I imagine some Tories on the board or above the board have leant on them to "not be too hasty".

I can't remember the name of it (think I was linked to it from here), but there was a YouTube video looking at the history of human communities and how the Internet is the antithesis of how we have always formed them. The solution they suggested was a return to smaller Internet communities of the early 2000s, such as Geocities and forums. So, yeah, forums are the best! This one? youtu.be/fuFlMtZmvY0That's the one! Really interesting video and think the argument it posits on why social media is bad is a compelling one (plus, it bigs up forums).

This is quite interesting. The Times, who love a race bait and are usually quite sympathetic to this kind of bullshit, didn't manage to find a single person who didn't sound like like your aunts Facebook page. The internet has absolutely ruined our worst generation.

The bald bloke with the blonde wife clearly didn't believe everything and just seemed to be going along with it for an easy life.

Saw this story on reddit about how sunak plans to fund the defence spend
Rishi Sunak plans to axe 70,000 civil servants to pay for hike in defence spend
the reddit link goes to express story (didn't want to give that site any hits)
to quote the 2 top posts
Does he realise that when they remove civil servants, spending goes up because the roles have to be done by external contract resource at 5 times the price?
Of course, he probably owns the agency that’ll do it!

Jeffrey Donaldson charged today (11 offences, 1 of which is rape). As an aside, I was reading a bit about Enoch Powell who had a close relationship with Donaldson (and was an alleged paedophile, though it's not mentioned in his wiki), and I didn't realise that 74% of the British public* agreed with his River of Blood speech with just 11% against. Edward Heath (another alleged paedo I believe) sacked him the next day against Thatcher's wishes. And nearly a year later Powell was voted "most admired person" by the British public**.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this except I didn't realise how popular he was. And that the Conservative Party used to get rid of people that went against their 'values'. Although maybe their 'values' changed subsequently and that's still exactly what they do. No idea. Depressing in any event.
* well, a Gallup poll ** again Gallup

Can't face watching all that video after when asked about Rishi Sunak the woman of the pair said "I think it's time he went home now."
What, Southampton? I think the bloke is a waste of space but fuck off with your blatant racist shite.

“Openly” Christian? Are you, madam?
Do you remember when Jesus spoke about the Good Samaritan? Or the tax collector? Or the leper?
Did Jesus talk extensively about national purity? Did he say we should exclude others and seek to put ourselves before them? What were his opinions on the outcasts of society?
“Openly christian”, what a fucking joke.
Edit: I’m not a Christian but grew up in a Christian household and it absolutely boils my piss when dickheads try to use it as a justification for their hatred. I cannot think of anything so diametrically opposed to the teachings of the bible.

There's two types of Christians: People who listened to the Sermon on the Mount and people who listened to the Sermon on the Mound.

I’m be never heard of the Mound, but good lord that is some hilarious interpretation of the Good Samaritan. If only Jesus had made some kind of statement directly commenting on his views of the rich!

Apparently there is a conservative backlash against the geezer who plays Reacher because he had the nerve to say ‘as a Christian, I really don’t get this modern interpretation where everyone acts like an arsehole instead of being kind and compassionate’.

He'd have gone gammon had he lived longer. And that's why the Leftist Romans had to kill him! He would've become too powerful an opponent.

At first I was almost amused - the idea that the Royal Navy would be out in the Channel, along with a steady supply of empty dinghies, going through a never-ending cycle of stupidity like a xenophobic version of Wile E. Coyote:
- stop migrant vessel (with force!); - give the migrants a new boat; - rinse and repeat.
Then, as the mask slipped ever further and eventually fell off, I stopped being able to mock his ideas and started to want to punch him in the throat.

It's not conclusive or an exact science, but looking for the relatively common known tick that someone lying, will blink often. Ben Habib looks like he's about to take flight.
(apparently the brain has to focus more when lying, to the point it forgets to fully lubricate our eyes properly..)
Anyway... What's more depressing, he's evil? Or he'll pretend to be evil, because they've concluded enough of the population are racist to the point it'll get them enough votes.

How the fuck can anyone be the worst person in a room with Julia Hartley-Brewer without being e.g., Hitler, Dennis Nilsen*, Cat in the Bin lady**, Trump*** *we await a survey of her drains **We need more cameras in the JHB neighbourhood tbh ***She probably grabbed a pussy and put it in a bin

Liberal TalkTV has gone woke!
She did a good job of making him follow through with his arguments, which of course ended up saying the quiet part out loud. This should happen more often with these pieces of shit.
Also I found his insistence on saying “it’s a border force, they should use force!” hilarious - he obviously regards himself as being a very clever boy for thinking that up. Christ.

I was reading an article the other day about a pastor somewhere in America who had a member of his congregation tell him after his sermon that his 'speaking lines were too liberal' and when the pastor said that he had been quoting the actual words of Jesus from the actual Bible this 'Christian' had said something along the lines of 'well the world has changed'.

Even if she agrees with him she knows advocating for letting people die is being the pail for a talk show phone in. Whereas Ben Habib is genuinely deranged, a sociopath and a liar. I don’t know why people have him on because he talks absolute bullshit.

Ahhh yes. The ol' pick and choose Christianity of today's right wing pricks. It's almost as if 99.9% of the duplicitous fucks have never even read the Bible and just like to tell you at full volume how Christian they are.
