I think what's definitely true is that people are saying it, that's something we can all agree upon

The referee has just sent two players off from each team and then dropped his shorts and shat in the centre circle, but both sets of fans are booing him so that can only mean he's doing a great job

I keep seeing comments like "they didn't even bother doing a propaganda campaign this time". Do they need to? The American people are completely pacified. Where are the mass anti-war protests like we had with Vietnam and Iraq? Nowhere.

True and for real, I don’t blame anyone for this: it has just been one horror atop another for the whole of the 21st century so far and every effort the public has made to mitigate it has been ruthlessly beaten into the dirt. It’s amazing anyone has energy and idealism left to e.g. oppose ICE.

If you liked this article and agree with Nick Cohen, and you too want to join him in defending the Greens' assault on democracy, then just Google "Nick Cohen MeToo" or "Nick Cohen assault" for more info. Love you Britain πŸ™

Great stuff - if you want more from Nick on the latest assault on the establishment, just Google "Nick Cohen assault" for more info

Fantastic! If you want more of this kind of stuff from Nick and agree with him, just Google 'Nick Cohen MeToo' for more info

Into the ground, by the looks of things. Couldn't be happier to see Labour eat dirt this morning

firstly, I'd like to congratulate the Greens on a hopeful, positive campaign, and a hopeful positive result, free of smears and division and personal insults. secondly I'd like to say fuck Matt Goodwin, fuck Reform, fuck the Labour Party, fuck all the toads in UK politics and media, have a shite day

How did this go? Is it real yet?

Yes I do, I think it's actually you who doesn't know

Nah he's just in it for the taste of the boot leather

Really, because it seems like you do like it. If you think the Greens are doing this at the same scale or with the same kinds of resources, or that we shouldn't hold the *party of government* to account for electoral misinformation then that is just the fact that you're a bootlicking cunt at work

the fish rots from the head, his silence on this is deafening, the ball is in his court, all he has to do is apologise, any other leader would be 15 points ahead etc etc

Yep. The secret ingredient is actually wanting and trying to

Only a stupid person would look at those politics and describe them as 'far left' lol

It's called 'horseshoe theory' because you have to have been kicked in the head by a horse in order to take honking carnivals of farts like this stupid comment seriously

No, your face is a dead end that will lead to further polarisation

Hey, let’s turn to the anti-racist movement to beat back the fascist surge... What’s that? β€œTo shreds”, you say? In terrifyingly intense campaigns of fear and hatred. By our hateful newspapers and MPs, working hand in hand? Well, it sure is a mystery who is responsible for the rise of the far right!

I think you can actually blame them though
