Article pointing out how out of touch the right wing masonic met leadership is, the rot starts at the top.

 

Watching my second team (the utterly **** Donny Rovers) beating Everton.

Everton are every bit as bad as we were last year on current viewing.

Edit: Well this wasn’t the right thread….

 

Let's go through some of this, shall we:

Not legalized, decriminalized. There is a difference. The purpose is to provide support rather than arrest people who are addicted to drugs (and provide safe access to substances that aren't tainted with fentanyl/carfentanyl), based on a similar program in Portugal where doing the same vastly reduced drug deaths and disease transmission among addicts:

This isn't a thing. Beyond the fact that this isn't a thing, education is administered at the provincial level...the federal government has no say in such matters (there's currently a massive knock-down fight in New Brunswick over it, with a very conservative government that is tearing itself to shreds over the issue). The provincial government of Ontario, where Toronto is located, has been Conservative for the past five years.

You have to jump through an incredible number of hoops to pursue assisted suicide...I know, because I know someone who chose it owing to their end-stage cancer. Our regime is miles more restrictive than those of many European countries (requires that you be terminally ill; many in Europe don't).

What in the absolute **** is this bullshit? The Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that over 4,000 identified children died in residential schools. They have since found unmarked mass graves containing the bodies of up to 2,000 more kids. The TRC that was set up in 2008, by the Conservative government. Here is the apology given by the Conservative Prime Minister at the time:

The author is a liar and a hack and he can **** right off.

 

Sounds familiar?

 

"In America, activists focus on the country’s history of slavery and racist laws. In Britain, they focus on the Empire. In Canada, where historically there were very few black people, the nation’s story of guilt centres on a so-called genocide against its indigenous population."

I mean, it's not like settlers in America slaughtered the indigenous population too...but I suppose in this strange person's mind that was a "so-called" thing as well? What a bizarre statement. One rather doubts the indigenous population of Canada are *checks notes*...French and British...

 

Having read the article your dismantling of it point by point is no more than I expected having seen Edgington's publishings utter tosh all. How anyone can put that forward as legitimate comment is beyond me.

 

It's almost as if an accurate accounting of history in almost every country will involve some really dark deeds. If it doesn't, you aren't dealing with history, you're dealing with mythology. And building a nation around a bunch of grandiose myths is...generally not ideal. Always ends badly for Poland.

Isn’t this that episode of Black Mirror…?

 

Which episode? I haven't seen any of the series. There should be a tub of grease nearby.

 

Grant ****ing Shapps in charge of the Nations defence

 

Ben Wallace is the only cabinet minister in the whole Boris-Liz-Rishi era who left his post with a better reputation than he had at outset, so it's smart to really reset expectations with someone like Shapps.

 

Canada up to their old tricks again.

People also ask;

What is drag in cricket?
"Drag is a term used in cricket that describes the motion displayed when a bowler manages to move his rear foot forward before releasing the ball."


The above is quite true but the Canadian cricket team have found another meaning.

That seems like good news.

 

Twitter is now allowing advertising consisting of the Fourteen Words, an explicitly white supremacist slogan, with the ad removing all doubt by (correctly) ascribing the quote to David Lane, the author...and a neo-Nazi who died in prison while serving a life sentence for his part in multiple murders.

The ad is still up, and the author (above) is gleefully retweeting all of those upset that they're getting explicitly Nazi ads. This came on the same day that Elon bandwagoned a movement started by unapologetic Hitler stan Nick Fuentes to deplatform the Anti-Defamation League. For those who haven't closed out their Twitter accounts, just something to think about.

 

For all the Andrew Tate fans out there: Great News!

There's now a crowdfunder to give Tate a chance to clear his name in the British courts.

Funded, thanks for the link.

Now I am fully hoping for him to sit him down in front of a webcam to perform for my fee, 14 hours a day for the next 16 years, so he can work off his debt.

 

Have I missed something? I thought he was rolling in money. Why does he need to crowd fund his defence ? Or is that just thing that these grifter types do ?
