS VOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED UNDER ZE NAZIS. This now appears to be an ideology in the US!!
#farage I wish the press would parrot back his own rhetoric. On the cost of law and orer policies: "We should be thinking not what it costs but can we afford not to." In the next breath: "We'll find the money by cutting net zero" 🫤
#farage detailing Reforms law and order policy. Basically a Trump facsimile, also including some version of the ridiculous 3 strikes. It never ceases to surprise me that people can look at the authoritarian nightmare unfolding in the US and think, yeah I fancy some of that.
If starmer is having people arrested for protesting against Israels actions in Gaza, I can only imagine the riot act he is reading Netanyahy!! Oh wait, he only acts the hardman with people that have no recourse.
Does #starmer think that if he just wrings his hands until the genocide is complete he'll escape accountability, even if at the ballot box!!
