    [–] Brexit, Actually -smrt- 2 points ago in LabourUK

    This is so embarrassing. Seeing Tory propaganda every time I open youtube has got old fast.

    Sure, it would be great to have a Tory majority in parliament. What could go wrong???

    But people buy into this crap and that the most depressing thing of all.

    [–] I fucking hate The S*n. -smrt- 2 points ago in LabourUK

    I don't find it snobbish to observe that there is a great deal of ignorance among the general public, including the working class. It is an almost inevitable consequence of a media landscape that is so corrupt.

    It should not be considered an attack to say that someone is ignorant. If you are not aware of the relevant information, you are objectively ignorant and that is a problem for which there needs to be some solution. The left needs to learn to get its message out to people a lot better. I just wish I knew how to do that.

    [–] EXCLUSIVE: Leak of emails and audio from Labour HQ expose ongoing Corbyn “lies” on antisemitism Man who called for “extermination” of all Jews not expelled for 10 months. Holocaust deniers let off Party lawyers secretly warn: Corbyn reforms so badly drafted they may be illegal -smrt- 1 points ago in LabourUK

    So is any of this real? The text is too small for me to read.

    [–] From a young Conservative member, I don't think Corbyn is Anti-Semitic -smrt- 2 points ago in LabourUK

    I'm not convinced that the reality of the situation has any bearing on how the right wing press covers Corbyn.

    I think his chances of becoming Prime Minister were always going to be devastated by the establishment's objection to socialism. If he had managed things perfectly, he would still be smeared just as much. Reality just does not matter to a large proportion of British voters unfortunately.

    [–] I’m confused, there’s nothing in the right picture? -smrt- 1 points ago in notliketheothergirls

    She is naked under her clothes so that's probably why she got that one share.

    [–] I’m confused, there’s nothing in the right picture? -smrt- 129 points ago in notliketheothergirls

    Who would even share a naked woman?

    Ted Cruz.

    [–] Frankie Boyle... Slays me every time. -smrt- 7 points ago in LabourUK

    Not odd at all; it communicates exactly what he intended it to. He is not a sadist so he does not perform actions that cause harm to others for no good reason.

    You can disagree that voting Tory amounts to causing harm on the population for no good reason, but that is the message he is communicating. This message is in line with every other political message I've heard from him.

    [–] "Jeremy Corbyn supported the IRA!" 1. No, he condemned them 2. The Tories were in coalition with DUP 3. DUP are linked to UVF/UDA 4. Tory Councillor Maria Gatland was in the IRA 5. Tories sell bombs to the Saudis who arm ISIS Don't bring that Corbyn terrorist shit near me! -smrt- 13 points ago in LabourUK

    I don't see much moral difference between committing violence against civilians for political purposes and allowing violence against civilians for financial purposes.

    I don't believe you get a pass because you're not the one who pulls the trigger. If you know those weapons will be used to target civilians, whether in the hands of Saudi military or other terrorist groups, it's your moral responsibility not to sell those weapons. The only reason it's not viewed as totally heinous is because it's part of the status quo.

    [–] My cousin's going off the deep end :( -smrt- 12 points ago in ForwardsFromKlandma

    She had the temerity to suggest that Muslims do not all bear responsibility for the terrorist attack and the loss of their civil liberties was not justified by a different group of Muslims carrying out that attack.

    [–] Alex Wickham on Twitter: "Johnson confirms he is rejecting Neil interview. Senior Con source: 'The public are fed up with interviews that are all about the interviewer and endless interruptions. The format is tired and broken'" -smrt- 1 points ago in LabourUK

    No shame. No shame whatsoever.

    [–] FWD : such an honorable man -smrt- 7 points ago in forwardsfromgrandma

    The first three words are spot on.

    [–] Sorry if repost but F to my man -smrt- 1 points ago in sadcringe

    I think you mean "a cheap prostitute" unless I've been getting screwed.

    [–] Pictures from The Spectator garden party. The BBC are so....utterly tenacious in holding power to account! When the 3 leading BBC journalists are drinking at the Durham Miner's Gala i'll talk about 'impartiality'. -smrt- 10 points ago in LabourUK

    (BBC) journalists continue to be entirely too friendly with those they are supposedly employed to hold to account.

    It's not the most egregious example but these people we pay to tell us the truth should not be stenographers to power.

    If they could socialise with powerful politicians and remain objective when they're at work, that could be considered ok, but from what we see with the BBC, that is not what's happening. Their coverage, shockingly enough, favours the powerful people they hang out with. And this is ignoring the speeches they are apparently paid to give to the sort of groups that fund the Tory Party.

    [–] Well, that’s one interpretation of T2 -smrt- 1 points ago in sadcringe

    Glad you enjoyed the movie!

    It's not Donald who's corrupt. It's the voters. The voters, I tell ya!

    [–] John Legend’s cover of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is fucking ridiculous -smrt- 2 points ago in unpopularopinion

    At times it really seems like it is. It's not funny enough to be comedy. It's not serious enough not to be. It's some kind of bizarre cross-breed.

    [–] John Legend’s cover of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is fucking ridiculous -smrt- 3 points ago in unpopularopinion

    Oh yes, look at this popular pop song that everyone is talking about. Did it get to #1 or #2 in the charts? I forget.

    [–] Fwd: fwd: UK left wing politicians are the worst! It was attached as a screenshot -smrt- 6 points ago in forwardsfromgrandma

    He's so immoral he won't even sell weapons to our friends the Saudis.

    [–] Facism = A slight difference in values?? -smrt- 3 points ago in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

    Souls aren't real and fascism has an s in it.

    [–] U.K. Labour Leader Corbyn Would Stop Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia -smrt- 6 points ago in LabourUK

    Britain's Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Sunday he would stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen if he wins an election this month.

    Does this seem slightly concerning to anyone else? How can we know which arms would be used in Yemen and which would not?

    It seems more reliable to me to blacklist the human rights abusers and not allow any arms sales to Saudi Arabia at all. I appreciate the effort though.

    "lol".

    [–] Usman Khan was sentenced for serious terror offence in Feb 2012. Thought to be so dangerous by judge he was given IPP sentence to prevent release if still serious threat. Instead he was released 6 yrs later without Parole Board assessment. How cd this be allowed to happen? ...1 | Yvette Cooper -smrt- 1 points ago in LabourUK

    Although I agree with the sharing of this information, I would encourage people not to use the name or images of terrorists as this fame encourages further terrorism.

    [–] Ooh... -smrt- 20 points ago in sadcringe

    Or... I'll let you know when it happens.

    [–] Hot take from The Guardian: left and right are the exact same -smrt- 3 points ago in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

    Goddamn, I can't keep up with their fascist-style exploits. They need to put it all in a newsletter or something.

    They don't even bother to hide it any more. That's what is shocking me. I think they have taken inspiration from Trump in that it's very difficult for the opposition to rally around a scandal if you have multiple scandals a day. And on the other hand, Corbyn and Labour are smeared with the same thing on a daily basis, which makes it stick.

    For anyone interested.
