But it did matter.
You might not remember but they took the UK government to court not so long ago. Kemi Badenoch tried to stop them getting funding for arts that they were entitled to from the UK government whilst the Tories were still in power. They’ve been controversial long before their messages of support for Hamas and Hezbollah. They’ve just pissed off different people now.
Well yes, obviously 😜.
A deliberately provocative Northern Irish band, named after a horrible and sadistic form of execution made famous by a proscribed terrorist / unlawful group (in both Ireland and the UK), who wear balaclavas in a similar style to said proscribed terrorists, that openly call for elected officials to be killed might very well get some people’s goat up 🤣.
In the same way that a Northern Irish band that went around saying “the only good Fenian is a dead one” and dressed up as British Military waving union jack flags around the place might also get the goat up of some other people… 🤷.
They intentionally want to be offensive and controversial so we can’t complain when they gain controversy and people take offence, can we?
For sure it’s freedom of speech. By technicalities they’ve not said anything that will warrant further actions. But they’re not free from criticism either. When both families of Labour and Tory MPs who have been murdered by radicalised idiots have come out and chastised you, then you know you’re doing something silly 🪿.
This isn’t going to impact their core audience, nor their future performances. It will be forgotten in a week and when they play Glastonbury Eavis will personally introduce them to rapturous applause. Because that’s just their “schtick”.
They’ve done and said some dumb shit stupid things but maybe it should be left as that rather than the fake outrage from both sides.
Everyone likes hot weather. But they have their own limits. I love hot weather. I don’t like feeling like a perpetual melting stick of butter.
Yes. And sorry for being snappy. It’s been a hard week 😔.
If and when that cunt leaves you people need to continue the Tesla boycott. The message should be that association with Elon is damaging long term to a company. And not that Elon will bring publicity and notoriety to your company which can be turned into sales and increased market shares long after he’s left. Because that’s how these idiots think. They’ll happily accept short term loss if they think the bounce back after he’s gone will net them even more.
His brand is toxicity so don’t support any company that works with him. Ever. Treat him like a rapist. Actually maybe that’s a bad idea… if you treat him like a rapist the US will probably elect him their next president 💀🇺🇲.
My favourite contrarian, George Monbiot 🌶️.
Google has entered the IBM era.
No wonder a lot of their top engineers have been leaving recently.
The Tories and Jo Cox’s husband.
These look shit
I imagine they’ll say:
We were just messing. You know. Calling for our boyos to murder one of your MPs. But just for the craic, like. No offence.
speaking truth to power
God I hate this phrase. It’s an Americanism that has bled into British culture and now politics. Utterly meaningless. Achieves nothing but making people feel like their making progress but aren’t at all.
Oi M8 ur a cunt!
Dave, woah. What are you doing?
Speaking truth to power, innit.
The truth element is so broad it could apply to anything and the power bit is so vague it could also refer to anyone. Bland catchphrase politics. Yuk.
One too many Caipirinhas…
People are obsessed with Elmo’s interest in Twitter. He doesn’t give a shit as long as the US government is subsiding his lifestyle. He’s become so successful at bleeding US tax payers out of money that he couldn’t care less about Twitter.
Go after Tesla and SpaceX. Hit him where it hurts.
Can’t wait to see their set with such time honoured bangers as
And many many more.
I thought about posting this but thought it might stir up too many violent emotions. You’re a braver man than me… or woman… or non binary person.
11 squid? Fuck me that’s robbery. Riot I’d say.
One person with knowledge of the US talks said: “The US has now decided to negotiate its trade deals in three phases. The government has been told it will not be in phase one – though that leaves the door open to be in either phase two or three.”
🤣🤣🤣 You didn’t finish first, but you could be second or third.
I’m not sure what you are implying should be done. But we have to start somewhere.
I’m implying that Trump and his supporters don’t give a shit about your books, or your protests, or your philosophy.
the ruler’s power ‘depend intimately upon the obedience and cooperation of the subjects’.
And Trump’s US subjects are obedient and cooperating with his maligned agenda. They’re simply going to laugh at your protests.
What’s the difference between this and Duck Duck Go?
