It’s when you leave London you do notice what you took for granted when you return. It looks like Switzerland compared to some provincial town, very little litter on well maintained streets. And you’re never more than five minutes from a well maintained park. A very green metropolis.

Two things that London has in abundance are comparatively quiet bits and good (albeit bloody expensive) pubs, both usually mo more than five minutes away.

Matt’s gut has spoken, its all over for Kamala.

[mattomac]

Probably means she will be president.

[Bones McCoy]

Matt finally reveals the methodology behind all those shit GB News polls.

"Gut Instinct".

[Tubby Isaacs]

More gut instinct.

There aren't many regional polls, probably because the area is too wide and lots of Americans don't really bother with other states. But if that many people have heard of him and don't like him, that's not good for him.

[The Weeping Angel]

He can fuck off back to Hungary

I'm sure that anybody who has been on an all exclusive holiday to any country in the world could well come back and say that they have not witnessed any poverty or crime.

[Oboogie]

I'm sure that anybody who has been on an all exclusive holiday to any country in the world could well come back and say that they have not witnessed any poverty or crime.

I occasionally watch American YouTube videos about their visits to the UK. They do the London sights, maybe an excursion to Stonehenge Stratford or Oxford. Some venture North and see rolling hills en route to York Minster and Hadrian's wall. There's poverty in all these areas of course, but the tourists don't see any in the museums, castles and palaces they visit.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I'm not Tim's biggest fan, but fair play here.

[Youngian]

Matt’s got an eye on the lucrative US alt right and MAGA lecture circuit.

[Andy McDandy]

Just fucking no. I know he's never going to read this, and that I'm preaching to the converted here, but...

Just look at the vermin who have been rioting the last few days. They're the worst of the worst. Thick, entitled, profoundly ignorant about the country they claim to love. One clip showed a guy yearning for high streets full of pubs and betting shops - as if he's never been down one recently. But it sums them up. Booze and betting. Abdication of responsibility. Hiding in the mob. Rather be in the pub than have some bird doing his head in. Shut up, I'm trying to watch this. Can't fry an egg and proud of it. You know what? Fuck off and die. You contribute nothing.

Some of these stains have had 60 or so years on this planet, and in that time have created, achieved, gained, gifted, contributed precisely fuck and all. Yet they still have homes, the money to get drunk in shit pubs, to travel to distant towns to have a ruck. Where the fuck is their money coming from? Fucking freeloaders.

They have had every advantage of growing up and living in a reasonably peaceful, technologically advanced country with a high standard of living, and they didn't give a shit. They wasted opportunities that a good percentage of the world's people would crawl over broken glass to taste. And still, what was their beef? That they didn't feel listened to, or that they felt uncomfortable. Well, cry me a fucking river. You idiotic, obscene, bloated, wasteful man-children. So nobody was around to hold your fucking hands and spoon feed you the lives you thought were yours by right.

If we give in to these cunts, they've won. If we have an "honest debate" about immigration (by which they mean everyone gruffly agreeing with Fargle), they've won. If we acknowledge "genuine concerns", they've won (and while we're at it, let's compare those "genuine concerns" to the people described as useful idiots by the RW press for wanting Israel to stop blowing the shit out of Gaza...). They are fucking cretins and they are wrong, and let's fuck this equivalence into a cocked hat. Thick twat vs reasonable person isn't an equal fight and never should be.

Fuck them all and hold up their crying heads to the kids and ask them if that's what they want to be when they grow up. You want a decent life, white working class boy? Then work just as hard as everyone else has to for one.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Magnifique.

[Abernathy]

Precisely correct in every regard. There are no "legitimate concerns".

[RedSparrows]

Just fucking no. I know he's never going to read this, and that I'm preaching to the converted here, but...

Now now Andy, don't hold back.

The Israel/Gaza thing is a good point: just look at how any other protest is treated...

[Philip Marlow]

I’d say the fella was digging his own grave, but this genteel fash routine doesn’t seem to be harming his media profile any.

[Youngian]

How in the world would a white person in Stockport or Middlesborough feel like an endangered minority?
I wonder if this racist prick ever questions whether the off spring of Irish, Scottish, Italian or Polish parents are English.

[Philip Marlow]

I get the sense that both Goodwin and Murray really want to be contemporary Oswald Spenglers, although at this point the original was probably less overtly racist than either of them.

[Yug]

We've just seen what happens when "the public" try to sort things out themselves.

Did anyone have Gregg's and Lush down as hotbeds of Islamic terrorism?

[Philip Marlow]

Lush sell bath bombs. I mean the word ‘bombs’ is right there, man. Definitely something fishy going on.

That Murray rant has reminded me of the time Tracy-Ann Oberman posted a beaming selfie with him after he went to see the production of The Merchant of Venice she’s starring in, set in the East End in 1936. I do remember wondering whether she’d considered the possibility that 1936 vintage Murray would quite probably have been team Moseley.

[Crabcakes]

Matt Goodwin is now no longer employed by the University of Kent, and so is no longer a professor of anything.

Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time etc
