When BTL goes ATL.

PETROL BOMBER ATTACKS MIGRANT CENTRE

Three firebombs thrown into Dover facility

Conditions worsening at 2nd Kent unit

Channel arrivals now near to 40,000 this year

My bold emphasis.

The best selling newspaper in the country has a front page that essentially says "yebbut if they weren't over here..."

Cunts.

Oops.:

Funny thing is, almost everybody commenting recognises a parody when they see one - no 'furious backlash' at all...

[mattomac]

Is this person not a terrorist? Seems pretty obvious to me.

[Bones McCoy]

Again the dissonance.

Headline: Baaad immigrants - enough is enough.

Sidebar: Our tennis girl - from a family of Chinese Pomanian immigrants.


Give it 20 years and nobody will be buying newspapers.

The culture war comes for the weathermen, watch your back traffic wardens. What do they know? Michael Fish, hurricane, they said they’d be an ice age, blah blah

[Oboogie]

The MET office DID predict the big freeze, I check it most days and it's been spot on - allowing for the fact their local measuring station isn't actually in our garden.

Free dead Brenda calendar? Who the fuck wants one of them?

Free dead Brenda calendar? Who the fuck wants one of them?

Would it not be more in the spirit of Monarchism to have a live King calendar, "The Queen is dead, long live the King!" etc etc?

[soulboy]

And an exclusive sidebar of MEGHAN KILLED THE QUEEN!!!!1!

[MisterMuncher]

She was grand when it was just her own son being a nonce and needing to pay off some strumpet to keep him out of the clink, but that Meghan was just too much.

The dead tree Daily Mail is leading with this today.

Britain's business leaders blast Rishi Sunak for 'spectacular own goal' over the hated tourist tax

They have published at least ten other articles and opinion pieces on this over the last two days, including the Daily Mail Comment editorial.

I've not looked at the maths to see if there is a net benefit but the optics aren't great. Tax cuts for the right sort of forrins?

Is there really a huge market of tourists who fancy seeing Buckingham Palace and Madame Tussaud's but see a 20% discount on a Burberry scarf from Harrods as a deal breaker on the trip? How are the little Englander Mailites going to get their two minute hate over this?

[Watchman]

And who exactly hates it? There is again, the language of fermenting anger and division

So how does it work; I assume business cannot simply reduce everything by 20%, and that tourists have to claim VAT back, do they have to this on returning home? Can they be arsed? Is it only worth it on high value goods?
All seems a bit of a moan about nothing in particular

[Andy McDandy]

Where do Lord and Lady Rothermere live, again?

[MisterMuncher]

What's to stop a guy like me handing money to my mate down in Dundalk to head up to Belfast and buy shit, then split the difference later?

[Yug]

Mail readers must be especially thick and ignorant* if this is actually true

People are only just finding out what the symbols 'GR' and 'ER' on postboxes mean - do YOU know their meaning?

* Ok. We know they're thick and ignorant, but this is special, even for them.

20th century border smuggling tales in Ireland are like Minder capers in wellies.

[soulboy]

But not all postboxses are all the same...

F7 is your friend.

Desperate space filling, anything vaguely royal will do.

A VISION OF KEIR'S BRITAIN

Accompanied by two photos of, checks notes, Sunak's Britain.

And the fragrant Nadine sobbing into her gin.

[Watchman]

Nadine, sorry love he’s given it to a younger girl
