Pragmatic Left. V intolerant of intolerants. Sweary, sarcastic, infantile, mainly harmless. Good wi' cats. May contain irony, jokes, that sort of thing. Abuse, fascists, bores & bots: all insta-blocked. Trump & Reform? 2 cheeks of the same arse #FBPE #NAFO

Yes, he's legendary unpleasant to the 'lower orders'. A vile specimen.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

A well-known right-wing comedian has been caught out going on Fox News, passing himself off as being from two separate left-wing activist groups. These interviews were sold as being 'authentic' apparently, until everyone noticed.

It always was. Surely getting in on the ground floor of an innovative business that will take us into the 22nd century would be a good move? Not to greedy short term thinkers, obviously.

It was blatantly obvious on the night, really. Nothing added up. He exuded the kind of disconnected, entitled arrogance that comes from a having a total contempt for everyone outside the Royal Family (and I think he hates a lot of them, too). (Summed up here):

It is an opinion piece, I suppose. Though how a government trying to address major problems over the long term can function when everyone's throws rocks & hurdles at them every second of the day, is beyond me.

It's the sense of outrage that bleeds through from Bob. How DARE we vote in a non-conservative government. Much better to have Tories sending us down the tubes.

I thought you were out there taking on Agents of ICE, for a second.

Just turned on Peston (briefly) & watched him give Yvette Cooper a massive shellacing. On one level, glad to see a determined line of questioning about government incompetence. On another, he didn't so bothered when Tories incompetents were tanking the country & its future?
