Yeah, Men in Love was a great read. Lots of really funny stuff (although the anal porn scene left me feeling 🤢). Good to get more of an insight into Sickboy’s life too.

Why are you still in the Labour Party?

World class supporters, world class club colours but the rest … 🤔

To date the net cost, for UK tax payer, to bail banks in 2008 is around £33 Billion. In November Rachel Reeves should recoup every penny by taxing banks accordingly. Remember Fred the Shred and his massive pension? He and his banking colleagues are laughing at the nation. Tax them all.

Read some information and go troll someone else

Military and political, you cretin. Wake the fuck up.

It’s all performative shit because baby boss wants a shiny medal.

Sloganeering? Have you looked at your own timeline, you fool?

paulfg42.bsky.social @paulfg42.bsky.social · 2d

Britain declared itself neutral I believe in the Spanish Civil War (really a coup d’état), withholding government gold reserves thus abetting the falangists whilst Nazi Germany were allowed to test their military capabilities on the Spanish people. Economic interests more important fighting fascism.

Apologies to its fans but it’s a steaming pile of shite.

I’m not arguing about whether there’s a genocide in Ukraine. It’s a bad faith argument from people keen to deny the genocide in Gaza.

paulfg42.bsky.social @paulfg42.bsky.social · 3d

If the support for Israel’s warmongering in Gaza and deliberate displacement and starvation of the Palestinian people was coming from a Tory government, you’d be first up on the barricades. But you’ve got your red rose blinkers on.

Is there anyone in marketing with a soul?

paulfg42.bsky.social @paulfg42.bsky.social · 3d

I actually did. You need your head examined if you thought that was a serious question.

Fascist. A security force that is beyond the law.

Apart from Ukraine (which actually is a war and not a genocide)?
