Chilling that Charlie Kirk posted this in April. Right on cue, so he says bad things so deserves to be shot… What a disgusting opinion to have:

My bad, as soon as I posted the thought crossed that you/others weren’t talking about Charlie Kirk! Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens are odd figures.

It’s this kind of [inaccurate] rhetoric that has justified violence against people on the right. Stop conflating ordinary conservatives as ‘neo-Nazi’. John McDonnell called Reform a ‘proto-fascist’ party and it’s the sign of a proper moron. Post-edit: I misinterpreted this post!

SouthGOAT 😂 In all seriousness, being at that game was just mental and I went just as crazy celebrating that goal than Torp’s FA Cup “goal” v Man U.

This is a wind up, 100%. What are you basing this on? He didn't play v Andorra x 2 and Senegal which were objectively the worst performance we've seen in a long time. This attitude has echoes of the people criticising Kane in 2024 if at all serious. Bellingham is a 'clutch' performer and our...

Out of curiosity, what are people's thoughts on what the starting team will look like going into the world cup? I'd probably go with the following, in a 4-2-3-1: Pickford James Guehi Stones Lewis-Skelly Rice Anderson Saka Bellingham Gordon Kane People need to stop thinking of Rice as a...

Why not try Stones there in any case? He's played there for Man City with distinction. Anderson has staked a claim and as have others. One 5-0 win over Serbia doesn't change the majority of the team that has proven itself in the last 3 tournaments. The football under Tuchel has been more turgid...

It’s obvious that I’m arguing against the laws themselves. It’s apparent that Duffer is happy for people to tweet ‘punch a fascist’ but not ‘punch a trans woman in the balls’. If you want to criminalise all violent speech, go ahead and do that. If you want to apply said rules only to people you...

The law has proscribed a Palestine Action a terrorist organisation. As @fernandopartridge has pointed out, arrests have spiked. As it’s the law, clearly they’re all terrorists who deserved to be arrested and/or charged, right? With free speech, you apply the principle to all or you don’t...

In fairness, Serbia were much higher up the pitch as soon as they went a goal behind. Andorra, Albania and Latvia almost didn’t care when they went 1-0 down because it was a game that was complete ‘damage control’ mode. We need a MIGA (Make Internationals Great Again) movement and completely...

Super encouraging performance today! Perhaps Tuchel’s system is optimised for games where the opposition will occasionally attack! Still a lot more to come because we’ve not seen a ‘full strength’ England side under Tuchel yet.

The phrase used is ‘credible’ threats. What that means exactly is open to debate which is why it can be argued the rules aren’t enforced with uniformity. In politics, perceptions often matter more than the reality.

Which is reasonable as that’s the only speech that can cause “harm”. The people defending this with the line ‘it’s the law’ seem to not identify that the problem is the laws themself. They could easily be weaponised to prosecute people in other ways.

As you should be, my fundamental premise that when it comes to freedom of speech, all speech is protected. It’s perverse that speech, at any level, can be punished harsher than actual violent crimes.

I’d wait until this has played out properly because Lucy Connolly is supposedly considering legal action against the police. The jist of it being that a) the misrepresented what she said to the CPS and b) manipulated her into pleading guilty. A police corruption unit is investigating statements...

Without getting into the nitty gritty, she was encouraged to plead guilty. Whichever way you look at things, 31 months sentencing for a nasty racist tweet cannot outweigh sentences being passed to genuinely violent criminals. That is a perverse way to organise your justice system.

Its YouTube views (39k) was about half the total Green Party membership (65k). The first guest, Ash Sarkar (Novara) has a reasonably large following (400k+ on Twitter).

Zack Polanski was asked about Graham Linehan who tweeted about punching a trans woman ‘in the balls’. He said it was proportionate that he was arrested for that which is just bonkers. To circle back to Lucy Connolly, what she said was awful but 31 months for a racist tweet when violent...

I’d like to know what % of listeners were non-Green party members.

With respect to Kamala Harris, she was clearly unable to speak about Her campaign paid 160k ish to the ‘Call Me Daddy’ podcast to set up a studio for her appearance. Joe Rogan accused the Harris campaign team of messing him about with the location of the podcast and supposedly would only do...
