Just an average middle-aged, lefty, gay, woke, trans-allied, inclusive, unbigoted Mancunian. Hate racists, hate Terfs, hate Reform Ltd. Fan of the mute button.
@ConUltrac@reece_dinsdale Ohhh, you're a Stupid Lowe fan. Now I understand. You're a moron. Have a lovely life of anger and disappointment when old Roop gets 0.003% of the vote at every election. Or dies trying ๐ค๐ป
@ConUltrac@reece_dinsdale So by your logic, every time anyone posts anything on Twitter, they should also post about everything else related that post and give their opinion on it? Would that make you happy, you fucking simpleton?
@RobMartin1989@reece_dinsdale Well launching wheelie bins & beer bottles at the police works a treat, doesn't it? Problem sorted.
I know this will be hard for you to understand, but it is possible for people to think more than one thought at a time.
Rapists are evil & should be put down. It's not difficult.
@RaspyLegs@reece_dinsdale Some people (not you, obviously, people with a brain) sometimes have two opinions at the same time. Imagine a world where someone considers Farage evil scum, and also considers Digwa evil scum. Just imagine.
@Nigel_Farage You incited riots AGAIN.
I canโt wait for all those cigarettes you smoke to finally catch up with you.
Youโre a cancer on this country.
@Nigel_Farage Oh fuck off, you riot-inciting racist. Apart from misquoting your riot-inciting call to your thick supporters, how exactly did they defame you? Btw how much interest have you made on the ยฃ5 million so far?
@RupertLowe10 Don't you FUCKING DARE you lying, odious CUNT. The North West has ALWAYS been multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious and multirace going back generations. And we LOVE it that way. Unlike you knuckledraggers, we are inclusive, we are tolerant, we are welcoming and WE HATE YOU.
*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace โ all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing โ not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility โ for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is โ his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults โ he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff โ the Queensberry rules of basic decency โ and he breaks them all. He punches downwards โ which a gentleman should, would, could never do โ and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female โ and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority โ perhaps a third โ of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
โข Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
โข You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws โ he would make a Trump.
@ShabanaMahmood "Those responsible" are Farage and Yaxley-Lennon. The rioters know that, the Nowak family know that, the whole country looking on knows that. So why are you doing nothing about it? Every single time is the same.
