Exactly. They just used to be more worried about being openly racist.
They've been emboldened by the failure of decent people to call them out for their transphobia. Now they feel like they can go full throttle.

Well, obviously. Scratch a transphobe and you'll find a racist.

Graham Linehan is one of the most disturbing and clearcut examples of social media's capacity to devour the brain.

Has there been even a shred of evidence that proves these claims?
I mean, trump comes out with all sort of bullshit that's later proved to be bullshit lies.
If that's the case here, it just seems like they're bombing random boats for sport.

"Young Republican National Federation, the GOP’s 15,000-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old."

"Young" is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence there.

15 years??
Holy crap, Legacy came out in 2010?
But I mean, that was a sequel that came out 28 years after the original.
Ultimately, I just don't think the people were yearning for a Tron franchise.

But at least they've done it forensically?
But no, you're right. I knew they've be crap, but holy shit have they exceeded all of my wildestly low expectations.

They're so morally bankrupt that they reduce a genocide *in which they have been complicit* to an electoral calculation. I hope they never get anywhere near power again.

Labour MPs reckon that if the ceasefire holds it will be harder for opponents to mobilize against them over the Israel-Palestine issue in the next election. There are concerns though about whether the fragile agreement will hold. More in London Playbook PM.

Can we apply the new standard of English to the House of Commons instead? Because my MP can barely string a sentence

Oh, fun fact! That’s my ends, and this is what that same roundabout looked like 2 days later.
Funnily enough, the police station is about 100m down the road.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

They'll say this, then wretched "centrists" will accuse the left of being mad at Starmer for "actually winning", then say something about the politics of protest, then they'll grab a big old wine glass and fart it in and really delve into the aroma of it and the tasting notes.

Unfortunately not. Reporting and the media class in the UK seems to rely at the moment on being professionally and deliberately ignorant, just so they can argue for "balance".
"Oh he was arrested for a tweet", ok yes, but do you want to take context into account?
"No. I like him our garden parties"

There's some guys in Wakefield who know how to deal with this sort of guy.

I'm sorry, but "The King’s brother finished the email by saying he and Epstein would “play some more soon”."
"play some more soon"
How is that not basically a full throated admission of guilt?
Hey, guys who said a hello to Ian Watkins on Saturday? We've got another one for you.

Andrew and Epstein - the new we’ll ‘play some more soon’ email sent to Epstein the day after the snap was published of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre who killed herself aged 41 in April this year bit.ly/4913Djj

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we are in this together’

Email sent a day after photograph with Virginia Giuffre was published appears to contradict the Duke of York’s claim that he cut ties with the financier in 2010

The one that's sending me off is hearing the morning news describe an Israeli hostage as "a soldier in the IDF, kidnapped from a tank".

"I'm not actively yelling slurs, therefor nothing I am doing could possibly be in any way problematic. I have never seen behaviour like mine hurt anyone in real life, so it is not really happening."

Could be even closer, their numbers are 5 months out of date.
Labour appear to have not reported their numbers since the start of the year. Nothing to see there, I'm sure...

Their constant platforming of him is what’s going to make Farage eventually happen. The refusal to cover his multiple scandals should be put under microscope.
