UK intelligence agencies too busy dealing with the real terrorists: pensioners who held up the wrong sign at a peaceful protest

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

TBF in England we now classify pensioners holding up a sign at a protest as 'terrorism', so I don't know how serious anyone should be taking reports of terrorism here anymore

He's right. He's an idiot, but he is technically right.

Can anyone who doesn't think she's a fucking helmet make themselves known? We can put them on a block list

And somehow the big story is that City have broken accounting rules. That's the focus of moral outrage, the thing that sours the sporting spectacle. Ignore the fact that City are built on blood money.

000

Find all the sanctimoniousness about City very odd. FFP is a bullshit cartel racket. There's a reason to hate City but it's not 'the charges'. People don't seem really to care about the success all being based on blood money, just that they spent too much blood money and made the Big Clubs feel sad

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

He's set some incredibly dangerous anti-democratic precedents around use of terror legislation and banning protest, but I guess on the other hand... Actually what is there on the other hand?

Great day. Made all the sweeter by seeing sadface Keith Starmer watching his boys get hammered. Only disappointment was not seeing Rice get the red he deserved for a petulant, retaliatory, off the ball attack on Yalcouye right at the end #bhafc

We missed Hinsh and Rutter. With Gross way off it in the first half too we could barely string two passes together and Leeds should have been out of sight. Both full backs poor. OTOH Babis was fun, Yalcouye good, Gross back to himself and leading the fightback after half time. Draw seems fair #bhafc

just stop oil protesters got five years in jail for *planning* to do this to the M25.

Yalcouye had a really good game in the no. 10 role at the weekend too

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Agree re. moving Gomez more central but would imagine his best position would be a bit deeper rather than competing with Hinsh/Rutter for the no.10 role. Playing alongside Gross/Ayari/Yalcouye in a double pivot. That's where we looked quite thin on numbers.

I'd recommend to anyone doing yourself a favour and rewatching all the George Dawes songs from Shooting Stars. Peanuts, Football, Lesbians, every one a classic.

And Marjorie Dawes covering No Scrubs on Shooting Stars put the final nail in the coffin

Why do you hate Britain?

It's fine to have pubs where kids are welcome. If you don't like those ones go to different ones. It's pretty clear (round me at least) which ones are family friendly and which are proper boozers. Don't think I've ever seen a toddler in the latter.

060

Does anyone actually write like that deliberately though?

100

That's probably the answer

Lot of people correctly pointing out that most people don't have a spare 8k but it's still true that there are a lot of rich people out there who can, and only a small fraction of them have solar

What if you're both right and not every bit of the UK is the same?

000

How do you people sleep at night?

Their humanity or lack of it isn't what's in dispute though. You are saying 'but you wouldn't forbid a human from making art'. Actually, if we're talking about a slave being forced to make art - which is the equivalence being drawn - then I would. And I don't think that's even controversial.

Yes but an LLM is owned. It's a slave to it's owner's will. A human artist has the freedom to accept or refuse the contract to create the art the client is requesting.

Sorry but your logic on the 'no' side is extremely facile. I can object in principle to AI training on copyrighted material because AI is a machine, owned by corporations being directed to do this for profit. If C3PO was a slave being ordered to make art, it would be morally acceptable to ban him

Now we need to push for UULEZ

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

This is so infuriating. Lost a lot of respect for Hugh reading it. Completely fails to engage with the central complaint, comes across as incredibly self pitying and frankly arrogant.

1210

Fair enough. I'd humbly suggest it might be better to log off for a bit than to post things in anger that make you come across like a climate sceptic to anyone not reading closely.

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Ok, 'most people will look at this summer and remember the good bits, not the heatwaves - where it actually was too hot' at least makes sense. Your pissy tone makes it hard not to read some of your posts as saying 'actually even the heatwaves were enjoyable unless you're some kind of snowflake'.

160

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Ok but that's just your opinion. Can we return to the poll and why you think it's not relevant? As far as I can see your point is that *most* people have enjoyed the weather this summer? The poll seems to directly contradict that?

His fraud didn't cost him his life. The British press did.

No, the media hounding led to the suicide. British press are pond scum

Tell it to them then explain it very slowly in case they completely miss the point

Listen, I know this isn't the point, but Villette is actually the best Brontë novel.

It's a good review and the response shows that a lot of people have pretty poor reading comprehension

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Doesn't make sense. Any definition that has Leeds and Bradford as one city has Birmingham and the Black Country as one too, and therefore still significantly bigger.

060

Swebb @hhledger.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Plus Guirassy, Osimhen, Szoboszlai, Mbuemo, Lookman. I think it would basically be the Italian back 6 but not sure I'm having any Italian forwards in the team

000

Friends abroad pointing out that while we were enjoying watching Paredes completely embarrass himself after the final whistle everyone else was on an ad break. THAT'S your argument for a state funded broadcaster

090

Do they lose their special FIFA protection after that game? We know Trump hates losers so it's possible they could actually get punished for something this time?
