@RedMummy I wish. Was going to post in anger @site, but have thought better of it. Fuck ‘em, already know both orgs are watching me here. in reply to RedMummy #
@idsharman Afraid I don’t have a better word! It turns my stomach that these people use “freedom of speech” as part of their platform… in reply to idsharman #
10-15 years ago, a leaflet thru the door from BNP would have constituted a hate crime. If Islamic fundies did it, there WOULD be outcry. #
@georgelondon Trying not to mentally go down that route, but yeah. Not much difference – UKIP serving as a more palatable bridge, innit. in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon Both trading in similar lies. Churchill would have been livid at UKIPs use of his image, as has one of the BNP models. in reply to georgelondon #
@belle_lulu Having it in the house is turning stomach a bit – wish I was being over-dramatic, but no. Good for me to stay angry about it. in reply to belle_lulu #
@andy_lamb It’s part of the lie, though, innit? “Good British people can’t even make a harmless joke any more without getting into trouble.” in reply to andy_lamb #
Truth is, Political Correctness is great white myth of the 21st century. It doesn’t even really exist except in deranged minds of the comfy. #
Most minority people only really expect basic common decency. Acrobatics white power base goes thru to avoid imagined slights must mystify. #
@andy_lamb Scary thing how much more competent they are at manipulating people than mainstream parties! Juxtaposition of words to lead etc. in reply to andy_lamb #
@BeaucoupKevin My first response to that was HILARIOUS, but… uh… might have put me on a watchlist somewhere… in reply to BeaucoupKevin #
@ferretprincess @feliciaday is pimping The Guild S2 on DVD – Can you play Region 1 discs? She’s trying to promote it using #theguild, btw. #
@ericamoen My Girl One loved the hell out of the strip today, btw. & she’s not a natural comicker. #
@steevbishop STAY ALERT! WAKE UP WAKE UP! Uh… your phone is off by now, of course… in reply to steevbishop #
@andy_lamb That inherent tribalism/xenophobia is true & mentioned a lot, but what BNP don’t account for is it’s ubiquity & arbitrary nature. in reply to andy_lamb #
@andy_lamb (That is that it’s a survival instinct left over from ancestors & is “fear of other”, not “fear of a particular group of others”) in reply to andy_lamb #
Political Correctness is, if nothing else, a condescending way of trying to acknowledge a group without understanding them… #
… & it’s making England fucking crazy. I mean, batshit, rooting around in it’s own shit for clues to the nature of things nuts. #
@RedMummy I can see how that might backfire on you somewhat. Wondering what neighbours made of THEIR BNP leaflets. in reply to RedMummy #
@andy_lamb OR, you know, politely apart behind our own closed doors! No one says we have to love our neighbours, y’konw? in reply to andy_lamb #
YA KNOW! #
BNP (& UKIP) seem selective about focus of their hatred of PC. Haven’t noticed campaign for right to use the word Spastic, or Brainstorm. #
@BeaucoupKevin I love… there’s something about the Hernandez stuff I’ve read that I love. But I’ve somehow resisted getting into them. in reply to BeaucoupKevin #
@andy_lamb You’re right… I haven’t heard it mentioned on their official stuff, but I’ve seen it as pro BNP response in comment threads. in reply to andy_lamb #
@georgelondon HAH! BNP distancing themselves from UKIP? It’s THAT way round, huh? in reply to georgelondon #
@RedMummy You are apparently not a good spy type… in reply to RedMummy #
@belle_lulu A show that apparently only lives up to it’s potential by the 6th episode. Fun enough, but keep that in mind & should be ok. in reply to belle_lulu #
@RedMummy Hah… “spangled dressing gown of doom” wins points toward some sort of prize, I’m sure. in reply to RedMummy #
@belle_lulu Oh, god, I don’t know about that. Hm. Hmmm… in reply to belle_lulu #
@the12s But the thing is the UK isn’t. The BNP & right stand on it, the left & mediocre middle class propagate it, but it’s left unexamined. in reply to the12s #
@georgelondon Whoot whoot! in reply to georgelondon #
@the12s The irony is I haven’t known a time in my life where people were more free to say what they wanted, & about whom! in reply to the12s #
MOST people know the difference between hatred and a fucking joke, after all. #
@belle_lulu Sorry, just dropped an @reply from the front of part of a conversation! Don’t you worry…! in reply to belle_lulu #
@belle_lulu @RedMummy Ladies, ladies… please, no fighting… this is, after all Fantasy Love Boat, where all dreams come true! in reply to belle_lulu #
@marcellerby A bit stunned that you hadn’t already seen it, to be honest. Not because it’s ubiquitous, but because it’s you… in reply to marcellerby #
@marcellerby … I have clearly created a Marc Ellerby in my head who is at the forefront of all trends. I apologise! in reply to marcellerby #
@marcellerby There you go… COMPLETELY the wrong impression I got, right there. in reply to marcellerby #
Right… couple more rounds of Plants Vs Zombies before retiring to bed with Girl One & laptop. #
… That… wait, that came out wrong. #
@steevbishop It’s good, huh? in reply to steevbishop #
@belle_lulu @RedMummy What on earth…? I go away to kill a bunch of zombies with a bunch of plants, & what on EARTH have you 2 got up to? in reply to belle_lulu #
Right, bed now. For reals. #
@michaelfurious Well, I listen. And I’m worth, oh, approximately 2.7531 robots. in reply to michaelfurious #
