what a fucking bint

The Guardian talking absolute bollocks for a change

Someone was arrested for holding up a sign saying ‘Abolish the Monarchy’ when the royal train went past ffs.

Both

It was pointed out on here recently that Sunderland didn’t even exist (whereas Newcastle was a major city) at the time of the English Civil War

I’m blocked by him on Twitter but has William Storey got anything to say about all this?

Sounds like something you’d catch ‘off the toilet seat’.

It wasn’t really meant as a defence of him on my part, as he’s an ‘environmentalist’ who flies everywhere but it would be a good start. Given once it’s reduced it’s not going to be expanded again.

Supposed to be in favour of reducing the costs of the royal family too

Ken Bigley was an odd minute’s silence like. I get the circumstances of his death were horrific of course. He’d lived abroad for years though and was even warned (to the extent his security guard quit) that he was being watched and targeted where he lived. But stayed because he was getting a fortune. I’m not sure how he was deemed more worthy of one than actual British servicemen killed in Iraq at the same time

Erm, will there not be two minutes silence before the games anyway, whenever they resume? I don’t think they’ve thought this through. Not that I agree with it anyway.

If there was even a hint of normality and objective comment about the whole thing then paying £12m she didn’t earn to prevent her paedo son from having to appear in court would cast a massive shadow over everything else she did. As I think Renton mentioned that’s been completely airbrushed out of history. I agree about the gaslighting re: the public mood too. My parents were born at the end of / just after the war and even in my mam’s case (who believes most of what she reads in the Mail) she just thinks it’s a bit sad but the queen had a good innings. My dad isn’t affected one way or the other and doesn’t have any strong feelings about the monarchy in general. At work we’ve had numerous emails from senior civil servants about looking after ourselves at this extremely distressing time etc. Most of my colleagues are understandably more concern with the government plan to reduce the workforce by 90,000. The next step will be branding any strike action (nurses being balloted now in what would be unprecedented iirc) ‘unpatriotic’ at this time. While it’s scary how many actually lap this shit up it’s even scarier how the majority who clearly don’t are being told what to think / how to feel

Jesus wept

@wykikitoon There’s some vomit-inducing coverage on 5Live presented by Adrian Chiles atm if you’re interested 👍🏻

Harold Shipman is looking canny

NUFC.com reckons it should be confirmed early in the week.

I’m going to give that one a miss

A couple of ex-forces people I know reasonably well absolutely lap up all the conspiracy shit. One of them still thinks the covid vaccine is some kind control thing. This despite not being vaccinated, having covid last winter and being absolutely wiped out with if for weeks. She’s also thick as mince like.

Please let this happen, purely for the reaction

We told you they were canned

Downside is I talk about stuff like this

How soon the biblical accounts and the non-biblical ‘contemporary’ accounts were written is disputed. But I think the general consensus is they’re all at least decades later. That’s a whole different argument though. I’m not saying they did or didn’t exist anyway. The specific point was the story about Joseph of Arimathaea coming to England being akin to an Arthurian legend. I had a quick look and it doesn’t appear in literature until the 13th century. None of the early accounts that have survived mention him coming to England. So I don’t really think something written over a millennium after something was meant to have happened qualifies as reliable historical evidence.

It’s difficult to see how he survives it. He’s absolutely fucked Russian economic interests. Which you would think is the main concern of the corrupt cunts propping him up.

I’m convinced by the highly professional graphics employed if nothing else

That’s just like King Arthur though, isn’t it? I.e. medieval stories written centuries after the events were meant to have taken place. Although similar pretty much applies to the whole of the bible
