Not Dave McCave.

Usually happily grumpy, sometimes grumpily happy.
It's a very specifically worded non-denial.

Sidling up to someone of Jewish heritage and saying "Hitler was right" isn't "directly racially abusing anybody".

All the reporting could be entirely accurate while not being covered by this "denial".

Onions are like assholes. Everybody has one.

"Rick Against Racism But Not Allowed To Oppose Genocide" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Peaceful pro-Palestine protest: hundreds of arrests.

Violent anti-immigrant protest: 25 arrests.

And the violent people are the ones complaining about a two-tier justice system.

I don't feel bad for them. I think it's hilarious.

I grew up in Belfast and we called it Belfast Lightning.

Cos you'd ring the bell and run as fast as lightning.

What I think of Kier Starmer has nothing to do with whether he's from a working class background or not.

I'm not sure standing up to Trump would save him from being subjected to "heated political words".

And in that case there's a much higher risk they would be followed up with "heated political violence".

Aye, I heard somewhere that his Da was a toolmaker. Do you know if that's true?

So you think Glastonbury should be investigating comments made by Bob Vylan and Kneecap to the police?

It also shows that Labour aren't going to win over Reform voters.

So they need to stop pandering to those voters.

It's so clearly this. I don't even understand why anyone is posting any other suggestion.

See, everybody keeps talking like this is a happy story. But now Goliath can't use his "None. That I know of" line when the other turtles ask him how many kids he has.

And he's been using that line ever since Mark Twain gave it to him at the publication party for Tom Sawyer, Detective in 1896.

Imagine how disappointed those 200,000 people who turned up half an hour later were.

So the DUP have been striking the flames and are now scrambling to absolve themselves of any blame now that it's burning out of control?

That's only happened multiple times in the past, so maybe we shouldn't be so quick to blame them for doing it again.

I saw Jim Alister on TV last night making excuses for it.

That old saying about getting the politicians you deserve continues to ring true.

I don't like audiobooks. I just don't absorb what's being read to me as readily as I would if I was reading it myself.

But that's entirely personal. I would never cast shade at people who do like, or even prefer, audiobooks.

I also think Amol Rajan is a bellend. Again, entirely personal.
