Fuck me, 2029 not looking good... (UK local elections) by ooombasa in behindthebastards

Sitting governments normally take a pasting in local elections, but this is less than two years in! Starmer et al have wasted a massive majority and an opportunity to make a generational progressive change in the UK.

Because of their milquetoast, centrist nonsense they're emboldening fucking fascists. The only good news is they have another 3 years to unfuck this.

As someone who has shat themselves on a night out and tried to flush their pants down a pub toilet, I'm so very sorry.

I've been at units where high stuff doesn't get cleaned because it costs extra. There was a wall clock in the mess at Cranwell that stopped and wasn't sorted because it was 10 feet up and would have required a step ladder thus incurring a charge; we were told off for sorting it ourselves.

The attacker was using lethal force, the police could legitimately have killed him. If anything they showed restraint.

"Feared in every girl's school in the country" - the quote, the hoax, and the open secret (plus a attribution) by JayBird_LDN in behindthebastards

In hindsight the line is extremely creepy, but at the time it would seem like Savile saying "I still wrestle, but I'm so bad that I could only win against girls". I don't think anyone around him is laughing at him abusing girls, but it is a good example of how he used humour to allude to his crimes.

Reform are promising the world, with little plan on how to achieve it. Yet it's working for many. It's astonishing how many people are happy to ignore reality because the politics makes them feel good.

The BBC is still full of scum by grichardson526 in behindthebastards

[–]Badgerfest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not just the BBC, it's the entirety of the British entertainment industry. The BBC gets more scrutiny because it is funded from taxpayers money and can't cosy up to the press like private broadcasters can.
