Get a Therad Morans!!!

About 52% of the UK GDP is wasted on public sector workers.

The public sector should be cut back. Local councils should be scrapped - they are a cancer. NHS managers should be executed. The number of MPs should be cut (with an axe) from 650 to 100.

Let's go the hole hog, have a revolution, kill all public sector workers and politicians, and start with clean slate to build a decent society.

Public sector workers are vermin.

God. Some people.

Don't be a cunt, Henry.

I don't think that edit was called for.

I think it was.

Sincerely, any personal snark aside, are we okay to laugh at one kind of political hyperbole but not another?

I missed it, can you put it up again and then take it away a coupla seconds later?

The personal snark is the problem, Noodle, not the nature of the political hyperbole.

xpost

It was a comment posted to the Boris vs Ken thread in which the virtues of Livingstone were enthused on in somewhat purple prose.

Yes, welcome back Henry, nothing changes I see

Everything changes but you
Were a thousand miles apart
But you know I love you
Everything changes but you
You know everyhting single day
Ill be thinking about you

Where were you anyway? Boris call you in to do some canvassing?

I put him in hospital

Private I hope

I love reading De Telegraaf site with my dad. There's some hilarious comments on there. Esp before it's been moderated (so late at night before the mod comes in to delete half what's been posted). Or HLN.be which is also a newssite.

no nrq's really happy now that the anti-semitic ken livingstone has got his comeuppance

hahahahaha

good stuff chaps

noodle Gets It. also, the goal was kind of wide open here for a big ol' zing.

So fucking glad this board didn't exist in the mid-80s, because the "Well, the only way anyone could oppose Militant is if they were a Tory" handwringing would have been fucking unbearable.

also, green screen yuck.

lol no, the cap'n-save-a-ken lot would all be SDP.

And we all know where you'd be

Is that the same Militant tendency who figured, a la Fred Engels, that homosexuality was a bourgeois perversion that would disappear under the dictatorship of the proletariat?

I don't think this "pointing out that Livingstone is a career opportunist = being a Tory" thang is working, tbh.

People point out that Livingstone is a career opportunist all the time

But not all do it via dreary life-sapping one-note trolling

wtf?

instead of life-enhancing thoughtless cheerleading a la pinefox?

Oh yeah, that's right, only the two possibilities exist

I think the issue is the back handed insult by lazy C & Ping.

See the latest clusterfuck that happened whilst you were away regarding new mod rules, NRQ.

Give me daft over dreary any day of the week

Srsly isn't that the point of this thread?

yes, but to anonymous weasels we don't know.

Don't agree with deleting of posts on this thread

That's a bit much

I'm trying to be the voice of reason and sweetness here but I don't think that's reasonable. Happy enough with taking potshots at anonymous weasels, but think we can impugn people we know's opinions without accusing them of weaseldom.

link!!??

fair play tom, if you want a politics thread that involves no debate at all, and comprises people saying 'boris, tch', and not engaging with any possible problems your candidate might have, knock yourself out.

I don't want that and I don't want to fall out with you, I'm just a bit bored with your schtick. It's dull, at least Dom is funny.

"Don't cross the streams. It would be bad."

Sorry, NRQ, I can't find the new posting rules clusterfuck, I cannot remember what it was called.

here

well, i guess the mods haven't outlawed rickrolling. maybe there's hope.

not an rickroll btw

LOL.

I don't even know what a rickroll is

ask tuomas

It's kinda dreary and life-sapping.

I need to know what music is playing in that video like now.

Best guess: The Man Don't Give a Duck.

Oh right, ha, I've been rickrolled before

^^^ First line of song

A song that needs to be written!

To return to Sam Dandy of Opressionville's original point, how many people on here are lol public sector workers wasting away the Friday afternoon?

I think Sam Dandy might have been my old boss actually. I seem to remember him having some sort of 'Look! You post a comment and it appears immediately!' epiphany just before I walked out.

I assume Sam Dandy drives a lorry or something, so looking forward to him and his pals' brave new world once I've been executed.

Who will clean up the bodies that's what I want to know.

Agency staff

But they will then be public sector workers and then we'll have to execute them and then we'll need somebody to clean up those bodies and MALFUNCTION MALFUNCTION

Peter Hitchens just hasn't thought this through yet

If we kill all the public sector workers we'll have to reanimate their bodies in order to hire them back at half the price and science hasn't moved onto that extent yet.

Listen to DJ Soulslinger's remix of MC Det's "Abducted" - the whole tune is basically a showcase for cool drum sounds.

I guess I could upload it here once I get home, everyone needs to hear this tune.

Whoops, this was supposed to be on ILM!

10/10, great thread

I missed it, can you put it up again and then take it away a coupla seconds later?
