In the news

Karma is a bitch.

The article also states that his business associate Mr. Hung turned out to be crooked.

As dumb ways of removing yourself from the gene pool go, that's hard to beat.

Would have been easier to beat if the surgery had succeeded, I guess.

‘farewell to a visionary businessman’

he had a vision alright

that's hard to beat.

#twss etc

The Daily Mash surprisingly one step behind on this:

Where does the Tory party find them?

They are on a bit of a role aren't they.
Liam Fox tweets about the World Trading Organization, Karen Brady pisses off the very people she's supposed to be appeasing and Amber Rudd roles back the years with this beauty- Not bad for a quiet Thursday.

Yep, odd how a fumbled majority in the HoC has turned
Chris Morris' 'The Day Today' from satire to prophecy.

I like to think that Amber Rudd's internal dialogue went;
'Don't call her Coloured, breathe, relax, don't call her Coloured, breathe, relax, ....'
the her bastard Tory shoulder devil screamed Tourettes-like 'Just say it, you know you want to!'

Seriously, fuck these guys. It's not funny anymore.

Not that I'm Amber Rudd's biggest fan or anything, but from reading the actual text and the context, it does read like she meant to say women of colour.

...altho I do love the Peepshow style image of her internal voice saying "don't say it".

“It definitely is worse if you’re a woman, and it’s worst of all if you’re a coloured woman. I know that Diane Abbott gets a huge amount of abuse, and I think that’s something we need to continue to call out.”

no it's still fucking terrible.

If you're talking about a sensitive issue on live radio, and being careful, and still come out with that, and don't immediately acknowledge it and apologise the moment it comes out of your mouth, I'd love to know what you're comfortable saying behind closed doors.

If any other party adopted this as their campaign slogan, they'd win by a landslide.

Lets hope there are 347 Hastings & Rye voters of Colour who did not vote in the 2017 GE.

I met one genius who voted for her today. 'I'm ex army and Corbyn is mates with whassisname from the IRA'. Couldn't be bothered to try and unpick it with him as he was a classic gammon with loud opinions about everything.

Anyway, last census shows just over 8k non-100% white people in Hastings & Rother, I'm surprised it's that high tbh.

Big Momma Leadsom going for the trifecta by suggesting islamophobia is something to be addressed by the foreign office.

Gunboats, that's what stops Islamaphobia

In one alleged incident, a senior named party officer was accused of
referring to a Conservative council candidate of Indian origin, Prab
Ghosh, as “Oran”, allegedly a shortening of “orangutan”.

Hesitated to post this here, but found it really interesting and explained a lot of thoughts I'd had but couldn't articulate properly.

Shoreham Airshow pilot acquitted over crash deaths

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-47495885

Presumably this opens the way up for private prosecutions?

Kinda reminds me of those cases where a pedestrian or whatever has been killed by someone driving a vehicle and despite conditions being favourable and there being nothing wrong with the motor somehow the driver is found to have behaved just fine despite the obvious fact that something went wrong enough for someone going about their daily business to now be dead.

A bit mind boggling

There's a thread on Pistonheads about passing distances for cyclists, which is going as you could expect, with the highest density of total cunts on the UK Internet sounding off.

I posted the Shoreham airshow trial link, and it was deleted by a mod as "not relevant" within 15 seconds.

I guess passing is in a car, but yeah that is odd. Didn't realise it was so heavily moderated. Do you think it could be you?

Counterview to the MJ doc:

I guess it brings up a lot of the same arguments around Savile, although MJ did actually have allegations and trials at the time.

Also thought this was interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/04/banking-leak-exposes-russian-network-link-to-prince-charles-troika-laundromat

I reckon the mods probably get an alert whenever a URL is posted, and they're also thick cunts.

That piece is terrible:

'haven't watched it, but here are some uncorroborated statements and a dig at one of the accusers'
