If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.

500 people at a protest. How many non league football games had bigger crowds today? These are trivial numbers of sadly unpleasant people
That's exactly what people won't admit to Arguing that because A isn't on your side enough you'll refuse to votefir them, allowing B, who is against everything you believe, yo win is self defeating at best
Strange, as well, as i reckon it's the most "current" of the Python movies in terms of its satire
Though the overriding way of showing concern for their problems has been to say "it's all the fault of immigrants", rather than suggest any real way to resolve underlying issues and actually, you know, make lives better

Exactly...the only thing they've really changed is to say let's not put 140 people on the street for 6 weeks, when the result may be they can stay anyway Making them leave pending the appeal would be like knocking an unplanned building down then having the review to see if it could have been built
I was referring to the post you quote posted, not you And it's more their contribution to an atmosphere than specific pieces of output They are part of a divisive right wing world view and think tank ecology that gets overexposed by the likes of the Mail and the Telegraph
Just take "crazy" out of that post and it's even more true Though I can see the argument that you have to be a bit nuts to want an assault rifle at home
No it bloody doesn’t, and no they bloody don’t.
There mst become way "shit a brick" can become a tagline?
Interesting that he wants comments but has disabled replies and quote posts It is wrong to do this, but while it's not fair for their staff to feel intimidated maybe they should also think about how their output makes others feel Throwing words rather than paint doesn't stop it being intimidating
Definitely? Don't want to question Tharg, but...
A light at the end of the Tunnels... Rob Williams and RM Guera's epic Dredd thriller concludes in 2000 AD Prog 2449, out on the 10th September!
It feels like these were stages that had to happen First, proper planning processes weren't followed so the change of use was disallowable and had to stop, the second stage looks wider, at where the residents are going while the appeal happens and says the best thing is for them to stay
The first thing wouldn't be a terrible tragedy, him becoming President, though, that counts
Colin MacNeil
Jenrick's response, including the statement that there is no acceptable accommodation for illegal immigrants (where's he putting them, then?) is particularly vile
Outstanding.
Welcome to 1973

Everyone at Rebellion is deeply saddened to learn of the death of artist Dave Taylor, who has passed away suddenly at the age of 61. Our tribute: bit.ly/4n2In0k
Do you have the numbers for Ed Davey or the Green co leaders?
Badly worded question Longer term the Thatcher/Reagan era had to be seen as underlying the change in society, but in the last 10 years, Brexit had thr biggest impact, if for no other reason than taking all the political bandwidth from 2015 to 2022 at least
Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in many of the UK’s problems - it’s time UK news shows and Labour started pointing that out

I mean, I could take a picture using a small bit of metal and glass here in my hand, rub the glass and the picture is on the small piece of metal and glass in your hand If that's not magic...
Lots of good building jobs as well...as long as you give up your passport and live in squalor... Total bollocks from the Mail, but to get exoected
Of course not, its a fucking computer. I'd worry more about the sad sack programmer who decided it would be good to gave a computer pretend to emotion
The Death of Stalin as a predictive documentary
Are you saying he wouldn't then? Because otherwise having lines as a strength, but losing, is not great?
When you start following it up by enjoying shooting the person siiting quietly on the sofa the other side of the door, then we'll worry

Think he's actuakly saying the 2 hours is all fuck...
Did most things...
Got to say, most of my Bluesky is comics and sf...though the creators and authors do occasionally post on politics because...fuck me you can't ignore it
I think the sort of 1st, the die/mould has now been made/cast so can't be changed, though not that the object has been made, more that if it is made, the result is fixed?
Think it's because there's 30,000 of them and there were probably only, like, 20 football matches with bigger crowds yesterday and they're scared theyre not going to support the right team?
Really, blocked him, he's just being a cockwomble
And people suggesting the World Cup should move are ignoring that before Trump took office, they were probably the most corrupt international organisation
Look at a picture of Boris Johnson and you'll see! Bumbling idiot, but a cock as well And stopped me posting another c word about him as often...
It was the go to description of Boris Johnson during covid as it was such a good description of him
We are now ruled by people who watched the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie, rather than read the actual comics.
Dave Taylor (1964-2025) RIP

