1/6 Anyone else intrigued by Rishi’s choice of paintings? What is he trying to tell us? Can we guess what will be in the spending review from his taste in art? A thread:
Nothing sums up Maradona better than the streets of Naples. Every working-class district has its homage to him, decades after he left Napoli. The People’s Champ.
@IggMusic Absolutely. So many replies as I read one of your tweets and found the content shocking, so I scrolled through your earlier posts to see if that was a mistaken/ironic mis-tweet. Clearly, I am sad that it was not, but I am more than happy to have a dialogue about just why that is
@IggMusic Self preservation requires energy & spirit to avoid harm to one’s self; the clue is in the word ‘preservation’ (to protect), which is an active not a passive process. Ergo: to limply protect is an impossibility; whereas to lamely self-deflect (as you prove here) is very possible
@IggMusic The latter part of this statement would be wonderful if it applied to you, though you no doubt would assert that you are the evolved, finished product of future-thinking and are unlikely to be enlightened as to the irony implicit in your entire tweet
@IggMusic The definition of a ‘jihad’ is to strive or struggle with a praiseworthy aim; these attacks are not a struggle and they are not praiseworthy; ergo, they are not a jihad.
@IggMusic The only person playing the victim round here is you Ian; it must be terrifying having all these trans children, articulate black women and civilised people having the decency to wear masks to prevent the spread of a virus attacking your fragile ego on a daily basis
@IggMusic A mask is designed to control the amount of germs a person can respirate into the environment and inhale themselves; ergo, a mask is a tool of control, and your argument is invalid
