For some one who claims to hate the snowflakes on the left, C69 really tries to gun for the ones on the right, he brinsg them up everytime, even though they are mostly taking the piss or using the lefts logic against them.

Tbf, that is basically a Cherwell/OxStu article that has somehow found its way into the Guardian. The journalist actually does write for Cherwell.

It has caused a lot of uproar here though. I can see both sides. Yanis Varoufakis was here yesterday, and wanted the Union to massively challenge Bannon.

Conservatives are scared of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apaprently. Despite the fact she is so bad on figures and finances (Where the f*ck did she get her economics degree?) and is basically embarrassingly bad on TV every time she tries to use them before running away from any public debate, hey are apparently scared of her. I doubt it, I've seen nothing but laughter from most conservatives at one gaff after another. Her maths frequently makes Diane Abbot look like a numerical genius.

There will always be jobs for Conservatives in Washington. The people who should be really scared are the power-crazed numbskulls in the Democrat party who thought they could control this Frankenstein monster of diversity and third world idiocy they've unleashed upon America. Joe whattisname the hardscrabble Irish bloke she's displaced is currently sitting at home in his gruts drinking guiness wondering wtf happened.
Iimo there are crazy political monsters on both sides. Conservatives guns toting, anti-abortion, anti-healthcare, anti-environmental stances can't be for society. Look for all the shootings in schools. Likewise the insane "we'll spend like there is no bankruptcy, Maths what's that?" approach couldn't with some insane stances like claiming "women with a penis is no different to biological women and your a bigot if you say otherwise" SJW, hierarchy of oppression type of thinking.

Not the Guardian, but just had the misfortune to catch ten minutes of a discussion between two feminists on R4 Womens Hour. Fark me. It was like a knife fight in a phone box. Discussing whether trans women are women. Solid batshit from start to finish. This is why people hate political correctness.

Carys Afoko

We rarely tell positive stories about men and it’s time we stopped being part of a culture that vilifies them
I fear this attitude won't last long.

'The orgasm gap' is a new one on me. I know there's long been a narrative about female sexual gratification being neglected by men, but I've never seen it formalised in the terminology of the pay gap or positioned alongside it in terms of importance as a touchstone for gender inequality.

I think Tim Pool mentioned for all her hype something like 80 or 90% of far left candidates failed in the primaries making the narrative the Democrats are going left a false one. This only makes her stand out as a attention magnet who will be a liability given her prior performances, SJW excuse making and idiotic economic statements. Some examples of her terrible performances:

Stan Collymore talks some absolute bollocks:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/bl ... -collymore

He basically says people are racist because they don't like people of his colour, and illustrates it with an example of a fued between him.....and Ian Wright, because the public took Wrighty's side :lol: :lol: :lol: ALso apparently Wrighty is accept because he isn't outspoken :lol: He then list 4 or 5 other black presenters as being acceptable or popular because of their attutudes. Yes Stan I would imagine a presenters personality is hugely relevant for a mainstream presenting job. Maybe Stan isn't accepted because Stan Collymore is a dangerous women beating prick. He doesn't bring that up when complaining on media CVs.

To be fair, this sin't typical Guardian ridiculousness but they did print this ridiculous opinion piece.

Disney committing an act of colonialism by attempting to trade-mark 'Hakuna Matata'


https://www.theguardian.com/global-deve ... ing-remake


They absolutely shouldn't be allowed to do it, but the accusation of colonialism is misplaced and shrill.

As the article notes in the final paragraph, Disney tried the same thing with Dia de los Muertos recently when they brought out a film with those themes.

It's a story about corporate overreach and objectionable attempts to commodify existing language that predates the company's usage of it, not of cultural appropriation.

Dressing up legitimate issues with this kind of bollocks risks diverting attention from what's truly happening and what people should be angry about.

- New years day swim with photos of attractive Geordie lasses freezing their tits off in minus temperatures

- 'Snowmageddon' - when a dusting of snow covers the South Downs

- 'Travel Chaos' every bank holiday

- '80mph Gales' complete with photo of women struggling in wind with inside out umbrella on London Bridge.

- 'Scorcher' - with a photo of a load of fat sunburnt twats on a packed Brighton beach
