You can take the man out of Novarra...

It'll never not be funny to me that the abbreviation of barrel is apparently 'bbl', like oil is kept in one of these guys

I'm just gonna come out and say it, 'Tweet' was a far better word than 'post', and we're poorer for having lost it

In the midst of the British press *finally* turning it's relentless, piercing gaze to *checks notes* boobgate, it's easy to miss that in the other story thats driving Brits fucking kleen mawd, Churchill has been on the fiver less than a decade lol

Whats funny is "nobody is coming at this with anything less than good faith, but *immediately makes bad faith argument*" is exactly what got a load of people behind Corbyn back in the day

Report on Mandelson mentioning “The Telegraph reported on these links extensively in January 2024”

It’s striking how the press pack hive mind instantly recalled a Polanski interview from 2013 as soon as it was relevant, and instantly forgot “extensive” 2024 Telegraph reporting on Mandelson’s friendship with a child sex trafficker when that became inconvenient.

Like theyd have to know any agreement isnt worth the paper its written on

That's how i heard about yer one who died in 30 days!

*immediately* where my brain went, yes

How remarkable that the Hard Truths that have to be swallowed are
-Goodbye NHS
-Goodbye pensions
-Those concerns are Legitimate

the exact same things that government after government has been saying for years at this point

My boss in the US was genuinely impressed that i knew their upcoming holiday was Presidents Day, and my man, i was raised by TV, your TV, i know more about your presidents than my own

The needle that people need to thread is that the lads tied themselves to said wingnuts because doing so was a *useful tool for* shitehousing, be vicious and openly hateful to their true enemies, the other factions of the Labour party, not because they're the thralls of a Shady Foreign Power

i don;t know what exactly it is, but as soon as i see this stuff my brain twigs its ai and my eyes slide off it

More In Common, LMFAO

That's what happens every time i order a Smithwicks in my local and twig after the first sip that once again, nobody has ordered Smithwicks since i was last there

It's a sign that other people weren't online enough (not that i was too online, ridiculous talk) during the peak wooferendum years that i see this prick approvingly shared into my timeline every now again.

Not to hand it to the folks of West Britain, but Murphys genuinely tastes better lol

Y'know, as time goes by and the findings have been published, the "they're the only party to have ever been investigated by the EHRC" line seems less Unprecedented Shame, Root an Branch Reform Needed, and more Hmm, That's a Bit Stitchup-y

Now theres a magical night in Istanbul

It gave us this all-timer

I ask for so little, *so* little in life, all i want is Whiskey Pete sobbing in the stand at the Hague as they show video of that school being on a target map, cutting to that nerd speech he gave about THE GLOVES ARE OFF WE'RE WARFIGHTERS last week

Kinda funny that one of the falling dominoes that lead us down the path to *gestures* was that the question "no seriously, what *is* the plan for after bombing Damascus to rubble?" was actually asked in 2013 and couldnt be answered

When all you have is a stinger, eventually everything looks like a frog

On the very same day no less

MLC doing whats called in the business the 'Classic Stancil' -initally using Bluesky to try a character reset after years of Twitter "everyone to my left is wrong", but unable to resist that sweet sweet rush of being The Only Sensible One

Pretty sure we had that wee Small Boat Correspondent prick on the fucking BBC by that time

Soupy Sales' cultural impact has noticeably dipped in the last few years 😢

The great thing when is see 'NIMBY' mentioned is that i can ignore whatever the fuck else is being said, it's bad faith actors reheating the arguments of American bad-faith actors from the Biden administration

It's funny cause anger to absentee landlords is one of *the* drivers in the Irish independence movement, it's like if the colonial governors of now-America in the 1770s went to a conference on how awesome taxation without representation is, or how relentlessly stealing native land was a bad thing

@news.rte.ie Ireland is hosting a dedicated pavilion at one of the world's most significant property conferences this week, on the French Riviera, as part of an effort to attract billions of euro in foreign investment into our housing system

The Irish government will do absolutely anything, including inviting in more absentee landlords, in order to avoid having to do something about the housing crisis. It’s not foreign investment, it’s international financial feudalism.
