I don't understand why it's so hard. It's not like their whole careers would fall apart if they admit getting something wrong ffs, I mean there's no consequence to anything they do anyway. But it's not just politicians, people in general in this country are now so fucking precious that they can't handle being wrong about anything. I've repeatedly read comments in the Guardian in the past few days (the Guardian is now pro-Brexit incidentally, following Labour into the breach, and therefore churning out articles about how the mess we find ourselves in is all the fault of Remainers - presumably having identified that to get leavers back on side, they need to start indulging in the same make believe reality as their hoped for audience) stating that angry Remainers who constantly criticise and point out the flaws of the Brexiteer arguments are "the reason" this is all happening. And like, just fucking think about that statement. There is a large body of people in this country so fucking delicate that if someone calls them out for being wrong, calls them stupid for believing something completely devoid of evidence be it COVID related, Brexit related, whatever - they're so weak that if this happens they immediately dig their heels in and vote for it anyway out of what... spite? And this is what these people themselves are telling us they're doing. If you vote for something because the other side called you stupid for holding some demonstrably stupid views, then you're not a rational adult who should vote, you're a child. And I'm sorry to say the entire right wing of the country is now stained with this weak, pitiful childishness.4 points

Aye, the BBC news are fucking great at looking at other countries problems in a critical way at times but then it goes all North Korea at the ruling government here in comparison.3 points

They're the Man U of the 3rd division, everyone's cup final so it would be rude to abandon their new mates down there. It's the kind of selfless act a classy club would do unlike the universally disliked Mag rabble up the road. FTM.3 points

If this is anything to go by then he’s going to come out of the meeting having signed us up for the SM and CU.2 points

Let's not forget Remainers were also completely hamstrung by having Corbyn in charge of the opposition, the useless cunt. He was probably keener on Brexit than Johnson if everyone let their true feelings be known. A competent opposition leader and we would be in a much different place now2 points

Amen to that. He has a lot of interesting things to say, most of which I agree with. Unfortunately, he let’s himself down by saying everything in the most irritating and condescending manner possible. He could be telling me that I’d won the lottery and I’ll still want spark the little fucker out.2 points

The CU options were and are utter shite, they won't solve the friction problems that will wreck our economy. In a 52 48 referendum people should have had the option to vote on whether we should stay in the SM or not, something promised by many Brexiters including Hannon and Farage. But instead we went straight down the hard Brexit route from day one. I remember you called me a "hard" remainer, even though aftwe the referendum I wanted to leave the EU but retain EEA status through EFTA or similar. Seems if you're not a hard core Brexiter you have to be a have to be an "ultra remainer" then? The reality is the country has undergone a de facto coup facilitated by Brexit, to even think of blaming remainers is ludicrous. Leavers lied in the referendum. Leavers won the referendum. Leavers got in a PM who unilaterally went for hard Brexit. Leavers won a GE. Leavers negotiated the WA. Leavers voted against the WA. Leavers selected the king of leavers as PM. Leaver PM expunged the tory party of all remainers. Leaver PM negotiated another WA, made MPs swear an oath on it. Leavers won another GE by a landslide. Leavers did trade deal, or not, as case may be. Yet its all remainers fault! 😜 Owen Jones is a snivelling shit fishing for bites btw. Can't stand him.2 points

That's my take, yes. It looks like it's very effective at preventing hospitalisation and death, which surely are the most important outcomes. It is 70% effective at preventing milder disease. It's not known if it reduces transmission but I'd bet my house it does. It's cheap and can be stored in a fridge. Each vaccine will have their place but this one is massively important imo.2 points

Don't know enough about the Black Lives Matter organisation to say if it is, or isn't a anarcho/Marxist radical group, but surely saying the words "Black Lives Matter" doesn't mean you're a card-carrying member of that group. Surely it just means that you believe that black lives matter?2 points

It was tongue in cheek but saying they can’t comment is essentially saying you can’t either. I tend to think it’s ‘mild’ racism or (at best) unconscious bias on the part of the official. ‘Black lad’ is the type of phrase I might have used in the past but I wouldn’t use it now. If it slipped out and offended someone I would probably be horrified and would certainly be very apologetic rather than trying to use the cultural excuse the official did. But surely it’s good it’s discussed. You’re essentially closing down the debate by saying they can’t comment on what is or isn’t racist. Comparing them / justifying that using the example of people who are clearly racist on social media isn’t exactly helpful either imo. You know they are not like that too. And while I recognise what you’re saying about racism becoming more ‘acceptable’ in some ways in society, at the same time the comments wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow not too long ago2 points

Yeah, no remainers have been involved in all the various iterations of the talks to get a deal with the EU. Neither have they been involved in formulating transition agreements. They haven’t been part of the government’s preparations for importing goods, exporting them or control of the borders in general. They haven’t promised the Earth then claimed it was never the case when it was clear those promises were completely baseless. They haven’t repeatedly lied. They haven’t been prepared to throw away everything in order to protect a tiny, economically virtually meaningless (and ultimately unsustainable) fishing industry. They haven’t ignored facts and favoured jingoistic notions of British exceptionalism. They haven’t kept changing their minds about why they voted the way they did and they haven’t kept moving the goalposts. They didn’t want this and haven’t taken responsibility for it and they haven’t childishly blamed the people who aren’t responsible for it. Clearly to blame for all this having done nothing to get Brexit done2 points

I’d have a tiny shred of respect for them* if just once, one of these lickspittle fuckers would just admit that they got something wrong. * I wouldn’t, they’re rancid scum, but you get my point.2 points

It’s always about Piers Morgan but I think my point was it’s jarring he’s one of the only ones prepared to ask incredibly incompetent politicians anything like hard questions or to put them on the spot. Kuenssberg and Marr might as well be working for number 102 points

Don't think it makes you sound like a snowflake. I think the unity of this approach was part of the appeal - ie. Everyone doing it together regardless of your background or experiences. Of course certain people will feel more strongly about issues that may have affected them or those around them directly but if it's only those in that position it will become divisive more than inclusive. Even if some knackers are only doing it for show, better that than open up the potential for more ire and outrage over who is or isn't participating.2 points

They must be pleased that they are now an established League One side and don’t have to worry about relegation or punching above their weight2 points

I just saw we all missed a big milestone for the tramps down the road, their last game was their 100th in League One since relegation to it! Congrats to the ownership for their success and here’s to many, many more League One matches.2 points

hmmm.... penelope cruz has completely lost her appeal to me since reading that rtg hard man reiver had burst her back door in whilst bodyguarding her on her private yacht at the cannes film festival. not only that, she'd revealed to him during the subsequent pillow talk the impending takeover by dell. or so he claimed. anyway, even if there's the slightest of possibilities he's telling big fibs, he's tarnished penelope forever. I stick with the timeless beauty of salma hayek for my fix of dusky latina babes these days!2 points

It’s not that long ago when it was ok to say ‘coloured’ but not black.Didn’t that FA bloke get sacked for saying ‘coloured players’ ’ but if he’d said ‘players of colour’ he wouldn’t have lost his job? Last night Ba was correct to go off it with the official mind.Times have changed .1 point

Aye, well they only go on there because they’ve been shamed into it because of the amount of viewers and how the government refused to go on for so long. You’re right though. Given how badly Coronavirus and Brexit has been handled it’s a damning indictment of the state of journalism that he’s one of the few who’ll do his job properly. The BBC focuses more on Trump’s handling of the pandemic than Johnson and Co.’s1 point
