Can you link, or would you prefer not to?

I’m laughing (in general, not at any particular OP or poster) at those who didn’t attend to vote or spoiled their ballot paper. How the fuck do they think democracy works? I’d rather they were Russian bots than actually that thick.

Tory or Reform?

I just added a link with screenshots from the account

Musk can eff right off. That inevitable West account is rather putrid, isn't it?

Nope I don’t. He’s a shit stirrer. Ian Hislop is an odious little man who presides over an unfunny programme well past its sell by date

To be fair @derxa humour is a personal thing - I thought the latest HIGNFY was very funny indeed.

I think that Twitter account participated in a number of the weird& wonderful Starmer rumours over the last couple of months. Hence Musk amplifying their posts.

Not surprisingly Tice welcoming of Musk's interventions.

He seems to like a bit of foreign influence.

Surely both Hislop and Clarkson can be shit stirrers? They don't cancel each other out.

DH watches it. I try but end up in grim silence.

If the likes of Clarkson are squealing about their tax loophole being closed , labour are on the right track .

154m above sea level, here. We'll be minted, in the future.

Bert gave us a lot of snow then a lot of slush. He has kindly melted all the ice that's been everywhere the sun don't shine all week.

I find it very easy not to watch things I don't like

I’m not staying out of my own sitting room.

Now that's an erudite response.

How would you like me to phrase it?

I understood your anger when you told us you feel it. I think you are taking it out on the wrong people. Maybe you should take up boxing. Apparently that's a good way to get your emotions out.

Well it's like a child lashing out, rather than having something sensible to say.

Ian Hislop doesn’t know I exist.

Nope but we all do. We have all felt anger and expressed it in here. I think you're getting angry at the wrong people. Where you this angry for the last few years of the Tory government? There was a lot to be angry about there. Or is just the treatment of rich farmers that makes you angry?

I wasn’t aware that we had to be sensible. I can’t stand Hislop having previous loved that programme.

’Rich farmers’? They’re coming for all of us.

Oh come on! there is more to the program than Ian Hislop! they usually have a Tory to 2 on there, maybe a LD, a comedian and the host and their one liners are often hilarious.

They make a point of ripping into all parties and often none at all, its great TV.

But if you don't like it, then thats ok too but calling Hislop Odious is odd, you've never met him.... & he might be on MN and now knows you exist!!!

I will put my tin foil hat on just in case

err earlier you said you weren't affected and knew of no one who is?
