The Labour source who continually says mad aggressive shit, but stays anonymous so people think it is coming from his boss.
Paris! we're comparing capital cities. English in Amsterdam was excellent. English in Paris was excellent.
Don't know what to tell you. I've been to both France and the Netherlands in the past week and the standard of English in both was equally excellent.
I was in Bruges at the weekend and the staff there had a friendly joking coversation in French, Dutch, German and English. Is pretty shocking when you really how bad British people are in comparison.
That's just not true in Paris. In fact I'm trying to think of a sine tourist spot I've been to where you can't use English.
I making it exit through a shop was also very clever.
I don't think that would have survived Instagram.
Was that scene known at the time? I feel that was in book 5 which I think came out later.
Hey, to be fair, he also denied the Britishness of white immigrants too.
"Hey ChatGPT, I'm being made to look fucking stupid on the Internet, what's a good response once you've lost an argument?"
Don't ever fry garlic, chille and spring onions till fragrant, then mix in the flavourings and then the noodles. And then a fried egg. Once you do that you are addicted for life.
Yes, because there are non white British people. Your racism is pretending they are not British. How are you not getting this?
So people are upset that you said something racist and don't give a shit?
well on the one hand it's bad for democracy and social cohesion that Keir Starmer is trying to appeal to the racists by pretending to be one of them, but on the other hand it's not actually working and the racists still don't want to vote for him
Calling the UK “an isolated whites, only culture”, is *objectively* racist though?
Do you see why people have been calling you a racist all day now?
"I was failed by the British education system" is a perfectly fine view to have, but it's kind of incredible that she manages to blame progressives for the failings of Major era education.
Nah, waving thr flag and cheering on the national team wouldn't seems weird. Just state that you have a flag in your home that you sit infront of, that's definitely normal.

Following that logic the Beatles would not be British because of the potatoe famine.
Presumably some sort of Saturday night phone in show like Strictly?
Funny how he didn't respond to this.
I reckon its not at "more extreme views than Tommy Robinson" yet, but we're not far off. bsky.app/profile/bill...
Haha, kind of obvious now that i think about it for 2 seconds
There are loads of them in your replies calling you racist but you've muted the thread.
Bill the pony guy? No he's up and claiming that the people who invented the dish were Bangladeshi.
Fucking lol how you think that is the same thing.
We're waiting.
Hey, quick question, where do you think the California Roll was created?
Oh did he wake up and delete it?
Yeah there in every supermarket in the uk
It's a lovely constituency! But like, Head Boy at Winchester, did well in the city, marries very well, MP, Chancellor PM, goes off to make money. Would be an entirely standard tory PM biography!
Yeah no, sorry that's just wrong, and if he looked like David Cameron this "he's really american" talk would be considered insane.
Hopefully the massala beans will get them to shut up about baked beans also.
Yeah actually it's kind of funny to think how fee of the early episodes were actually about tech.
He's going to have fun when he wakes up.
Its a form of American exceptionalism right? Only their country has the ability to accept imigrants as the shining city on the hill. Everyone else are colonial oppressors.
Also a deep love of films, they really do love this stuff. Where as a lot of their imitators seem to just hate movies.
I only remember because I fell for it at them time!

Genuinely, there wasn't and you are remembering a comedy sketch.
"...And here is why you are wrong to get upset by us calling a drink the "Irish Car Bomb"".
They sort of revisit that in Skyfall. A similar thing happened to Javier Bardem as Brosnens Bond.
They've got such a weird view of Europe being "the old world", so immigrants don't count here?
The thread starts with a pastrami bao bun! Like why is that American, but if it was in the UK it would not be British?
If you cant enjoy "James Bond blows up Rupert Murdoch" then you are truly lost.
Yeah it was Endomol wasn't it? Was pretty hard discourse whip lash when they revealed the twist.
I can think of a way an insurance broker could have that amount of money...
Got really confused because of the food discourse and thought TMC meant Tika Massala Chicken. Got surprisingly far into the post before I realised something was up.
Wait, are you saying that the Dishoom Big Bombay Breakfast is /not/ traditional Mumbai cusine?
Fucking lol that this started with a pastrami bao and ended with "obviously Rishi Sunak is not English"
It was fun when they were doing this when Sunak is PM. Like, guys, maybe update the imaginary image of the UK that you have in your head? Presumably you are basing it on the Freinds episode in London?
It's really funny how they don't even see the racism.
Yes? There are non white British people, stop being racist.
The government still treating x like it is twitter is absolutely ridiculous.
Big weekend for Henry Scampi who finally found a bird injured enough he could actually say hi, thus fulfilling his lifelong ambition to meet a pigeon and also confirming MY lifelong suspicion that he is not a hunter.
