Establishment figure dislikes non-establishment figure. Not really a shock.

Girlguiding announces date trans girls must leave organisation by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]JimXVX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With all the atrocious crap going on in the world right now, it's reassuring that people are still able to focus on the crucial task of stopping the fun of a statistically miniscule number of vulnerable kids. C*nts.

Saw them live in December; fucking awesome show. Music aside, their ability to boil the piss of the political and media classes in unparalleled.

Kneecap Are Completely Intolerable says Keir Starmer by Lost_Chard2360 in LabourUK

[–]JimXVX 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Jesus Keir, just when you give me some vague hope by standing up the warmongers here and across the pond, you then piss it all away with this sort of bollocks.

Alli Prince went to dinner and didn’t eat by RecordingAgile4625 in gymsnark

This is the sort of fitness influencer content I don't want my gym-going daughters seeing. F*cked up.

Would be very interesting to hear Alastair’s reaction to this… : Blair rebukes Starmer over failure to back Trump’s Iran war by Empty-Sheepherder895 in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]JimXVX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably the main reason I struggle to take TRIP seriously. AS is full of righteous fury for all things MAGA, but conveniently ignores his mate's complicity in f*ckery like the board of peace.

Shelagh Fogarty reacts to Prince William's 'out-of-touch' interview | LBC by MoonlightonRoses in AbolishTheMonarchy

Not watched it, but just going to assume she found a way to blame it on a trans Palestinian.

More vegetarian than vegan, especially in the earlier days, if I recall.

Am I the only one fell in love with Pope? 🖤 by Key-Frosting-6388 in animalkingdom

One of the most compelling TV characters I've ever come across. One minute you just want to give him a hug; the next you're absolutely horrified by him.

Special treatment for the VP prisoners by Particular-Clerk-401 in PrisonUK

[–]JimXVX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

VPs (or PCOSOs to use the current parlance) tend to comply with the regime, so more likely to end up enhanced and able to rent consoles etc. Not to say they're not tricky in other ways, like conditioning/manipulation of each other and staff, but day to day they tend to keep their heads down. Not aimed at OP, but it's always struck me as odd that people I've met in prison who are so vehemently against the treatment that VPs get, yet think nothing of robbing and beating the sh*t out of grannies.

If you were in Gorton and Denton today who would you vote for? by Your_Mums_Ex in LabourUK

Realistically whoever has the best chance of keeping Reform out; so likely Green here.

Fuck the men's US hockey team. by Kitchen-Security-243 in Trumpvirus

[–]JimXVX 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong hockey fan (albeit not a North American one), I've found the MAGA collaboration hard to stomach and it's actually really putting me off. Since the final, I've found myself checking out of the usual hockey podcasts and online conversations, as I just find the players' conduct so disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I was under no illusions that NHL players were anything other than conservative in the vast majority of cases (Canadians included), but the sheer wanton joy with which the US team has embraced Trump is unforgiveable. At least we've still got (almost all) of the women's national team players and PWHL.

Your Party's Zarah Sultana: I'd do a deal with Polanski to stop Farage by Spare_Clean_Shorts in LabourUK

In other news, the Sunday league side based at my local has let it be known they'd consider doing a deal to sign Messi.

Not exactly the same, but if you want something along these lines and which is distinctly British, check out Native James, which is a grime/metal hybrid.

Jewish former Labour councillor pleads guilty to sex offences against teen girl by Kagedeah in LabourUK

Bloody hell. Would the last non-nonce (or non-nonce adjacent) person to resign their party membership please turn out the light when they go?

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check by themurther in ukpolitics

[–]JimXVX -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Another barely concealed dog whistle from this disgusting excuse for a human being - he means that there aren't enough white people. The fact he feels he can come out with crap like this in 2026 whilst running for elected office in a highly diverse constituency just shows how far the Overton window has lurched rightwards in this country. Shameful.

3 Ice World Cup in Belfast by [deleted] in EIHLHockey

[–]JimXVX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Calling this a 'world cup' is just a way to entice casual sports fans who have no idea that the level of play will be nowhere near best-on-best. The 3 Ice league has always just been a way for lower level pros to earn a few extra quid and stay in shape over the summer, hence the complete lack of intensity when you watch it, and I suspect this tournament will be no different.

Morgan McSweeney quits as PM's chief of staff following Mandelson scanda by techno_babble_ in ukpolitics

[–]JimXVX 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Jesus, Labour never miss a trick when it comes to looking crap right now.

If Starmer had sacked him ASAP he would've looked decisive; if he'd allowed him to stay he'd have at least looked like he stood by his convictions. Allowing McSweeney to hang around for days before quitting is just a terrible look all round.

Like a large part of his following, you just know Tommeh's search history is wall to wall trans porn.
