Allister Heath knows who to blame; immigrants, lefties, woke and the Tory Party for being too social democratic. Flapping white coat stuff.

For the first time in my life, I’m now beginning to think Britain is finished
The country’s self-image as tolerant, decent and hard-working is being smashed. It’s only going to get worse https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/0 ... s-finishe/

He's an enfeebled, whiny, self-pitying cunt. Perhaps he'd like to fuck off elsewhere. I hear Rwanda's nice at this time of the year.

Ha ha ha.

There were of course rather a lot of Irish weavers.

Bit of a kerfluffle over Unherd and GB News fella Paul Marshall, who supposedly has his eye on owning the Telegraph and the Spectator.

Marshall has repeatedly liked and retweeted extremist content from an array of far-right and conspiracy theorist accounts for months, endorsing tweets that call for mass-deportations and suggest a civil war between “native Europeans” and “fake refugee invaders” is imminent.

The story has also featured on The News Agents podcast.

As awful as this is, I can’t understand why anyone would think that an affinity for far right content would make Marshall an unsuitable owner of the Torygraph and the Speccie. Given the state of them these days he strikes me as perfect.

I choose to believe that the subs are miserable wage slaves who despise her, the paper and themselves.

That's like something Arthur used to come out with when Chisholm was after him for handling stolen goods.

Allister Heath's bleak vision as an audio book.


It raises an interesting prospect.
What if Labour with a 200 majority offers to lend 80 seats to the LibDems to secure their oppositionhood.

This is somehow a real article in an allegedly serious paper.

The entitled British public have been dreadful this election

Tl;dr - people dared push back against arseholes and didn’t do as they were told

Never change Torygraph. Never change.

Lots of people in that photo aren't Muslim, of course.

I am a bit worried though. There's a distinct Hindu-Muslim polarisation that you see in the awful Bob Blackman's majority going up, and in Leicester (albeit aided couple of clown ex-Labour MPs).

And I'm sceptical that the movement is going to remain focussed on human rights in Gaza and Islamophobia. The independents are a variable lot- the one who nearly beat Jess Phillips is a lunatic. The one who nearly beat Rushanara Ali seems dim. And the one who went after Shabana Mahmood joshed on the radio about domestic violence and seems to like Andrew Tate. Others seem OK, like the one who won in Dewsbury and Keighley and Leanne Mohammed.

Most of those felt they had to acknowledge Galloway's support, which is understandable I suppose, but at least they didn't join his explicitly bigoted party. Lots have and got good results. That is worrying. I fear that could easily go the full "Rothschilds" with added men shouting about gays outside schools.

Did that seedy strip lawyer win a seat? A local character.

I'm not sure which one you mean. The full of himself Andrew Tate fan lawyer up against Shabana Mahmood lost.

Actually, I take back what I said about Keith Vaz there. He probably took a bunch of Hindu votes off the Tories. He was in the seat that they won rather than the one the Independent won. I think the Tory Leicester seat (Leicester East) may be gone for a while.

That sounds like him. He touts his trade on TikTok to drug dealers promising to pull strokes to reduce their sentences.

That is the same guy.

Per what Arrowhead said, nice flats in Digbeth means he won't win next time.

I've previously missed this support Reform have among young graduates, I must say.

If speed of change in your community makes you vote Reform, funny how they've got very little support in Inner London and lots in rural Lincolnshire.

As for kids playing in the streets, it was Telegraph readers heading for the golf club in their Jag at 45mph in a thirty limit that knocked that tradition on the head round here.

Christian charity = someone else pays, not me
