Arsenal fan, south Londoner. I really don’t like Thatcher, still. Machine gun socialist. I demand champagne. The profile is me and my good chums the Ambiguous Dance Company. Larger picture is what socialism gets you.

I intended on ex-Twitter to do a thread of my favourite YouTube creators, but it felt a bit pretentious over there, I don’t know why. So I’m doing one now, and will constantly update when I remember each channel.
When these people release videos I watch them, always.

In no particular order:
International away fans are adrenaline junkies who expect a hit once every twenty years or so. But when they do get a hit, oh boy.

Jenrick had been on Nick’s show, JOB said that had he had the privilege of interviewing RJ, he would have reviewed record on accidental prisoner release, NF part of media regime that didn’t give a hoot re: prisoner clangers when the Tories were in power. A v peeved centralist sensiblist indeed.

Shots fired! I bet NF always listens to this bit while he’s packing away his flask.

What Labour should do is go hard on tax. Tax the shit out of the rich, out of assets, out of capital gains, let the media scream about it for the next two to three years. Then they should radically reduce income tax at the poor end in the last year when hopefully they can afford it.

This is absolutely a must win for the Gunners, sort game we must insist on taking three points from. Three points and good day to you. Next. Champion behaviour. Model it! #Arsenal

So if British football thugs get banned from an away match all politicians in this country would support that I believe, with gusto. But foreign football thugs must must must be welcomed here. It’s a bit ‘through the looking glass’ isn’t it?

It’s kinda touching to see Brits complain so much about the price of olive oil.

Maybe there’s an earache epidemic.

Inner London will feel practically childless in 15 years. 50 years of class war has sterilised the city.

He said he had the tallest building in downtown rather than the whole city, and he didn’t in fact have the tallest building anyway.

Who is both-siding it? No one.

Who is using it to further their right wing agenda? Right wingers (this is on Starmer etc).
You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

I think Alien: Earth made a lot of weird missteps but I enjoyed it. Some odd dialogue. Pedestrian staging when monsters not about. Island never felt like a real place.

Far right are well into self-ID it turns out. Also policing peoples’ language. And claiming to be the most put-upon people on earth. Demanding we use only their preferred language to tell about them even when we talk among ourselves, to boot.

If you’ve ever traveled around the egress of a premier league match or in the current of a mob headed to a Wembley concert, and felt the strain: the #UKPride #UKGBNI+ mob world have us believe that they attracted 50 Arsenal home games to the march yesterday 🤔

If a job’s worth doing, just get on with it we’re not here for a chit-chat.
