A lot of people agree with the Pub landlord that lockdowns are bad,

wonderful timing there.

Imagine being a sensible grown up in 2021 and still saying "magic grandpa".

Once Keith's gone I'll probably knock the "Keith" stuff on the head.

Aparrently Starmer wiped the landlord's glasses on his balls before handing them back to him. Legend.

The median wage was 26,000 in 2010 and is now under 25,000?
Median equivalised income is £30k now, in 2010 it was about £22k (not adjusted for inflation since[nb]About £28k, adjusting using CPIH.[/nb]).

The median full-time salary in 2010 was about £26k (not adjusted for inflation since).

What the fuck who's making all this money? If I earnt 26k in my life ever I'd consider myself rich as fuck!

There's massive geographic variation - London and the South East vs. the former-East-Germany-esque bits of Britain.

Novara tonight were contrasting Keith refusing to take lectures from pub cunt with Gordon Brown taking a lecture from that bigoted woman and then complaining about her when he thought he was off-mic.

Brown dealt with the bigoted women way better on camera, the hot mic was his boner. it does show how bad he is that Kier couldn't diffuse the situation, and ended up getting rattled. handing him his spectacles was an afterthought and also opened him to more shitty abuse from a mentalist.

if he had an ounce of charisma or anything he could've improv'd a speech like "these are all tough times, I see WHY you're frustrated, but this pandemic is very serious, and if anything, if the current government had followed (Jeremy Corbyn's) advice to lockdown earlier, we wouldn't have so many excess deaths and such a drawn out lockdown. and I, as Sirkier, am committed to recovering your economic independence as a small business etc"

instead he was like a hair away from just smacking him on the head, and them grappling and rolling around in the gutter

the "excuse me, car needs to get through" and they all move out of the way made me laugh.

What, favourably?

A little favourably I think, I wasn't paying very close attention tbh especially as I'd just had to skip through all the football stuff. They may just have been reporting what someone else had said about it.

I did notice Bastani tweeting very much Team Landlord earlier today. Seemed a bit opportunistic.

Or just visit Leeds and sit on the number 50 for a few hours.

I suspect he took them off to make a point (as you do), left them on a outside table, and Sir Keir was the chivalrous knight in handing them back, expecting redemption for his virtuous deed. and then was told get the fuck out of the pub

I thought they fell from the landlord when Keir's older, burlier brother rammed him into a staircase.

Remember a few weeks ago I showed you a comment from a mate of mine who took offence to me taking the piss out of Starmer on my Facebook page? It was a lengthy rant about how Labour were the only alternative to the government and if I liked protesting I should join the SWP. He was also sure that once people like me had left the party would find plenty of new members to take my place.

Rather a strange piece I thought. We've been friends since our teens and he knows fine well that I try to wind up people on my page all the time (although rather bizarrely the only posts that people have really objected to apart from that are ones about James Corden and Emlyn Hughes) but I didn't really take offence anyway (live by the sword etc) and he apologised, saying he was just frustrated at hearing bad things about Starmer.

Well, I saw him at the weekend and asked him if he'd be doing the door rounds for Labour in the forthcoming elections. He's not. He 'can't be arsed.' Now, he's been a loyal member for a long time and even though he personally had misgivings about Corbyn he still went out and did it. If the party's making people like him apathetic I think it could be in very big trouble.

Meanwhile, the other friend who joined Labour simply to vote for Starmer, had a go at me for saying I preferred RLB and then texted me saying it was 'great news' when he won, hasn't mentioned him at all this year, although we are in fairly regular contact. Buyer's remorse I suspect.

Starmer inspires apathy. You take one look at him and can tell that absolutely nothing is going to change other than seeing his fat ham face everywhere instead of the last cunt's.

He has to say that. History will show whether Rod is right or not. By the way as an investigative journalist can you get a medical person to look into claims of fibres within the blue disposable masks? If they are flatworm parasites what a story!

I saw that! Surely a wind up.

Don't call her Shirl... oh.

The theory that Starmer is there to kill any enthusiasm or passion built up during up the Corbyn years is pretty credible.

I mean, would anyone leave their house and go knocking on doors because of this man?



Paul Calf

Starmer is a professional buzzkill. Imagine that being your legacy: you destroyed the hope, optimism, drive and enthusiasm of millions of people, young and old with a vision of a better future for everyone, for the benefit of a few rich old cunts. A hyper-Corrigan.

I do wonder in these situations what the best way to react is, if leaving them be might be the better option, give enough info for them to see how they've been tricked without rubbing it in.

I get the sense a lot of more strident centralists on the net basically ended up in that situation and couldn't bare the hit to their ego, hence the extreme hostility to Corbyn, a man who consistently punctured the fantasy world they didn't want to leave.

Keith should have challenged the landlord to a shoe throwing competition.
