In the news

I know I don't help myself sometimes.

With Elphicke having been found guilty don't his continued public protestations of innocence constitute Contempt of Court?

Nah, just contempt for the victims

Also: middle class as a veiled insult. Agree it's tedious.

Middle class men, who control this group, have an ideal stereotype of a woman - normally blond, white and with good teeth.

Please do fuck all the way off. If you're going to start from lazy, tedious, creepy, and vaguely insulting generalisations like that then you're only ever going to produce bullshit.

When I see articles praising the heroism, virtue or sanctity of these women, I often question what's going on beneath the surface, and sometime post them here.

The vast majority of the "posh bird" articles that you've so assiduously shared here are in the format: person with direct, personal experience of a problem relates their experience. It's been explained to you that that's how a huge amount of journalism works.

Today's example is a story about an incident that happened in the London Borough of Newham, one of the most deprived and ethnically diverse areas on London. The Guardian however featured an article written by a white guy centred on a white couple who look like they've just walked straight out of a Persil commercial.

How dare they be clean! More to the point, the incident took place in a specific building (managed by a cross-borough company) to a relatively small number of people, who may or may not be local. I've swum in that pool with kids and I lived on the opposite side of London. The relevance of it to the Newham as a whole is hardly a key feature of the incident, it's a human interest story, not a local community issue.

Throwback to when we were all angry about landrover driver

Mum banned from driving after admitting 'nudging' Insulate Britain protester with 4x4

Posh birds eh?

Can't see her teeth properly in the video and doesn't look like a natural blonde.

That vermin thought it was her big break. She tweeted something about juggling offers from broadcasters, then launched a range of hoodies which said Range Rover Mum on them. I'm surprised the Tories haven't yet parachuted her in for a by-election.

Scum
Sub-human scum

Says she's 35... those numbers definitely not switched around?

Jesus Christ, have a word with yourselves.

So initial tranche of fines issued by the Met but Johnson won’t admit that law was broken?

I’ve contacted my MP again (pointless but you have to try), his reaction will be interesting as I was fobbed off last time about needing to wait for the police investigation (as well as “not believing all the low quality information out there” - obviously Sur Bill is far more discerning than I am). Guessing on the response? Probably something about it being inconsequential when we are leading the world response to the situation in Ukraine…

Probably something about it being inconsequential when we are leading the world response to the situation in Ukraine...

That's exactly the line they're all trotting out

Blah blah, this has now been dealt with, PM has apologised, put it behind us, more important things, not the time to change PM etc, lying cunts, etc

Bit of good news here:

Lying cunts that we have no way of holding to account - my MP has a 23+k majority in a small constituency, his father was a Tory MP, wife is an ex of David Cameron, we’re all doomed

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60921606

Cunts being cunts and actually spouting off that they’re helping people with this policy. This country is fucked.

Apparently said idiot MP has just returned from an expenses paid trip to Qatar.

I guess his day a week grift for £100k with a tax haven based financial company (who knew that beef farmers had such financial acumen?) isn’t enough

And of course it gets better https://twitter.com/pippacrerar/status/1509183867705565185?s=24&t=Uv1Af7dOFX2km7oj5TzGwA

I’ve got into a few fights on here for not being right-on enough, but the overturning of the legislation to ban Conversion Therapy? Fuck me.

Don't worry. They've managed a super high speed U-turn on that one.

...leaving out trans people.
On Trans Visibility Day.

Another manifesto pledge bites the dust
