I still can’t believe they’ve made a whole podcast series based around two jokes:
1. The King’s son is posh
2. Paddington Bear is from South America and you know what THOSE PEOPLE are like, eh 😉

words like “bitch”, “cunt” and “twat” are vile misogynistic slurs and a lot of people should not be using them at all.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

news blitzes like this are rough on survivors, be mindful of how you talk about this stuff. and please remember that the victims exist and should be a part of these conversations and at the front of our minds when having them.
1. i hope something comes of the epstein thing for the sake of the victims
2. i'm sensibly skeptical
3. i'm a little put off by how giddy everyone is in a way that has nothing to do with the victims
4. no one with history should see phrases like "child rape" this often
5. idek what to mute

It is obscene that British media, and her own mother, have fully obscured that Brianna Ghey was murdered.
They've just glossed right over it, smoothly turning it into a narrative about suicide as if that is what happened.

I’m not a fan of Wes Streeting (obviously) but he’s less obscenely racist than Starmer. I don’t think he would have delivered Starmer’s now infamous “island of strangers” speech.

Casino Royale (2006) opens with Bond being promoted to 00 status, explicitly placing it as a reboot. It is patently insane to claim that the next film needs to religiously observe the established canon of six decades of prior films.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Completely baffling to see libs replying to this with jubilance, thinking the replacement will be more politically neutral. If a right winger gets forced out for being too left wing, why would his replacement be more moderate?

Most of these are pretty standard centrist critiques of left wing policy, but surely Darren knows that his own government has some pretty serious problems with delivery? “Unlike these woke lefties, we actually deliver on policy” isn’t a good criticism because everyone can see that it isn’t true.

This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.