@Sulman I love “Aspects of the African American experience”! Suggests modern US black experience has anything in common with Color Purple… in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman … If it does, they’re in more trouble than we could have imagined… in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Ha! Last night’s rantage may seem a bit out of control, then! Yeh, if your place gets wet, ours would already be deep underwater! in reply to Sulman #
@MissNixs A happy accident or a prodigy of some description? in reply to MissNixs #
@MissNixs But… but that’s important life skills, right there! in reply to MissNixs #
http://bit.ly/4lhrb – Huh. Not sure I’m convinced that citizens of earth would REALLY be so chirpy about alien arrival, but hey, it’s “V”. #
@Sulman She is a pouty minx… And we love it, don’t we? in reply to Sulman #
@mmetcalfe Good point. I’m guessing the speech there was cut for dramatic purposes. in reply to mmetcalfe #
“If you allow us to land on your planet & have access to your abundant minerals, we promise to wipe out political correctness & diversity.” #
Wait, what? Is that seriously The WATCHER in that FF preview? Eh? Eh? – http://bit.ly/Dx7e #
@thoughtmecca LOL… oh, no, you can stay. You can be like the kooky one in the office who always gets it wrong. in reply to thoughtmecca #
http://bit.ly/W0SjA: Hm… apart from some of the female dialogue in that final clip, seems QT is dropping some of his style for substance. #
@Sulman @steevbishop Her & Ms Baccarin both… in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Teehee… Filthflarnfilthflarnfilth… in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman “Do the people laugh when you say what you say? Do you get paid? Well, tell Bill I said have a coke & a smile, & shut the fuck up.” in reply to Sulman #
@RedMummy Oh, but I DO have a rough tongue. I’m always at it with the swearin’ & the dirty jokes &… that’s not what you mean, huh? in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy But actually but I do. Not sure how @belle_lulu knows, though I have had some times that were difficult to keep track of in past! in reply to RedMummy #
@MissNixs Wait, what? Not deliberately… in reply to MissNixs #
@RedMummy @belle_lulu Tut! Wednesday is too early for Badness in girls.</blatant lie> in reply to RedMummy #
@MissNixs Hah! Sounds lovely – can’t make any promises & V.Unlikely to be in fancy dress, but putting down as “Yes” for a few, I reckon… in reply to MissNixs #
Fancy dress ACTUALLY gives me the ACTUAL fear… #
Hah! Beret might actually even be doable. #
@RedMummy Well, no… my fear of being in fancy dress is almost irrational, whereas clowns are a smart thing to be terrified of. & midgets. in reply to RedMummy #
“It’s like looking at a big fat albino who’s been repeatedly punched in the face.” – http://bit.ly/CAJCP #
@RedMummy Frankly, if you haven’t followed my plan of renaming him weekly for the first 2 years of his life, you’ve FAILED at damaging him. in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy You’re clearly not all THAT committed to the cause. Maybe you have some peculiar vestigial affection toward the boy? in reply to RedMummy #
You know, if you’d spent the first year of the job DOING the job, instead of all that self-promoting wankery, you’d already KNOW this stuff. #
@RedMummy I’m sure they & the NSPCC are following this conversation with interest! in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Ha! Good lad. in reply to RedMummy #
@laineyw Never. It takes NEVER. in reply to laineyw #
eLearning: If you’ve spent ages putting effort into creating a notional skill-secure empire, don’t complain that academics aren’t empowered. #
@RedMummy That would be a very bad idea. You do know that cyanide is poison, right? in reply to RedMummy #
On 16th May, @sarahditum did a great job of presenting this great job by David Simon on future of print journalism. – http://bit.ly/p71KW #
…But then, I would say that, as their opinions are perfectly in line with mine! #
@georgelondon What the hell IS this…? It seems… like some beautiful dream? in reply to georgelondon #
Actually amazing comic: http://bit.ly/19qrcV #
Just playing with Grooveshark – listened to La Resistance by South Park: http://tinysong.com/2d6Q #
@RedMummy Hah… the comic strip, yeah? It’s work, but it’s beautiful! in reply to RedMummy #
A colleague has a history in music zines, & is still watching gigs & talking about/photographing them – http://bit.ly/K7fGz #
@RedMummy MUCH safer…! in reply to RedMummy #
Listening to Irwin Redlener at TED on “Surviving a Nuclear Attack” as I work – http://bit.ly/3mMt #
@RedMummy You don’t need soothing… you need kick-ass! in reply to RedMummy #
@steevbishop I end nearly ALL of my sentences with them! Hit point while back where a sentence WITHOUT one looks like I just can’t be arsed! in reply to steevbishop #
Everyone is being a bit sarcastic on here today. Hm. #
@idsharman Oh HA HA HA! Very funny! HA! in reply to idsharman #
@douglasnoble Oh, great. Now with the withering statements, too. You’re so reliable. in reply to douglasnoble #
@nixsight (I jest, of course – but no, without rooting out particular examples, it wasn’t so much vague sarcasm as a general meta… in reply to nixsight #
@douglasnoble … critique of online communication that seemed to be going on in my timeline.) in reply to douglasnoble #
That girl was disarmingly cute. Thought Anya & I might get past her & ducklings without incident. #
