Funny how derxa hasn't come back to tell us all the things that are still to be said.

It's almost like she's just a wind up merchant. Just not a very clever one...

BIossomtoes · 09/06/2026 23:17

She hasn’t made an appearance elsewhere as far as I can see either.

The only thing likely to make it collapse is Burnham and his shit stirrers. It’s unforgivable. My worry is that he’s arrogant enough to call a GE and let Reform straight in.

I absolutely agree. This by election was unnecessary and all it's done is stirred up the facists.

My MP is one of those calling for a leadership battle- I will be writing to him if it happens. We have a huge number of Labour MPs in their first term which is leading to poor decisions that come from inexperienced, believing that the local election result was catastrophic is one of them. They should have held their nerve and backed the leader.

I'm just curious why there is so little discussion on MN about David Sullivan - (one thread - not even actually about him). It's almost as if a rich white man, close friends with a famous rich white woman, who made his money from pornography, isn't noticed on MN, even after being accused of being a disgusting multiple rapist bastard.
I've been looking for the multiple threads damning him, complaining about the lack of media coverage, demanding the government do something, and urging people to set fire to West Ham football ground, but I can't find any. Not even convinced that Elon Musk has raised this as another example of how shit the UK is.
Odd...

The BBC TV personality thread has morphed into a very up close discussion about him and his vile abuse of young women. Remarkably quiet, otherwise, though.

That would seem unfair considering the West Ham fans have protested and campaigned against the repulsive slug for years. Lots more to reveal there.

Notonthestairs · 10/06/2026 08:19

Sorry, I missed the quarterly chastisement.

Am I permitted to say that I am both horrified by the terrifying attack on that poor man AND horrified by masked men setting light to houses with people in them?

Robinson/Yaxley Lennon whipping up riots whilst being feted in Russia seems par for the course. Who paid for that trip I wonder?

Read an article about the links between the Tate brothers and crapto investors yesterday. I'll see if I can find a link to it.

Ofcourse it would be unfair, the same way as these riots are unfair.

He already had been banned from contact with the women's and youth teams since 2023.

Brady stepped down in April, did she know it was all coming out?

I know nothing about football. I didn’t realise “It’s Baroness Brady to you” was associated with that repellent excuse for a human being. It seems highly unlikely that she was unaware, which makes her complicit.

All whipped up by Musk, Lowe, YSL, Farage etc.

And some PSNI officers by all accounts. It will be interesting to see how many arrests there were.

^I agree, it would make her complicit. And sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if she knew what was going on.

Reform Jersey is a left-wing party.

But a person of your undoubted intellect and keenness of mind, so often displayed on these threads, would know that.

When I post without comment, its to the intelligence (or on some cases otherwise) of the audience.

I am please you noticed.

If you live in teh real world, you realise very quickly that MN is not in anyway a reflection of it. How that affects the share values I can't say.

Absolutely. The MN ones were out in force last night, proclaiming the tide has turned their way. "Their way " being burning people out of their homes and rioting, it appears.

Seems for some that burning innocent people out of their homes and causing carnage is a completely rational response to the attack - this I can never get my head around, ever.

Feel like some on here and other sm actually hoped a Belfast equivalent would come to a city near them - the absolute fucking stupidity also astounds me!

BIossomtoes · 10/06/2026 09:35

Never be astounded by stupidity. The human race has an infinite supply of it.

BIWI · 10/06/2026 09:41

I tell you what we need to discuss @derxa - as I'm sure you're reading here - is why the far right absolutely love events like this, so they can whip up fury and violence. Which they then use to 'prove' that law and order in the UK is failing. All because of 'illegal immigration'.

The poor man at the heart of this is forgotten in the outpouring of mindless hate and violence.

It's part of the low rent mindset.

Offenders not victims.
