Not The Politics Thread.

[The Fox Covert]

Nigel Farage demonstrated his astonishing ignorance of Irish history and current affairs when he raised his hand and said 'Up the 'RA', thinking it was some kind of birthday greeting.

 

Gobshite eejit!!!

Got schooled on it on Irish TV as well. Maybe if we'd put the grifting cvnt under a bit more scrutiny like that over here over the years we wouldn't be in the position we are now...

Nothing brings home the utter psychosis that gripped this country in 2016 than seeing Farage embarrassing himself again.

The difference with Irish and GB journalists is that Irish journalists do not hold back ever.

 

They regularly eviscerate politicians.

Its so funny that he's now doing Fiverr / Cameo videos. A long fall from relevance although I'm sure he makes a pretty penny doing it for the effort required.

 

The meme potential is endless but so far I haven't seen a lot. Do post more.

Tbf he's probably caused more economic damage than the IRA did.

It's nearly a year old but it still makes me wonder if Ms Patel is/was fit for her (very) high office and why she hasn't been sanctioned, or even why she was appointed in the first place?

I could have used Johnson refusing to drop the dangerous rhetoric given what had happened to Jo Cox.

 

He refused.

 

So its absolutely fine for the Con Party to incite hatred and violence.....

Unfortunately it's all parts of the political spectrum and beyond who use toxic language.

Everyone should dial down the abuse - politicians, social media warriors, all of them.

Yeah but when the Con Party go ahead and incite hatred its absolutely fine.

 

But as soon as something happens to them they want to criminalise the rest of society. Hence wanting to ban anon accounts. Sorry but everyone has the right to privacy online....

It's just what I'd expect from this shit show of a government.

I fear a lot about this collective policy that the government are at about ‘online abuse’.
 

They’ve taken the death of a poor bloke by a terrorist and extremist, decided that it’s a result of online abuse as opposed to outright hate speech. In the process targeting the social media companies which don’t harbour groups such as those the murderer would be in (they use far more unknown platforms or less used platforms). 
 

In the process now, we are going to have incidents like this 

 

where constructive criticism of a policy which is not in any way abusive is going to be deemed ‘abusive’

Irrespective of the fact that there's not one single element of that tweet that could be deemed "abusive", using the violent death of a colleague to point-score and virtual-signal in this manner is absolutely disgusting.

That doesn’t even seem real, that MP should hang his head in shame. Not that many Tory MPs have any shame, people should be more aware of the frankly disgusting voting records most of them have in parliament, this latest vote on dumping sewage into rivers being the latest instance. Reminds me of the time Matt Hancock tweeted about how great it was that a bill to protect victims of domestic violence had passed, then someone pointed out to him that he had actually voted against it.

How we can even pretend to be serious about this climate conference is absurd when we have such a party in charge - even Johnson is now setting it up to fail by saying it might. Not that they care, plenty of them on the payroll of fossil fuel companies, and they even put Christopher Chope, a climate change denier and all round scumbag on the Environmental Committee, along with a bunch who voted against the sewage bill, and have been told to “stare down” figures such as Caroline Lucas and Barry Gardiner to dissuade them from suggesting measures that would actually preserve our environment. Honestly conservatism is not going to save the planet, all this ideology does is slow down progress and hinder any real attempt to pursue legislation that improves the environment, let alone democracy and equality. Being ‘conservative’ is literally the opposite of what we need to meet the existential crises we’re going to face this century.

If fixing this does indeed involve overhauling the entire sewage system as suggested, I can understand why they’re being hesitant and voting the way they did. But this post isn’t abusive, nor is it really misleading. A little inflammatory maybe, but there’s going to be passion on an issue like this.

Don't know about the sea but from an anglers point of view, the river trent had far more fish in it before they cleaned it up, fish eat shit, now it's a struggle to catch.

Good, if those idiots vote her in they get what they deserve.

Didn't think many of us had Gary Neville linking the Prime Minister and Solskjaer in a tweet on the 2021 Bingo Card ! 

 

 

[Bellend Sebastian]

Whatever the ins and outs of the actual proposed legislation are, you'd have thought they'd be a bit more careful about voting on something that could easily be construed as voting to let water companies flush tods into rivers e.g. not waiting until afterwards to tell us it wasn't that
