Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 27, 2015 Petitions and stuff are, like, so the objects of oppression by The Man, man. I'd assume. Though given I did once know a drug smoking hippy who told people to vote Tory as... Tory government would bring in the day of revolution faster, perhaps I'm crediting them with too much intelligence. Hopefully this'll be a launchpad for more direct action. I don't even smoke weed and I want it legalised. I've often wondered if I were to write petition to ban smoking of anything (cigs, weed, banana skins) would raise more signatures than those wanting cans of bis legalised. Does smoking banana skims actually work? No idea, but read this... http://io9.com/5946553/why-hippies-thought-smoking-banana-peels-could-get-you-high 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted July 27, 2015 I can't quite understand why Corbyn is regarded as such a radical. He's proposing lots of stuff that are mainstream policies in the USA or in Germany, the two-state solution, will all parties at the table, ending sanctions on Iran which is currently happening, infrastructure banks... There's nothing that makes me think, wow, that's a little out there... He disagrees with reducing the deficit at any cost, in the UK at the minute - due to press bias and fabrication - that makes him Stalin's successor. On a much cooler note - if you need any proof that weed makes you lazy - there's an estimated 3 million people who smoke weed in the uk yet only 1 in 30 of them have bothered to sign the petition to legalise it despite it being up nearly a week. Maybe many of these people want weed to be illegal because it's their most comfortable way of undermining the rule of law. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted August 1, 2015 See the Daily Mail are trying to imply Corbyn's a pedo... You mean they're saying he failed to act on reports of abuse in care homes... like practically every other MP in the 80s/90s... which is not the same. I'm still baffled as to how we aren't currently being forced to pray 15 times a day by a newly enshrined Ayatollah Milibandi, when you consider the skill and zeal with which demented lefties seem to be able to spin every single piece of reportage ever while keeping a straight face. Sex abuse victims say how MP failed to act becomes "EVIL RIGHT WINGERS TRYING TO SMEAR MAGICAL BEARDED GENIUS" and yet at the same time handful of Tory MPs did abuse in 80s/90s becomes "THATCHER WAS AN EVIL PEDO QUEEN". Cheers for the link btw, lefties once again show how tiny their world is when they assume everyone spends the same regulation 20 minutes the do every morning/weekend afternoon tutting and muttering away at the front page of "enemy" publications......

It also makes a long list of things he did campaign on in a sort of... "why'd he leave this out?" insinuation. I make a point of never linking to the daily mail - it provides it with unwarranted traffic. The article only came to my attention because I googled Jeremy Corbyn to check his age (for deathlisting purposes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted September 21, 2015 So, did David Cameron skull fuck a dead pig? Edit: Whoops, didn't see this discussion already going on in the by-election thread. To be fair I always thought he was a boaring fucker and think this just hams home how much of a dickhead he is. Although whatever he did was clearly part of a joint enterprise, so, if he and his mates have been offal swines, the pigs will hopefully not just grab him by hoof for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,021 Posted October 21, 2015 Just watching Cameron deliver sweet and sour pork balls at a news conference. United Kingdom now has its begging bowl out to the world, like a millionaire who lost all his money on the stock markets, the country is now and remains broke on the back of bankers (who remain protected in an unreformed and still de-regulated market). We have and engender closer links with countries like Saudi Arabia and China, and our own folk can be thrown on the scrapheap whilst rulers of other countries graciously visit our country and eat venison at the taxpayers expense. The hypocrisy continues as Cameron lauds the Northern Powerhouse with a train line that will come too late, as soon there will be little to no manufactured goods to send south. He welcomes the closeness of Chinese students ever more choosing to study in the UK, whilst all the while deporting them or requiring them to leave at the end of their study (and thus of no continuing benefit) just to keep his immigration numbers down. The mutual understanding we seem to have with China is that we can dispense with human rights, just like the Chinese. I could go on. It's come to THIS? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,021 Posted November 12, 2015 And now we are entertaining Modi from India (also having a meal with Her Majesty). Modi's record on human rights is hardly spectacular - see tuppence rant above. And here's the story from the Mail (sorry to quote, but it's pertinent) about the money that the UK gives and is giving to India (btw, one of the top fastest growing world economies in the world) in international development aid, despite promising to cease it by this year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2947400/Lunar-cy-India-gets-cash-British-aid-send-250million-rocket-moon.html Meanwhile we are trotting out celebrities for Children In Need so the British public can put their collective hands in their pocket to support kids in poverty in the UK. Lovely. Edit: India would also be richer if it actually collected all the taxes due and tackled local corruption. Today the UK announced a closure plan for HMRC offices who could also tackle non-payment of taxes here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted November 27, 2015 I can't help but notice there's a lack of meedyur/TeeVee people (or just loud-mouthed people in general) calling Turkey "dangerous irresponsible warmongers" etc. for shooting down a Russian plane, when tensions are as high as they are now, but there were lots of them calling George W. Bush one just because he invaded the shithole of Iraq back in the sleepy little year of 2003. Guys...? You'll pipe up any minute now, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
