It’s pathetic, isn’t it. I think genuinely the only reason I ever have cash is to pay the window cleaner. I don’t even bother getting cash in local currency when I go abroad.

Anyone giving out “fuck off back to” racism deserves to have their other opinions disregarded.

Your argument makes no sense. If you admit that this particular tradition is not a good one and needs to be ended, then there’s no reason to assume that people who are happy to see it go would similarly delight in removing other traditions.

There’s a terrible tendency that any time anyone comes along and starts saying things that are popular from a left perspective, established thinking goes ‘all very nice yes, but it’s not SERIOUS is it’ even whilst all the accepted serious people fail absolutely constantly at the absolute basics.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Quite high on the list of things I could not give a fuck about are British rent-a-gobs and how much they love living in Dubai. Stop talking, you can’t say anything to convince me you have a soul.
