Indeed, please rail against because her music is terrible and she's another pop star you're not allowed to criticise in spite of that
But in all seriousness, it's totally understandable that CR wasn't aware of Bardot's history of comments. The way people are railing against CR over this is kind of deranged, tbh.

I see the same people who think Lucy Connolly was a political prisoner believe a dual citizen should have his British nationally stripped in order to deport him

I do love stuff like this which just shows how insular and fucked up our discourse is. Oh no, this wrongly imprisoned guy reflected the opinions of the average non-Israeli in that he rightly despises Israel! What a bastard!

Cockburn on the LRB podcast here, observing that the upshot of the War on Terror is that almost every independent state between Libya and Afghanistan has either been brought to heel, or smashed into an ungovernable mess that can’t defend itself. And that this was the entire point.

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday! Except a non-Jet2 holiday, or indeed any holiday or indeed any advert for any holiday that doesn't use a song by that caterwauling cunt Jess Glynne

Don't think there are many films where you can say every single frame is brilliant in the way The Wrong Trousers is. Just an extraordinary achievement in every single way

Indeed, even if your husband is a fat slob Minecraft YouTuber, you're a bathroom obsessed weirdo and your kids have been nurtured with those qualities, as it will keep you away from the rest of us
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Apart from anything else, Fulnecky is just a world class American name isn't it, which makes it sad it's paired with something as basic as Samantha. Has to be coupled with Kayden or Krystal or Starla or Neveah or Serenity for its full spectrum power to be unleashed

As said over on the other place, sure, make chants of "globalise the intifada" a racially aggravated public order offence if you like. By the same yardstick, chanting "Allah, Allah, who the fuck is Allah" clearly is as well, and I look forward to the police wading in at the next fascist march.

It's the Meddlesome Ratbag mentality isn't it, that very British disease of curtain twitching combined with the burning fury that some people out there are daring to enjoy themselves. The Daily Mail personified, only with the stomping boot of a spurned billionaire to enforce its edicts.
They defied and insulted this paper, these crackpots and their gajillionaire patron, so now they will get rammed with vexatious litigation and relentless negative media coverage, until they submit and obey. That’s how it works.

At the end of the day, this is what it was always about with these freaks: being laughed at for liking unbelievably shitty things the rest of us grew out of.

Probably because I've yet to find anyone on any video platform with millions of followers who isn't also one of the worst people currently alive
okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
