?? They last won a majority in 1992, which will be 23 years ago come the next election.

i guess i went by them having the majority until losing it in 1997

this is way more interesting than anything to do with russell brand imo

John Major lost his majority in 1996.

doesn’t matter what the content is, as long as it’s content (onimo), Monday, 8 December 2014 11:02 (ten years ago)

^ possibly an unfruitful tangent but that's correct iirc, Major chose to temporarily fuck up Northern Ireland peace process in order to get ulster unionist votes to keep his obviously doomed government in power for another year.

Hmmm he just tweeted a Daily Mail senior reporter's business card (implication is that the mobile number on it is a personal one but idk)).

You can only win a majority at an election. You don't keep winning it every day until the next one.

Re-Make/Re-Model, Monday, 8 December 2014 14:49 (ten years ago)

No, but you *have* a majority until you don't got one. Useful for voting in changes you like and *they* don't.

Mark G, Monday, 8 December 2014 14:58 (ten years ago)

in that sense if you already had a majority coming into an election, kept power, but lost some of the majority, have you still "won" the majority? I'd say no and Tory hasn't "won" any majority since 83 and piscesx is 49

Imagine how stupid The Sun has to be to take this on like this. They're so easy to just rip apart like this. They must be petrified by him.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 8 December 2014 17:40 (ten years ago)

That was too many like this, sorry for making you read that like this

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 8 December 2014 17:40 (ten years ago)

Oh yeah, terrified. What planet are you from?

Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 8 December 2014 17:42 (ten years ago)

I am starting think Russell Brand is like the UK equivalent of Bill Maher - or at least, he seems to occupy a similar space on the socio-political spectrum

Οὖτις, Monday, 8 December 2014 17:46 (ten years ago)

c+p from The Sun website (not)

Turns out that over long, annoyingly written, confused, and whiny open letter from an RBS employee was written by an ex uni pal I defriended on Facebook ages ago for posting annoying and confused political screeds.

ledge, Thursday, 18 December 2014 11:58 (ten years ago)

ah so he wasn't just an RBS sock then?

dive inside water and you will know (dog latin), Thursday, 18 December 2014 12:02 (ten years ago)

No just some self confessed right winger with opinions 4 u.

ledge, Thursday, 18 December 2014 12:10 (ten years ago)

Ohhh shit, him!

JimD, Thursday, 18 December 2014 14:05 (ten years ago)

I should probably stop reading his blog now.

What over long, annoyingly written, confused, and whiny open letter from an RBS employee?

Root It Oot (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:20 (ten years ago)

it's waaaay too long and whiny for anyone to read.

three years pass...

English speaking people: want to know what's even worse than having an audible, somewhat understandable Russell Brand in your country? Having Russell Brand as a guest in a non-English speaking country. Apparently this twat has a book out and is doing some sort of EU book tour. First stop: the most watched Dutch late night show. With Russell looking half dead and high on skelp cracking jokes about whatever issue he doesn't know a thing about. Being welcomed as some sort of an hero, solely because said late night show landed a guest that isn't Dutch. So proud, so glad. So fucked.

Good luck w/ "funnily" sticking up for the Dutch alt-right figurehead because you think he looks like you, you absolute twat. The violent communist revolution can't come soon enough. Off to the gulag with this fuck.

Be careful now, you can't be slagging off celebz on ILX, some people get upset :p

calzino, Monday, 19 February 2018 22:40 (seven years ago)

Lol @ calzino trying to joke about other posters being predictable

All in fun it’s the internet. also sorry LBI - why were you watching that anyway?

El Tomboto, Monday, 19 February 2018 22:50 (seven years ago)

yawn btw, el tom.

calzino, Monday, 19 February 2018 22:53 (seven years ago)

I was trapped in the belly of the capitalist death machine we live in, Tombot; ie I was watching the tube. Should've known better, yes. But it was thrown in my face. Bloody Nora. Russell needs to be shot. We all deserve to be shot tbh. Russell first tho.

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 19 February 2018 23:26 (seven years ago)

he's good TV in America but only because our talking heads are so across-the-board pathetic

trife's rich padgett (rip van wanko), Monday, 19 February 2018 23:57 (seven years ago)

(and he's good at exposing and exploiting that, I mean)

trife's rich padgett (rip van wanko), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:04 (seven years ago)

Well, yeah. America kind of deserves a botched tool like Brand to be a spectacle or "good tv" on telly. "Good tv" isn't as good as it used to be.

(gotcha rip)

It's just this whole self-fabricated cult around him, and that people fall for it, that annoys me. We all know he's in it for the money/ego/money/money. And yet "we" choose to play along and welcome him into our homes as some sort of savior or "fresh" voice. Knowing the cynical machinery of television reality only makes it worse. Nothing means anything any more. It's about grades, numbers, money, ego oh and money. Perfect fit, really. I'm so tired of that shit.

If the Brands of the world are the "intersting guests" on telly nowadays, that's a sad state of affairs. #societyisinthegutteretc

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:09 (seven years ago)

I mean don't get me wrong I've hated this yutz ever since he came on my screen years ago, I think for some crap NBC fill-in around the London Olympics, and he was explaining the Union Jack and talked shit about the blue part because it was the Scottish bit, ha ha, yuck, Scotland. Nobody is going to miss this idiot when he disappears at sea.

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:42 (seven years ago)

Actually I guess his "mum" will since she cried when Graham Norton asked him a question on "good tv" that one time six years ago

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:45 (seven years ago)

thanks your *unpredictability* there, it was genuinely heartening + angry agitprop!*

*if you were a martian!

calzino, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:49 (seven years ago)

he makes me feel like I'm still in high school

erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 00:55 (seven years ago)

Was gonna update “things you just dont care about” thread but i like lbi and tombots and if they care, i can care.

There’s worse fake-lebrities, i think.

Hunt3r, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 01:00 (seven years ago)

He'S inspiring potentially millions of people, highlights social causes corporate media does not, and using his huge platform to spread awareness of inequality and fostering a spirit of disobedience to power.

Gets you right here.

Video reach stereo bog (Tom D.), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 01:11 (seven years ago)

his Ed Miliband interview was quite a boon to Cameron in that election campaign, he was definitely inspiring lots of people there.

calzino, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 07:19 (seven years ago)

Ye'll both get a timeout lads there's important work to be done itt in calling brand a shallow nothing distraction of a cunt

DUMPKINS! (darraghmac), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 08:25 (seven years ago)

it's jabbering cunts like him and Izzard that convert hesitant voters into Tories/Brexiters. I'm convinced of this.

calzino, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 08:42 (seven years ago)

I'll leave it up to the individual to decide whether the fact that his most passionate defender on this thread turned out to be an alt-right poshboy twat is of any significance or not.

Video reach stereo bog (Tom D.), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 10:14 (seven years ago)

so many punchlines and nobody I actually want to be mean about

Big Ched aka The Cheesedriver (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 20 February 2018 10:57 (seven years ago)

Slade>>former Slade students>>former Goldsmiths wankers

nothing to do with Brand, but former Slade alumni piss all over the Goldsmiths brats, that include various Blur members and loads of shite YBA debris.

calzino, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 11:05 (seven years ago)

xxp Nah, Dom was actually quite down on him.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 20 February 2018 11:12 (seven years ago)

We all know he's in it for the money/ego

he readily admits this tbfttsndoac
