If it'd happened yesterday it'd have been fun as the anniversary would always be overshadowed by the death of Liz 2. I mean, I'm no monarchist, but she left a mark on the world. All 47 left was a stain.

Honking endorsement for Farage, Johnson et la, without a moment’s reflection that 10 years of UKIPified Tory govt created the mess they’re railing about — booming benefits bills, bond market routs, immigration surges, trade slump and investment slumps. Bring back Boris and Nadine! That’ll fix it. 🙈

There are multiple possible definitions of the word 'fucking,' and the statement would still be true for all of those definitions.

Everyone is rushing to defend Graham Linehan as some martyr to free speech but don't actually state what he tweeted. He explicitly called for people to violently assault trans women in the bathroom. In another instance, he cyberstalked a trans minor. He's legitimately a danger to trans people.

#OneDayInSouthport is yet another hard watch from Channel 4 but something people needs to watch. Cunts like Farage, Tate and Yaxley-Lennon are a cancer to society and it just shows how easily people can be provoked to pure and unjustified hatred.
