He is a full shade whiter for the Kippish leaflet. Obviously.

[Watchman]

It must be due to the summer recess, or non-entity backbenchers have been instructed, but my MP seems to be doing a round of “flower festivals and dog shows”, to try and get a bit of “positive” coverage. Although its her day to day level of usefulness anyway

[davidjay]

Sometimes you read something and you think, "Nailed it."

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Tell me again about the rigorous checks you did on the Bibby before putting asylum seekers on it...

[Crabcakes]

I suspect the rigorous checks extended as far as someone kicking the side and saying “yeah, seems alright”.

[Andy McDandy]

And cue the government saying "Look, we evacuated the barge!" as "proof" of their compassion.

[Boiler]

Mmmm. Add in talk of TB and the rapid rise of Covid 'Eris'...

[Crabcakes]

Civil servant: Home Secretary, I’m afraid if the barge remains untenable we’ll have to move the proposed residents elsewhere.

Braverman: I see. Yes, I can see we will have to move lots of asylum seekers to another, temporary site. Gather them all in one convenient, hard to escape place.

CS: But Home Secretary, that could put them at high risk of attack, or disease outbreak…

Braverman: <looks dreamily off into the middle distance> Yes. All in one remote place with simple portakabins, far away from scrutiny. Or to put it another way, concentrate them, somehow. In some sort of camp.

Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

I believe Friday Bridge is still standing...

[Abernathy]

And especially, ESPECIALLY, Stephen fucking Barclay, the total, utter cunt that he is. I want him boiled in fucking oil.

Eight months on, and I still wish painful harm on this utter fucking wankstain. He keeps popping up on the news brainfarting about “a fair and final offer”. I want to punch his chubby shiny face to a bloody pulp.

[Boiler]

On the forum I alluded to earlier, that remark would have got you in trouble according to rule 7.4 - "A contribution must not [...] promote violence"

(even though Barclay deserves it)

How the hell the ones that are discriminatory are deemed okay then...

[Abernathy]

As we discussed at the time, we are fortunate that Mailwatch has no such prissy rules.

[Watchman]

At least they’ve managed to stop one boat

[Abernathy]

A Facebook friend has observed that the government is attempting to deal with migrants crossing the channel in dangerous boats . . . by putting them on a dangerous boat.

[Boiler]

With the news of the lives of six more souls at sea today, the Brains Trust that is the Daily Mail commentariat are out in full force - and I'd remind you, the comments there are now moderated:

"Time to scrap Maritime Law..." dear God, can they walk and chew gum at the same time?

[davidjay]

We have to accept that the initial reaction of many of our fellow countrymen will have been, "It's not a lot, but it's a start."

A point made to me by a member of the border security forces when a hapless asylum seeker was killed by a train in the Channel Tunnel...

A point made to me by a member of the border security forces when a hapless asylum seeker was killed by a train in the Channel Tunnel...

I once met someone who worked for Border Force who dealt with deportations. It could have been the same person that you met, but his views were strikingly similar...

[Malcolm Armsteen]

This was a woman. A very unpleasant woman...

[Boiler]

Ah.
