This is what this World Cup is going to be like isn't it, no crowd noise, Twatterface constantly talking crap, Dixon being the most miserable bastard alive, like Covid football all over again
I think British people actually enjoy eating bad food; it's some kind of performative modesty thing, like good food would be extravagant, and also they take pride in the grit required to get it down
It sure does, the poor fucking bastards working in retail, that drive you to work, that make your coffee, that wipe your ass, that clean your home have to put up with it every day
The mental gymnastics some American leftists (and some Brits!) are performing to convince themselves a guy with a Nazi tattoo is being smeared because he professes to share their politics are mindblowing, even by recent, modern standards.
I felt like this once, that you need to confront and detail by detail debunk the claims of people like Vance. But it doesn't work. You can't convince people who are already predisposed to believing the kind of bullshit he sets out here. You cannot defeat startling ignorance.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
I call BS.
The facts are these:
Henry Nowak told officers he'd been stabbed. He told them he couldn't breathe. An officer replied, “I don't think you have, mate”. They dragged him along the ground and handcuffed him. He died before anyone called an ambulance.
No DEI course teaches you to ignore a dying man. Officers have a duty to assess injured persons, call for medical assistance, and not take one party's word as gospel. They failed on all three.
This is incompetence repackaged as ideological victimhood. “DEI made us feel certain ways” shifts anger from officers who let a teenager die onto a culture-war target. That's their defence strategy.
Henry told them he was dying. They didn't listen. They didn't follow protocol. That's a conduct and skill problem, not a DEI problem.
Do think we need to start with a minimum 30-year-term for cases like these, sentences that will leave people like this guy and the murderer of Henry Nowak with potentially 40+ years of freedom (and I know they will need to be granted parole, life licence et al) aren't enough.
22-year-old scaffolder Chas Corrigan has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years & six months for murdering an innocent Saudi student by stabbing him in the neck with a kitchen knife outside student accommodation in Cambridge in August 2025
It was caught on CCTV🧵
i’m seeing music being described as fun more and more lately to excuse how bad it is and honestly i think a song being bad takes all the fun and enjoyment out of it
It was insulting as fuck 15 years ago for police, MPs and journos to pretend that the cops were too afraid of the Woke Stasi to do their jobs properly, and it’s worse now, after said MPs and journos spent much of the intervening period actively rehabilitating far right politics.
so there was this guy you never heard of who's just died quite young, cancer at 62. the politico/media class is united in singing his praises, how his perspicacious analysis of Britain's situation informed all recent governments of whatever complexion. >>
Ah yes, Keir Starmer personally intervened to ensure a stupid racist who has continued to be both stupid and racist since her release from prison for advocating the murder of asylum seekers was jailed
