Ian Brown’s face is aching. The straps seem to cut him like a knife. 
Truss (general uk sucks thread)
Apparently so and his rendition of Billie Jean at Homelands remains one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Phil-McRackin I don’t think being a cunt is a recognised medical condition
Bit harsh on Eddie that Phil
alistair All true, but as there is now an Eton cabal running the Tory party, they might well get their man in without too much bother, after all they managed it with Boris in the first place. Give Gove a shiny new marketing campaign, make out like he ‘Got Brexit Done’, the real mechanic of the whole venture, and the next thing you know he’s wanking off gammons in your nearest Weatherspoons.
If conservatism on that side of the pond is anything like it is here, they’re basically a fucking cult at this point. Fingers in ears “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA” anytime anything counter their uninformed opinion is brought up. Sadly, I think many know they’re wrong but they just cannot bear to admit it. Identity foreclosure. They’ve chosen the hill they’re going to die on and that’s that.
jonattonyeah
Absolute madness. Just like turkey’s voting for Christmas.
Will be interesting to see how low the conservatives poll at the next election (i know, 4 years away), given they are about to totally fck up Brexit as well as every single step during this crisis. Even the die hard Brexit heartlands are going to be crying foul. I’ll start the betting on 15%.
Here in the States it really doesn’t matter what’s going on or the State of affairs. It’s Manchester/Liverpool, Giants/Cowboys, Lakers/Celtics. They just want their team to win. It doesn’t matter what their side does, as long as the other side loses. Republicans actively undermine their own voters left and right. It just doesn’t matter. It honestly feels hopeless with the likes of Facebook and other forms of propagandist media outlets feeding people what they want to hear (lies, misinformation).
jonattonyeah yeah but the Tories in the UK don’t have that hardcore following - think they may now be losing their more established support base. And the Brexit voters will be fickle - many of them used to vote Labour after all.
Good to hear that. The tribal nature of the Trumpists in America is beyond alarming. I shy away from Godwin’s Law, but I honestly believe he could kill 6M people and his cult wouldn’t bat an eyelid. What they’re so aggrieved about I’ll never know.
Jules72 Don’t ever lose sight of how pig-shit-fucking-thick the average racist Brexit supporting cunt is. They don’t give a fuck about the economy or the virus (looks what’s happening now), they just want out and are prepared to take any associated pain.
Along_the_Wire it is a full time job keeping my anger levels down at the moment….
Sunak for PM.
alistair It’s usually because Labour shoot themselves with internecine conflict (the later Blair-Brown years), or simply crap leadership e.g. Michael Foot, Corbyn.
Corbyn was quite interesting in a nostalgic kind of way, the political equivalent of seeing a Morris Minor on the roads in 2020, you think “oh, look at that, isn’t it interesting? I wouldn’t want one, mind” and then most of the country ended up plumping for the Alfa Romeo which is also crap and forever breaking down, but at least looked modern and promised a lot.
Congrats UK, Qanon has landed on your shores too.
What’s Qanon?
Cheers Dave.
Smallman, whenever I start to like it you fuck it up by asking a stupid fucking question.
Much like Rhouses.
Cheers Dave.
QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring is plotting against President Donald Trump, who is battling them, leading to a “day of reckoning” involving the mass arrest of journalists and politicians. No part of the theory is based on fact.
jonattonyeah File under flat earthers, no planers, brexiteers etc.
9-11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, chem-trailers.
Amazing that we have the totality of human knowledge in our literal palms with iPhones yet we still manage to be relentlessly stupid.
We are fucked.
Oh! I always forget about the chem trails lot, the feel a bit ‘yesterdays conspiracy’ now compared to current events.
There absolutely are global sex trafficking rings - whether they have anything to do with Satanism, Trump being a super hero and other various translations of Qanon is beyond me. (They don’t).
I’ve never heard of chemtrailers before and just looked it up. LOL, what a fucking bunch of thickets
I had a friend who was actually very accomplished. He was a guest “life coach” on that show “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy” (which was a big tv show at the time). I think he thought that would propel his life forward into something. But it never quite happened. And I think it crushed him. He’s now gone off the deep end; claiming he’s seen planes with chemicals spraying stuff onto the masses. He’s also now organizing anti-mask rallies; speaking out against vaccines. He’s really lost his marbles. Shame, as he’s very charismatic and has a good heart. Just let his demons get the best of him. We obviously don’t chat anymore.
Yeah I’ve a couple of mates back home that spend all day on FB. I get the odd meme sent to me, you know the ones, sometimes they have Bill Gates, sometimes lines like “WAKE UP” and various others including debunked pics of pumping stations on airplanes. Some people and the Internet aren’t a good mix. “I remember when I was a kid and there were no trails in the sky, EVER.”
You spent all day washing mud off your face and pretending you were the Ultimate Warrior you stupid bastard. When did you ever look at the sky?

Never knew Flarsey had been on Queer Eye as well as in the Inner Dojo of prog.
Shut the fuck up, Dave.
Pondwater, you’re an absolute berk.
