Can’t wait for the Mumford and Sons guy to be like “the matrix tried to get you too??” only to be totally blanked by Ed

Taking bets now on Ed Sheeran's disastrous drive to the Right. Collab with Kanye and Tom Macdonald, shaving all his hair, declaring women and minorities are whats wrong with the world, etc. We're about 2 months out from this

One of the faultlines in society is between people who think we should prioritise making sure everyone who's eligible for something gets it, and people who think we should prioritise making sure that nobody who isn't eligible for something gets it

No system is perfect, yes some people might "cheat", but would you rather people who desperately need these things go on suffering so you can be SURE you're not being duped? Why is you not being duped so important that other people have to die for it?

Reports will continue until the government gets the answer it wants picture unrelated, trying to delete

That Wes Streeting ordered this report *less than a month* after NHS England delivered the second part of its independent inquiry into exactly the same thing more than suggests he wanted a very specific answer. Shame on him and on MPs for using health as a scapegoat. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bob Vylan, Kneecap, Macklemore- not just bans but police "terrorism" investigations(!) I don't think there has been music censorship like this since the 1990s/"Parental Advisory "/Cop Killer /2LiveCrew era. There was an Iraq War bit (Dixie Chicks), but not like this. Born of establishment fear imo

I'm going to say it. Thom Yorke should have got way more flak for what he did and said re: Palestine. I suspect part of the reason for that was timing, but also the fact his musical output is considered worthy and credible.

💯 One thing I do agree with is that a lot more people in the public eye should be getting heat for this, alongside him.

was going to delete this because it looks like ass, but it's got 3.5k likes and for me personally numbers mean more than artistic integrity so

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

sorry you fail to appreciate the perfectly crafted politics of "I'm not a literal nazi but I assure you I do hate refugees"

ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking

A skate park does more to reduce knife crime than “more bobbies on the beat”, the only difference is middle class white people are scared of groups of kids at skate parks and they’re comforted by the presence of the police.

The problem with solving youth crime is you need to spend a lot of money now, for results you won’t see for 10-15 years. And not a single politician is willing to look beyond the next election cycle. Like, we know the answer, it’s skate parks and youth clubs.
