Surely Boris’ best strategy is be on TV as little as possible? That’s why he never turned up to the Covid briefings.

[TBG]

Nah need him back on TV shouting catchy slogans. Need to remind the great British public that the £350m we used to send to the EU every week can now be spent to BUILD. BUILD. BUILD.

Christ this is remarkably unpleasant.

Not to bang on about it, but the Grimes interview of Starkey in which he claims to have not being paying proper attention (whilst simultaneously claiming to have have a detailed & nuanced conversation) didn't contain just one nasty comment. There was a stream of them. Some clips:

Jesus

I don’t who Grimes is like, and I don’t want to.

[Skeletor]

See Grimes is suing the BBC now. What a madness.

I have started legal proceedings against the @BBC for what they said about me during @BBCRadio4's Six O’Clock News on 2 July 2020.https://t.co/eXi0Nq5alN pic.twitter.com/l5kHPKiNl7

As if people are actually giving the little t*** money to make his wanky Youtube channel.

Help drown out PMQ’s

He'll start sending his cabinet non-entities to deal with LOTO.

I'd readily put money on this Grimes creep making an appearance in the Saville thread one day.

Quite possibly. Wouldn't put it past him to have been groomed himself at some point though. Something went very wrong with him at some point.

Thing about all of that is, it’s not particularly different from anything Starky has already said. Pretty mental how the right go in about how facts don’t care about feelings when they’re constantly trying to re-write history so they can feel proud of their country. Britain did a lot of really s*** stuff in its days of empire. One or two good things, but mostly bad. Just acknowledge it ffs.

Culture war never dies.

Nobody is more exploited enslaved and persecuted than the rightwing anglophone. Repeat ad infinitum.