"I'm a cool progressive, who has a more extreme view on race than Nigel Farage."
Idk, I think Camerpn was probably on to something when he called UKIP "Fruitcakes, loons and closet racists."
Hmm, almost like "people everywhere hated inflation" explains the situation better than "nation votes for white ethno state".
No mushrooms?
I guess if you only did like 4 scholarships to 16 year olds across your career, you'd probably remember them all.
You'd just assume the crash had been worse than you thought and that you were now in hell.
As an aside, don't you hate the American convention to keep referring to people by an office they no longer hold? Like if I started talking about Mayor Livingston I'd be committed, but apparently it's OK over there.
Hell of a coincidence that two strange things happened in one night.
It takes more time than that to watch the Peter Jackson documentary on Get Back ffs.
I do like how the manage to fit "She got two B's and a D" fit into the final paragraph. Fantastic way of saying something without saying something.
Reminds me of a phrase in Beevor's ww2 book "Only if ‘repples’ survived their first battle, and began to create some scar tissue around their fear, would they stand a chance of living through to the next" Well, yes, surviving your first battle is definitely a prerequisite to surviving your second.
I feel sorry for Jon. "Once Labour Win, they will set the terms of the debate" was actually a really good article pointing out the difference between being in oposition and in government. Shame nobody in Number 10 seems to have read it!
Also, there are only 15% Reform voters (people who voted for reform I'm a general election) so you actually don't really care what they think. The trick is to to make the majority of people none Reform voters go "Oh, this party is a threat to national security and I need to vote against them".
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
Especially seeing what the electoral reward the tories got for their horrible polices.
Staff at prett seems confused and disgusted every time I get a toasties from them also. They don't seem to get the concept that after it is warmed up I would like it back please.
Shout out the the incredibly drunk English guy at 1pm who when seeing the dogs went "A fluffy! Two fluffy's!", I cant handle the 11% beer they make in Bruges either.
I mean, don't get me wrong, attempted murder via arson is definitely an anti social behaviour. Just maybe there is a stronger word also?
I spotted someone wearing one watching Swan Lake last year. And like, I'm glad we no longer have to wear a dinner jacket to see ballet, but I think that's probably gone too far.
After a decade of them not building on shore wind also. Absolutely disgusting.
Like, why is it considered bad form to just say, these people are racist thugs and we should opposed them not coddle their feelings.
But now of course we need to forget this ever happened, and tommorow when the same sort of people claim they just want to stop the boats, commentators will tut at Blue Sky for not accepting their legitimate concerns.
They're going to learn the same thing the rioters last year learnt. Just because people online are cheering you on, the law is the law and your still going to prison.
"I'm a SRN!" Not any more sorry.
Good news is that because it was caught on camera the old racists life will hopefully be ruined.
There is a reason that the only Weasley from the films to have a successful career is the one who only showed up in the final year.
Imagine the stress free and supportive atmosphere you would get when say, Harry and Hermione think that Rob isn't doing well enough and WB are about the refresh the entire cast.
The kid who was originally cast to just be kidnapped in season one, who they then clearly struggled with after?
It's hard to find a child actors good enough to hang a show on. It would be impossible to do it seven times in a row.
Trump is on a golf course this morning, but a bunch of Japanese bunraku puppeters in black body suits are moving his limbs. It would be disrespectful to the artistry to acknowledge them, so play along.
okay my friend in the White House press pool says he’s going golfing today, everyone stand down, good practice run great job team we can get a few more drills in before the big day
It's absolutely shocking, and not popular! These weird Internet racists are far, far more out of touch with this country than any "liberal elite".
"The president has a cold and advice of his doctors will not be making any appearances today" is how they will announce it if/when he dies.
We never did find out about that rushed "pyhsical" in 2020.
I hope they make you feel better!
It's like when in late 2023 you'd see a Tory 19, Labour 38 poll and people try to work out the FPTP implications. Even though the average was nothing close to that.
"It would be wrong to sell people to the Taliban" should not be a hard ask for a progressive party.
(I think Rosie was maybe 8 months old on this photo in 2021, and just coming to terms with the fact that she had landed with a family who were going to spend years taking photos of her infront of cathedrals hundreds of miles from home. Like we did yesterday)
It's a beautiful city, even when it is raining*. *which since 2007 is every time I've been there.
This is the Ruby and Toby security patrol by the way. I don't think they look as intimidating as they think they do.
...then Ruby and Toby (ours freinds cav) in our bedroom heard the barks and went mental at the bedroom window. Rosie runs inside and joins them in barking... At herself.
I think I've said this before. But she went out for a pee on the balcony, and (as she always does) did a couple of threatening barks so everyone outside knew to watch out...
