Put more simply: this elite see EVERYONE ELSE as vermin. The racists, both hardcore and casual, are just handing them the keys thinking they'll be looked after. They won't.

I don't think it's really about racism. They are reframing 'concerns' about immigration as common sense, to appeal to racists and easily worried middle-Englanders. But the endgame is to use this to secure power via the ballot box, then loot the public realm and criminalise resistance.
The Nord Lead 3?! I hope she didn't cheat on you!
Your team did that all the way through the Corbyn leadership. And once your man was in place, he told Labour members to leave, and the party is now funded by, and run for the benefit of, donors instead.
The K-hole
Oh blimey. You're along the right lines. Just missing the bit where Starmer told the Labour membership to leave because they'd been bought by those very same billionaires and were now pursuing their interests instead.
Because Labour are not a party on the left, even 'soft' left. They had a 600,000 strong membership who Starmer and his backers lied to in order to seize control, then told us 'where the door was' because Labour were now a right wing party, pursuing far right votes and doing the bidding of donors.
Did he not, essentially, appoint Starmer?
Quink? What, like duck or pig..?
Will Trump get away with this, though? My guess is the international community will timidly look at their shoes, establishing Trump's impunity. And a US backed Putin pushes westwards.
oh yeah? well, could a dying sex criminal do THIS? [bombs venezuela]
No, the Epstein files distract from this. Trump spoke with Putin recently, now this. This challenges foreign govts to condemn Trump. They won't, because they're lickspittles. This action sets a precedent for Putin to act in the same way in Ukraine, and then onwards to the rest of Europe etc.
The deepest analysis of Labour’s woes Chris Mason can offer involves poring over polling %ages, wibbling about comms & halfhearted gestures at y’know, social media & stuff. If you’re after anything about its wildly unpopular policies or strategy of wooing people who hate it, sorry, he’s not your man
As previously noted: if Rebecca Long-Bailey had won that leadership election then it seems quite likely to me that we would now be in the second term of the Johnson government, oblivious to the scandals, and “Partygate” would still just be some photos saved on a phone in Dominic Cummings’ desk.
Kier Starmer always cries at the end of Chicken Run because of the massive loss in profits the escape represents to their rightful owners
Listen to this - it'll knock your socks off.
Bluefish. It's just bluefish.
It is completely glorious how shit this looks. Just magnificent work. Slightly different lettering. A bit wonky. Didn’t even remove “THE” at the beginning of the second line. Chef’s kiss.
This is a beautiful piece, Sean.
A direct, and pleasing, lift of bits from the first Sea Nymphs album.
Apart from Wes, who inexplicably seems to be the chosen heir, as the only principle Starmer seems to have is to appease malevolent voices to show them he's on their side and hope it works.
Ha! Yes, I see exactly what you mean, I couldn't place it!
Then you're in luck. If you go to the Bandcamp page for Cardiacs, there is a full list of contributors, track list and more!
Don't think in terms of a current lineup, Cardiacs is Cardiacs! They get drafted in and out as needed. The new addendum to the history section of the website puts it beautifully. x

Cardiacs Woodeneye single cover.
‘A classic Cardiacs banger, propulsive, punky guitars giving way to a symphonic choral effect and some serious guitar soloing from Kavus Torabi. It’s an enticing entrée for the main course (the album LSD on Sept 19)'

I think it was to Marina and Sean @organmagazine.bsky.social So good to hear the finished article!
Excited. Was just a bit too little to see the 6 piece lineup.
Sounds Larcombe-esque!
