I absolutely agree that Elno and these yobs are horrible people. You don't need to say anything kind about them. But we are also fucking civilized around these parts, and we don't allow calls for violence, or for people, even the very worst people, to die horribly or be maimed.

That has nothing to do with them; they'll never see your exquisite detailed torture fantasy anyway. This is about keeping the filthy fuckaducks who read Wonkette a decent and humane community, fuckers.

My first impulses are rarely my best impulses.

So there goes my fanfic Doctor Who meets Judge Dredd in burning London mashup. I will say that my Doctor Who often misbehaves and my Judge Dredd always helps people who fuck around to find out.

Madame Kovarian: The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules.

The Doctor: Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.

Do I have to have a birb at hand to pterodactyl myself before commenting? Maybe I can invite @Parakeetist over or something to preview?

Back before Covid, we used to call the back row in the middle where other troublemakers and I often sat in the Sullivan Chamber (the Cambridge City Council meeting room) the Group W bench, even though it wasn't actually a bench. On our Group W bench we didn't call for violence against City Councillors or other people; we left that to the leftier-than-thou techbros and their ilk.

The thing is that I DO know better and generally mind my manners fairly well.

But the fact of the matter is that I just thoroughly, absolutely, unequivocally and with every pulsing fiber of my being HATE Nazis, particularly the 21st century variety that should damned good and well KNOW better.

That kind of hatred ignites all consuming fury, and fury dialed up to "11" results in shite manners and thoroughly inconsiderate behavior. Such unbridled emotions are not suitable and have a tendency to get you into to trouble.

I feel you. The past couple days, I’ve been spending my emotional energy on twatwaffles making misogynistic comments on the Gocomics site. You wouldn’t think someone could take the pleasure out of a BC or Pearls Before Swine strip, but here we are.

The thugs are angry because asylum seekers are being kept in hotels. But they're only in hotels because 14 years of right-wing Tory government so thoroughly wrecked the budget of the departments who process asylum requests that there's a gigantic backlog. The asylum seekers aren't allowed to work, are under strict curfews, and from what I've read, the conditions they're kept in are pretty unpleasant.

I'm also an immigrant to the UK. But I'm white (mostly), and American. Funny how I never get any shit from folks here in Essex, where I live, which is a right-wing anti-immigrant heartland.

Civil War isn't inevitable, but one thing that does seem inevitable is that the U.K. will ban Musk's enshittified bird app after this. The E.U. will probably follow suit. He is such a SMRT businessman.

So, British people have lost a lot of economic stability to the effects of BREXIT and COVID relief programs - which mostly helped the very wealthy. To fill the budget gaps, the British government tried to raise interest rates but middle class home owners and rich people will be harmed so the media swung into action and that wasn't pursued. Still, those pesky budget gaps must be filled and the best way to do it is to tax the rich. The rich don't want to be taxed and so a misdirection will be pointed at immigrants.

tl:Dr - TAX THE RICH!!

Please can we always refer to ‘Tommy Robinson’ by his real name, the uber posh sounding Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He changed it to the chaviest name he could think of to ingratiate himself with the vile racist b3ll3nds he represents.

These right-wing nutjobs over here see themselves as Knights of the Crusade in their shining, silver armor and draped in the St. George flag, still wielding their swords against Muslims under Saladin. In reality, they're uneducated, hateful yobs with five teeth whose unintelligible English consists of nothing but slang and profanities and who usually have a rap sheet a mile long by the time they hit 25. Just as with their RWNJ counterparts on the west side of the Atlantic, they lack the ability to sort out fact from their own fevered fiction and they're itchin' for a fight all the time.

“Civil war is inevitable.”

Hey Musky Boy, you know who also believed in war? Charles Manson. I was 8 years old when he tried to start a race war with some murders in 1968. It didn't happen. People have been talking that shit for a long time but luckily we outnumber you assholes. Maybe you should rethink that Mars colony idea. After all you'll decide who will go with you so you can keep "those people" off the ship.

Melon Husk can't seem to keep his pie-hole shut up. Ya know, if you're not going to try and make things better, then just shut up and live your own useless life. I've often said that it seems life is, in part, learning how to avoid the assholes and the idiots, because there are lots of them out there.
