What a silly thing to say. You've called it out. You don't need to do it dozens of times and across threads that have nothing to do with it.
Evidently I do, there’s plenty of people who think its acceptable.

You don’t think racism has anything to do with Britain First?
Your head's properly gone on this, what are you even talking about?

You know that scene near the end of Alien where Ripley sets the timers off for detonating the Nostromo, and then minutes later desperately tries to turn them off?

Just saying.

Yes, that's a good analogy . Unbelievable that the Tories would even think about pulling this trick . Anyway , it doesn't matter what leader they have now because it''s already too late . I quite like Penny Mordaunt but it's too late even for her to pull this particular rabbit of the hat . After they get battered at the next election , with what's left of them the Tories will need to regroup and start again in opposition . Labour did it after the last election so the Tories will have to do the same thing after the next one.

It will be interesting to see if the Tories put Sunak front and centre of their campaign, or if they rely more on other cabinet members.

Richy's speech at the lectern announcing the General Election is a wonderful metaphor for the last 14 years of Tory rule. I suspect it will be one of the most repeated news clips in UK History.

I reckon the Greens could end up being this election’s best value for LOLs. Especially now that all the cranks are defecting to them and they're having to become a "broad church" party.

I genuinely cannot wait for the new “allahu akbar” Greens to share a platform with the “women can have a penis, actually” Greens. This is going to be a blast.

Does Furrage have a bald thug and person of colour follow him around everywhere? (Presumably as security/to show he's not racialist?)

It looks like the following Bills are going to be shelved and not make the wash-up before the elections:

The Smoking Ban Bill - this was a good idea.
The Renters Reform Bill - this almost had the potential to actually make a minor improvement to the UK housing market, but they would probably have scrapped the good bits anyway.
The Leasehold & Freehold Reform Bill - 22 years too late already, but I actually helped to author a few very minor sections of this one so have a vested interest.
