Steve Bannon is behind everything.

Do you understand what the bolded words mean?

I'm just waiting to find out that Steve Bannon and his like have been beavering away on FaceCunt to promote it.

Who's gonna tell that Twitter cunt that the BBC has a massive bias against the left wing, and so they should be desperate to keep it going to support their agenda? I assume they're thick as pig shit and won't work it out for themselves anytime soon.

From PMQs today:

QuoteCorbyn says, when he hears a PM talking about difficult decisions, the poorest lose out. He says the government labelled disabled people scroungers, and called those unable to work skivers. He says the government also created a hostile environment for the Windrush generation. The UN rapporteur said compassion for people had been replaced "punitive, mean-spirited and callous approach". He could not have summed up this "contemptible" government better.

Nail-on-head from Corbyn there.

May must be thinking "FFS, leave me alone just for a few minutes!"

Shoulders?-Stomach!

BBC stating Corbyn blew it and should have stuck to Brexit questions.

However they miss the point somewhat.

holyzombiejesus

Thing is, PMQs don't matter a jot, do they? I'm forever reading #FBPE bellends complaining that Corbyn doesn't mention Brexit yet week after week, he does. Then there are people asking why JC isn't attacking the tories yet each week he does that, and also on a nearly daily basis on Facebook.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

They are broadcast on the main news channels and snippets are fired off thousands of social media channels so I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

Their importance is overstated but it is one guaranteed way for an opposition leader to reach a mass audience.

My view is that social policy is getting buried under Brexit and while May is at her weakest it was good for Corbyn to remind people they are also doing an awfully bad job running the country in the background too.

I mean May literally said her idea of poverty is 'absolute poverty'. What an absolute fucking cunt.

And which comedy legend then tweeted that they should have shouted 'Squealer', which is the lovely not-homophobic-at-all nickname the right-wing trolls know him by?

Give you a clue - it wasn't Arthur Matthews!

Steve Bannon is behind nothing. He doesn't even exist.

This is easy.

Now now, he has since explained that it was a reference to Animal Farm and that you're a Harry Potter idiot child if you didn't know that.

Was it Barry Cryer?

Those cunts that Paulie is celebrating are allegedly the same that so bravely attacked that socialist bookshop.

I was going to suggest his brother Bernard Matthews, but then I remembered he does chickens, doesn't he, not pigs.

Am I still correct?

Buelligan

And Arthur Mullard does ducks (and is dead as a mouse).  Hope this helps

BTW, who else thought Corbyn was rather fantastic when he shouted at May yesterday during PMQs because she was smirking about poverty?  More kicking out the moneylenders please!  I know he's into respectful debate and he's right in that, but he does a great respectful growl.

greencalx

I know the bbc has dropped the debate offer now - is the itv one still open? On the assumption that May will bottle it I think Corbyn should just show up anyway and get the hour to himself.

The BBC are naturally spinning that Corbyn has bottled it after he snubbed their offer.

greencalx

And the consensus also seems to be that there will be no debate now that the BBC has pulled out - if I were Corbyn I'd be asking to appear on ITV whether or not May wants to or not.

olliebean

Seems to me this was in the nature of a scheme cooked up between the BBC and Downing Street (the BBC perhaps unwittingly, although it seems to be in their nature to favour collaboration with the establishment) to devise a format they knew would be unacceptable to Corbyn so May could avoid having to debate whilst blaming Corbyn for it.

Yes, that moment stood out for me, too, and it ought to be given the same wide media circulation afforded to Theresa May's dancing.

Dickensian cackling is not a good look for a prime minister.

Could see May quickly going "erk...oh shit yeah proles ahem: serious face"

Anyone would think that Corbyn might not actually care that we're leaving the EU.

You have already been exposed over and over as a troll.

But for old time's sake, he did a speech on the very subject on the same day.

Do you and Paulie fancy saying something actually challenging? I've had more trouble on coconut shys.

Jerzy Bondov

I'm so exasperated with the Brexit obsession now. Why shouldn't Corbyn highlight how fucking horrendous Conservative rule has been for the most disadvantaged people in society? Nick Robinson there referring to people starving and dying due to austerity as 'something else'. No no, you carry on working up a nice frothy wank over political games while people struggle to make ends meet.

One in five people living in poverty, fuck that, boring, what people really want to know about is how the government is in contempt of parliament, that's the really meaningful thing isn't it. You want to talk about contempt? What about Theresa May laughing? That's contempt. Dictionary definition.

Anyone who thinks the biggest thing to take from that PMQs isn't Theresa May openly laughing about people who can't feed their kids needs to get their head out of their arse and if they still can't see what's wrong after that then they should take that same head and put it into an industrial thresher.

The clever thing is, he got it reported by people who might just have ignored it.
