Funny how he keeps cropping up here,
crowing about things that will line his pockets,
before the journalists leap in to defend him.
Well, well, well.

Would you look who it is warning of "doom" if you don't invest in the world's most dangerous financial bubble ever.

I also saw this in an article in nymag.com - how fucking depressing is this?

Shopify run ads on the Arsecast, but I will be informing Acast to immediately cease any further campaigns with them.

The middle class love showing off and reminding disabled people what is out of reach for most of us. Even before I was unable to work full time, I couldn't afford to have the sort of job this prick has, I decided to spend my life looking after peope and that doesn't pay quite as well as skiing.

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.

In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.

Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

Nah I’m done funding this bullshit. They made their bed.
In many ways, this is not about the BBC. The BBC is symbolic - and symptomatic - in a much deeper and broader political battle. We must defend the BBC now in order not to lose that battle.

How you choose to reform the BBC to make it better in the long term is a separate question entirely.

UK electricity bills up 163% since 2008. Wages haven't.

Profit last year £30bn. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty.

No govt checks profiteering.

This Labour government have been lying about the welfare bill in order to cut welfare for vulnerable people. They’ve fabricated a lie that it’s spiralling out of control, when in reality it’s actually normal.

Labour and Starmer are just as bad as the Tories, if not worse. Pure evil.

Someone might want to ask how the people with FBPE in their profiles, are now ideologically and politically equal to Farage,
on everything, except the EU.

My proudest moment as an Arsenal supporter was when Alexandre Lacazette (and his teammates) knelt in front of the Slavia Prague players, who refused to do the same, after one of their players had racially abused Rangers player Glen Kamara in the previous match.

Corners - bad and the laws need tightening.

Elbowing players in the head - good and within the laws of the game.

Getting near xenophobic shit from elderly relatives who are terrified about asylum seekers, based entirely on something from the BBC is really making me sick.
"For reasons that have nothing to do with informing, educating and entertaining, but are likely instead about some team’s target stats, the BBC decided to actively tell millions of people they should be frightened by asylum seekers. Brilliant work."

On the one hand she’s entirely correct,
On the other hand she’s a member of the most openly transphobic, racist, Islamaphobic and antisemitic British government in history,
so fuck her.
Dawn Butler was ordered to leave the commons when she called a lying Prime Minister a liar - now the deputy speaker tells her that you can’t call a racist a racist - grotesque protection of the worst people while the decent are hung up to dry

The “appalled by racist Reform woman but would never join the Green Party because she is too much of a socialist - and so she is staying in the Island of Strangers Party” post went down well.
It’s precisely because I am a proper socialist and progressive I would never do such a thing ….

If Keir starmer really wants to prove he’s not antisemitic he’ll riot with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Anything less he may as well be Hamas.

Sadly you aren't the only one. There isn't a Western country that hasn't been compromised by Israeli interests. But apparently watching a genocide is not enough for people to rise up. So we wait until the killing moves here...and it will. It always does.
The British state has been captured completely by Israeli interests. As we speak they are looking to reverse a police order banning violent Israeli football fans from a match. While other European countries are pretending they were always against the genocide, the Uk is doubling down. I'm so ashamed
