That’s hilarious!

[Trarchus]

Where does someone stand politically who wants to see a more fairer tax system and the renationalisation of our major services to pay for things like affordable council housing for all, free education for all, free broadband, better returns on their public pension pots and a decent minimum wage?

That's marxist talk - we don't want that. We want to go shopping without a face-covering, we want to revere our unknown statues and not be informed of their less-than-glorious actions, we want to be able to call a coont a coont without being called a coont, we want our vegetables weighed out in pounds and ounces and we want our diminishing future to be dressed up as a sunlit utopia. These are the important things.

[oi oi saveloy]

Got a job thanks very much Savzzz. It just that most of it is spent on the mac, so unfortunately TBA is never far away.

You don’t need a Mac for toilet cleaning.

[oi oi saveloy]

Unless of course he’s a jock looking for work they’re usually cheap labour.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Oh look its Savzzzzz.
Anyone got a Kestral SuperStrength for Savzzzz? the meths are wearing off.

Ooh, ageist. That's pure David Brent, Tuffers.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Ageist? unfortunately not Deebs. Post-Brexit-fundamentalist-libertarian-nationalists are cross-generational, they'll be spinning us their crap for years yet.

[Deebo]

It was the “diminishing future” bit. I can relate to that.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Ah, got you. I was thinking more along the lines of opportunities rather than a timeline.

[Deebo]

I see. I can relate to diminishing opportunities as well.

[Smirnoffexpress]

Tuffers uses a lot of weird labels to describe normal, perfectly decent people.  Bless.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Smirns, I'm just trying to be precise

[Smirnoffexpress]

 I think you over analyse, there are only two sorts of people, coonts and non coonts. Simple innit.

[scouse]

There are only 10 sorts of people, coonts and those who understand binary.
There are only 10 sorts of people, coonts and those who don't understand binary.
Depending on which side you're on.

Blimey, sounds like you are a real rare bird spouse - a Liverpudlian  intellectual

[scouse]

That's very kind of you to say so, H_n_h.

I think there are probably more of us than you might think.

[Smirnoffexpress]

Watch that Scouse coont, he wants to see the Liver Bird on our Guildhall!

[BilltheCat]

What? Nerys Hughes?

Fuck off!!

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Bill, that was my first thought! I was going to say it but it read like I had some sort of fetish for v. petit bourgeois, scouse brunettes. Which I don't.
Scouse probably had posters of Polly James on his bedroom wall.

[Smirnoffexpress]

Tuffers, that ain’t a bad fetish to have

PS. Bill, that’s the spirit son. “Fook off” ? , do you lapse  back into a quasi working class accent when you mutter those words? Just for effect loike.

[scouse]

You leave my bedroom wall out of this.

[BilltheCat]

With Bolsonaro, hopefully, on his way out in Brazil (another populist tool!) it's nice to see new President-elect Castro in Honduras and the left-wing candidate Gabriel Boric on course for victory in Chile.

And Boric is victorious:

Whoopyfuckingdo, the proof of the pudding will be in four years time.

[BilltheCat]

What's up, Smex? Not enough "working class" people in Chile for you?
