RV

A sequence of tricks designed to convince of a personality. But they are good tricks. In the real world, I recruit people. That won't come up.

For ease... I'm relatively certain I'm the cosmopolitan Liberal intellectual elite your online forum warned you about.

Please do call me a Liberal or a progressive. I view them as positive, you view them as damning insults. We'll both feel better afterwards. Isn't that nice?

@trevorbaxendale Oh I want to know what it was now .....

@ZiaYusufUK Please and thank you for the source of info?

There are multiple precedents that tech development houses, both maliciously and unintentionally, progress without moral compass or social considerations. So no, I don't and won't just trust you. You all have previous.

And while we are on it. Spontaneous protest is the formal description of any protest not pre lodged with the authorities.

Does something blatantly at least a bit organised being called spontaneous sound silly in demotic plain English? Yes.

But it's a distraction. Move on.

[RV @MrRV]

This is not left Vs right. This is refusing to accept any opinion even SLIGHTLY contrary to your own is acceptable.

And it's killing us.

[RV @MrRV]

Violent protest and the implicit menace of mask wearing protest is wrong, regardless of the cause.

I accept the above is a potentially privileged, naive position. But also the perfectly acceptable way of resolving the meaningless debate masking the issue actually going on.

The wonderful
@patryecart
gave us the single coolest moment of classic Who when taking a sip of coffee before starting CPR (among many many great performances) and now is a brilliantly sweary sane voice on X. More power to his elbow.

@DrMatthewSweet I would hope he would....but given his and Lee Anderson's track record....I'd never rely on it ever occurring to them sadly.

[RV @MrRV]

@ZiaYusufUK I think I do.

Question is, given the unhinged nature of this tweet...do you?

You okay, Hun?

[RV @MrRV]

@DrMatthewSweet What terrifies me are the small percentage of replies (including from formal Reform accounts) justifying the violence.

Increasingly, man delights not me.

@RadioTimes I mean, Terrance got it right - "Never cruel, never cowardly".

Stages in a Reform scandal:

1. This is a hit-job from the left / the establishment
2. We didn't do anything wrong, it's a hoax
3. There's a recording? Well, we didn't break any laws
4. We're going to hold an internal investigation
5. People who aren't Nigel Farage resign
6. Nigel Farage says the matter is closed

@carolecadwalla Pleas tell me that you or someone has grabbed and trademarked the title "Russian Doll of Self Owns" for a chronicle of Western populist politics in the last 15 years.!

[RV @MrRV]

@puert50160 There are any number of nuances which a single post response from me couldn't cover, so please forgive my simplicity when I say "History suggests in most cases that is true for bit, and then it abruptly stops being true." It also depends on interpretation of democracy.

@Nicklezard Just missread your X/Twitter tag as Nickel Wizard.

Whilst incorrect, I now have my new prog rock band name.

Thank you (and thank you for Down and Out, always a great read). Hope you are rubbing along well enough!

[RV @MrRV]

Reform(ed) is what people are supposed to be after they have been punished for criminal acts....not what they call themselves while committing them.

But it turns out that doesn't stop them.

[RV @MrRV]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahah

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Ah-ha..hahaha.

Oh well played @Channel4News, well played. Bravo.

I'll take "How to state you are performative 'Christian' rather than follower of the core tenets of Christianity without saying so" for $100 dollars please.

Can't be kind? Can't be Christian. Sorry.

[Jon Elder @BlackLabelAdvsr]

Dolly Parton is most likely in Hell.

She is a tragic example of what life looks like claiming to be a Christian but never truly making Jesus Lord of your life.

She described God less in strict theological terms and more as a universal energy, saying in a 1980 Parade interview that God is "a feelin' within you" and a "greater, higher energy" present in everyone. WRONG.

She was also a massive supporter of the satanic LGBTQ+ movement…

She was a universalist. Basically she believed all humans would make it to heaven. Her worst belief was that there was inherent good within humans.

She embraced immodesty, liberal social justice movements, and quit going to church decades ago.

Sadly, she found out today that Jesus is in fact, Lord over all creation, including her. She had no excuse. She knew the gospel but chose to reject it.

Jesus said these terrifying words: “Many will come to me and say Lord Lord look at what I did for you! I will respond and say I never knew you.”

May that never be you.

Turn to Christ today in full repentance of your sin.

Get plugged into a local church and start enjoying the fruit of true Christianity and a close relationship with God!

True inner peace awaits you. Please don’t repeat Dolly’s eternal mistake.

Your soul is on the line.

[RV @MrRV]

@thenicolabryant So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and yours.

@dechambeezy @JohnCleese It wasn't an intentional straw man, but I ended up presenting as one to keep to one post. I felt I was responding to a straw man myself argument to be honest.

X is naturally a medium which encourages the straw man. Will try and make my nuance clearer in future. Thanks.
