War Lies & Excuses & Patriarchy Pick-Mes
Podcast Episode · The Trawl · 11 March · 41m
I’m really quite bored with podcasters and commentators trying to rationalise Trump…
Trying to unpick his degenerate ramblings as if he’s some kind of 4D chess playing war strategist
He’s a pillock surrounded by pillocks
If you’re bored too - you need The Trawl

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk - loved the goldfinch collective noun moment earlier!
On the same subject, my Alexa recently told me that the collective noun for a ferret is a ‘business’… 😮

Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.

I know you won’t bite James, but can LBC rewind the tapes a few months and see what Nick said at the time…?

Can anyone supply me with the Private Eye (or similar) round-up of what the great & the good said when Mandelson was appointed versus what they said when he was fired? Please.

I’m a little late to the #parkun party today, however I had a great tourist trip to my neighbouring midlands city for Alveston PR - it’s decent, flat, out there & back.
Surprised by how fresh I was at 3km, so powered on & got close to my PB …
40yo me = faster than 30yo me. 👊
You’re never past it!

Good grief. I’m not sure she’s thought this through. Unless, of course, she actively *wants* allies & enemies to believe that she would happily order the British military to commit war crimes.

Didn’t do #Parkrun yesterday due to taking the little one to his league football match (which was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch)…
On the same subject, my running route this morning was impacted by flooded paths, requiring some detouring…
Hopefully a drier week ahead..? 🤞

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.
The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.
Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Five star answer Dave! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s proper fresh today, but that wouldn’t stop most parkrunners, they’re a hardy bunch!

photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Absolutely buzzing with taking 35 seconds off my best ever #parkrun time at #Colwickparkrun this morning!
Course was really good despite the weather, and a huge thanks to the comms team who helped me with an issue with my barcode time not registering.
Best community ever! #hivizheroes

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…
And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.
We see you.

The most outrageous statement by Leavitt at the current White House press conference is the suggestion that Trump has felt even a shred of empathy for anyone, ever. #Minneapolis #alexpretti

1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year.
In the UK, it was 2.
The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6.
Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

After a lil #parkrun break, I stormed back with a vengeance at Forest Rec, setting a course PB and only 11 seconds off my all time Parkrun PB - considering the 80m elevation gain at Forest Rec, I’m buzzing with that!
Should smash my all time PB on a flat course!
Holme Pierrepoint soon I think! 👊
