Just got back from watching it in the cinema for the first time since the whole run of Bonds the other year.

Haven't changed my mind that it's easily my favourite - almost everything is nailed on, especially the characters.

That's exactly what I was implying. The previous Tories (Raab and then Patel), and Cooper along with other current Labour politicians have all had joint meetings with CPS and foreign lobbyists in the past 5-6 years.

Politicial influence in our judicial system seems to be getting worse too.

I got blocked for making that joke (and not even directly at him).

Starmer and his cronies throwing a strop because they can't even do fascism 100% successfully (yet)

"Not all Yanks*"

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 1d

Bluesky trying to censor this as "graphic media" is a perfect example of the ownership & how it's being run.

A centrist lib haven, where anti genocide content is increasingly being restricted. I've always been suspicious of the background of those running it & it's rapidly becoming unusable.

Everyone who says she distracts from the bigger issue is someone who would otherwise be deliberately or innocently ignorant of the bigger issue. Justifying her actions.

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 1d

This is really concerning for so many reasons. Planning laws exist for a reason, and ripping them up for an environmentally destructive sector just compounds the problem. Not to mention social impacts of unregulated development.

There is no way this meets any ESG practice.

Mr Clippy is a sentient real person, and my friend. Anyone who argues with this is Hitler.

I'm not here enough to know any of those accounts or what the beef was, so it took ages of reading to get a rough idea as it was all so random. When I got to that post about Al I thought I was having a fever dream! WTF??

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 3d

For a group that loves their ridiculously simplistic "horseshoe" diagram, the libs really can't help but prove the fishhook theory to be accurate.

Advocating for revenge deaths, let alone ignoring the two years since or 75 years before, is far right nonsense.

Labour going full Reform, not just the policies but now they're banning unfriendly media.

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 8d

Me behind, following up with "at least they aren't worker and parasite" then getting annoyed when random normal people don't get my obscure Simpsons references.

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 10d

People not realising their own privilege, and they'll be the ones to complain or claim ignorance when the things they've ignored eventually directly impact them.

Start of the weekend vs End of the weekend

Slight change in weather!

Posted one thing on twitter about how Polanski has approached something better than Your Party and it's picking up way too much engagement 😂 I'm not strongly on one side or the other, & definitely don't care about the impending arguing in the replies.

The same people who have finally realised "just ignoring him" wasn't going to help.

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 15d

You started the entire thing by throwing aimless speculation, that can't possibly be proved or disproved, at a story. That's not "criticism", or how you start a good faith discussion.

For an account that seems fixated with 'data' that's a bit odd, no?

They should just go with this. Make them wear the full wardrobe too.

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 18d

Think maybe Corbyn was happy to go as he wanted out of mainstream / national politics. The team behind him convinced him to come back (and we've seen how that worked out, his team are clueless).

Joe @joeyl14.bsky.social · 18d

Yeah. A handful of true left wing MPs are still in Labour despite being very opposed to the direction of the Party, because they haven't done enough to upset the leadership & be forced out. Always seems odd to me that they're happy to stay.