Very sad to hear that we’ve lost Dave Taylor, a pretty extraordinary artist. Didn’t know Dave well but he always struck me as a good one on the odd occasion we’d chat. Thoughts with his family and friends.
Really sad, a great artist
I occasionally go back, but each time my ability to tolerate the bullshit gets shorter
Everyone is being mean about his fitness and weight when what they’re really forgetting is that he is actually an absolute weapon’s grade cunt.
How about, we disagree with him in this aspect and wish he gad a morenuanced view But, and it's a big but, if you choose Vance over Newsome when the tome comes, you think it'll be better for everything we care about Sure. Argue for someone better now, but eventually...
The only people who will accept the flights are those wanting people returned for punishment That will improve our world status...
It wasn't plastic, it was narrativium Comes in all sorts of forms...
Labour should be out there making the point that she was inviting violence in a dangerous situation, that she pled guilty knowing the consequences (despite her denying it) and that the courts and the prosecution were under the CPS not the government Get on the front foot
Well, he has confused Oasis and the Beatles there, easily done...
Presumably the flights could take off, but no-one would allow them to land? Other than countries getting political refugees back to imprison, torture and kill? Please, Labour, grow a pair and start pushing back on this bullshit!
Labour need someone out there today saying loudly, she was not an innocent political prisoner, she was somone who posted racist comments and on the day encouraged people to burn down buildings with people in them, while they were doing it Take it on, take the lead
Massimo Belardinelli
As an example someone should be going out today saying Lucy Connolly wasn't a political prisoner and hero, she was a racist who encouraged people to burn down buildings with people in them,while people were literally doing that Just go out and say it, loudly
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
"Can I have my pardon yet? What, three more lines Ok, he has really big hands, is good at golf and his penis doesn't look like a button mushroom What to you mean, the third one isn't helpful?"
This seems to be missed The ruling was a technical one that proper planning procedure hadn't been followed for a change of use But interpreted as a "win" over immigration by"some"
And we'll kill them all i til they do
He's in the same category as those in the US who wouldn't vote Harris because "she's just the same as Trump" Err,no...Not happy with Labour but still better than Badenoch, Jenrick or Farage
"Chuckled" Plus gave him the finger and said "fuck off, twat" under his breath maybe
Mick McMahon
You let Vance in, your friends are under the whole traffic system, nogt just the bus I say again, not what I want but don't tell me they're just the same
So, once the day, your choice is between Newsome and Trump/Vance and you'd, what...spoil your paper, making it more likely they got in? I'mnot talking about what I want, I'm saying if that's the choice I'm offered Yes, work to get a better choice but on the day, if thats it...
Silly comment, no he hasn't I'll give you he isn't making the changes I'd like but if you really believe he's worse than the Tories I presume you still think Trump is better than Harris Im not talking about what I'd like, I'm talking about if those are the options I'm offered
When are they going to coordinate though...US needs a movement to counter MAGA, not individuals all positioning for a run at the White House
Their relationship would certainly be explosive
I think its not "thank", it's "fuck"

The same logic that got people voting Trump not Harris and look how well thats going
And you think a Regorm government gets you that...same logic led to people voting Trump not Harris and look how that's going Not sure if your serious, deluded or just really a Faragist but it's a bad comment

Best forgotten
They're certainly not fit to be included as "serious" members of the press corps
They're not cutting through on a national scale though...yes Pritzker is good, particularly with the Texas congressmen but it's still not a uniform front to take on MAGA I know your parties aren't like ours but a few disparate voices isn't a movement
Much less hassle!
Very polite...

Mixing universes but I think he's more a Punisher sort of guy
From here in the UK I see no one but Newsome actually challenging Trump If not him, where is the Dem leader standing up now (2027 primaries are far too late) and making the case for the Dems, as opposed to lots of individuals fighting their corners
Maybe not, but he's the only person I can see from over here in the UK who is properly challenging Trump and standing up as a Dem leader I know your parties don't work like ours, but the Dems need a visible vocal head to get behind, sooner rather than later - primaries in 2027 will be far too late
Sounded more like a threat than small talk...:)

But fundamentally, if the choice between him and Trump are you really going to say they're as bad as each other? Because they're clearly not
