Its Manchester, have you checked it doesnt mean "four hours of drinking lager then rolling up for a vindaloo on the curryvegas mile at 9"?

Extra Baker Street fact: during the war, 64 Baker Street (and later, other addresses on the same street) were the HQ of the SOE (Special Operations Executive), spy-saboteur-resistance commandos. Im quite sure that a number of them were Holmes fans and appreciated the connection.

Over on Facebook, my Tory MP was doing his usual dogwhistle-moaning about the quality of Labour environnent ministers, and this local farmer decided that what was needed was some eliminationist Nazi rhetoric about .... The Fabian Society? These people are unwell.

Fascism believes that by changing the rules, you change morality, because they have no morality, and they fetishise rules. It is always possible to punish people who do the right thing, but it does not change what the right thing is.

So many reasons for it, multiple PhDs worth of material, basically "pick your favourite"- one of mine is "elite education and the boarding school are systemic child abuse designed to create a ruling class of pitiless sociopaths with no connection to humanity", but Im an oldschool lefty.

The UK just hates itself- the rich hate the poor, the countryside hates the city, the North hates the South, and on and on. Everyone hates everything and everyone in an endless cycle of misery and anger and frustration.

We arent even allowed to talk about that particular subject, lest one of the key drivers of austerity in the real world become public knowledge and ruin the whole illusion

Feels like its also something that could be improved by, you know, governing properly and improving the country a bit for the people who are going to be voting in 2029, instead of just trying to find the right optics.

"I cannot believe what you just said!" "OK, so, would you mind explaining it back to me, because as far as Im concerned, nothing I just said was looking for, or should have elicited that response."

Ironically, that is aparently how every NT person hears every comment or compliment I try to ennunciate, thus assuming I am a massive arsehole at all times

I'd really like to see a British journalist ask the question, when some politician or some dolt on QT says we cant afford to pay for some essential infrastructure, "How can we afford to not pay for it?" -but the answer to that is pretty simple- we get ordinary people to cover the cost privately.

The UK, and Scotland specifically, is being used as a petri dish to cultivate ever fouler and more virulent strains of this pathological bullshit.

One of the minor parts of my job involves selling newspapers, and I can tell you something about the demographic buying stuff like this- it is vanishingly small, and will have completely ceased to exist in approximately ten years time.

Thats also how it was in most European and American cities until the mid to late 19th Century

They sure stuck an oar into the asylum process regarding the Afghani SF theyd been working with. Cant be summoned to testify against our brave boys if you are trapped or murdered by the Taliban.

Whats really weird is this exact same behaviour has been reported regarding the Australian SAS and various US SF operators, who are also all denying the accusations in the same hurt tone- what could the connection possibly be?

But if we dont punish the poor for being poor, how will they correctly devine gods will and set about changing the error of their ways? Honestly, this strategy has been in place for literally centuries and look how well it has been working

But all the local Tories concerned about bin collections and traffic calming measures assure me that Burnham is a far left Marxist fanatic destroying the country with his authoritarian tax raids?

Its not even hard to understand- its simplistic shit for ignorant turnips. We probably understand it better than they do, because they possess the insight and interiority of garden snails.

Why do they always think the problem is that we dont listen to these Reform scumbags? Ive listened, Ive heard it, its bullshit, I dont need to hear it again, I need them to get fucked.

Im quite happy knowing nothing about Macklemore, in fact- I can just spot a desperate bullshit disingenuous argument when I see one.

eoinmonkey.bsky.social @eoinmonkey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The genius "The Left Is Always Wrong" hive mind have decided that in fact Macklemore has been rightfully silenced because of something he did over ten years ago, in fact, so why arent we all talking about that instead?

Private Schools are invariably registered chariities, so pay no tax, but trouser all that money from fees, so they are actually taking plenty out, and not paying it back in.
