You do realise he's a comedian who's columns are all a sarcastic piss take whatever the subject matter?
He's not a political journalist though he hits the spot more often than many of them.
Getting the full house here
Socialist. Tick
Lefty rag. Tick
Unbalanced. Tick
Poor man’s Will Self. Tick (although it pains me to admit that’s a fair point)
What I really want to know is which Newspaper tried to pass off a clap for the NHS photo as a clap for Boris photo.
Not sure anyone can say it’s unbalanced either without ignoring the point he makes about the Sun calling NHS staff angels having not that long ago called for junior doctors to be sacked for having the audacity to ask for a pay rise. You want to talk unbalanced look at the behaviour of the Sun newspaper.
twitter is similar- nobody seems capable of a balanced view and everyone has an agenda, I would argue that one of the biggest issues facing the U.K. for the next decade is not just the Coronavirus or Brexit, it’s that society is completely broken, nobody trusts anyone, the gap between ‘haves and have nots’ has never been bigger, everyone is angry at one another and there is open hatred all over the place. In a rare foray into politics I would guess that this heals pressure on Starmer because the need for a coherent, viable opposition has never been greater.
Michael Gove said on TV the other day that it's right to question the government throughout the crisis.
It's not point scoring at all. Same as it's right to praise then if they get something right.
Every government in the world is being scrutinised by its citizens
Stop being silly Dom

He once got booted out the party for one of his “funny” rants about Blair didn’t he?

Bit like this charmer you mean?

This happens every time. Because the U.K. is now turning into USA, if ever someone says anything that has a grain of truth, the opposite side just does everything they can to discredit the writer. Politics here is turning into religion- our chosen side is right no matter what, and if someone says otherwise we’ll do our best to destroy them. Before you know where you are nobody remembers what was said, just that the writer is biased or a prick.
2,000 people died in the last two days and the headline everywhere is that Boris is a fighter, and our prayers have been answered, his strength of character has beaten off COVID19- this is not rational, this is fundamentalism, with Boris as our deity.
Edit based on what Steve said which I agree with, it’s not just ‘the right’- Corbyn became a cult as well. Our society is badly out of shape.
Spot on. I think it’s not just the UK but a lot of the western world, in particular trust/acceptance of others views and opinions. Read a book recently (rare for me - poor attention span !) called Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed. There’s a chapter about echo chambers (and information bubbles) which is very interesting as a lot of it is about lack of trust in others views and bizarrely how with more information available now than ever before (which should encourage more balanced views) most have become even more polarised
Again your game.But you knew I’d said it - David goes mystic meg on us
This again is Grendulls game.He has a mole apparently. If that's real it must the only human being on earth sadder than David. Although let's just assume thats not possible.

steve, I’m going to find that book. And before I read it I’m going to deliberately not look into Mr Syed’s affiliations so I can read it with an open mind..
I honestly wasn't going to get drawn into it today but waking up seeing the forums number 1 tosspot lying away like usual set me off.Im an argumentative prick but some of you are taking it to a next level.
Chill the fuck out and back away from the internet for a couple of days!
Corbyn didn’t become a cult... it was more that someone came along that offered a different way of doing things and lots of people that were disenfranchised, disengaged and left behind finally felt their voices could be heard.
Yes they made lots of mistakes, but it’s quite a sad indictment that the notion of wanting to be part of a better world is deemed ‘cultish’ yet the ideological pursuit of Brexit (which is talked up as some kind of resurrection of the British Empire) is not.
Geoff Northcot is actually one of my favourite comedians. Strange as I’m apparently a snowflake lefty.I once again don't think people have the piece in question.
It's no different to went Frankie Boyle flays everyone to within an inch of their lives or when someone like Geoff Northcot goes on a right wing rant about the left.
Once again trying to point score, I think it’s pretty low in all honesty
You are all racist lefty right loving, Corbyn shagging Boris loving pricks.
Go out and sit in the garden.
Just calling it as I saw it as someone reasonably independent watching from the outside in. Would I rather have had Corbyn win or Boris- I think it’s pretty obvious to all who I’d have gone for given that choice. But trust me- with a sensible hat on Corbyn did not present a viable alternative, you only have to look at his brexit stance for that. But like I say, I’m not here for the political specifics. My point is that the mechanics of how people think and evaluate is completely messed up, politics is now religion.
can't next doors net curtain keeps twitchingYou are all racist lefty right loving, Corbyn shagging Boris loving pricks.

Im not allowedpharmacist said I can’t go in direct sun on my antibiotics.
really? I never knew that about antibiotics
He's not taking this well.This again is Grendulls game.
Sit in the shade then.Im not allowedpharmacist said I can’t go in direct sun on my antibiotics.
The issue with these is they can take weeks to be reported and not all will be covid-19 cases as there is very likely actual testing there.Noticed this earlier, sadly it seems to be happening across many countries, depressing to think how high the actual figures could be.
Covid-19: Hundreds of UK care home deaths not added to official toll
Sit in the shade then.
Get some beers.
I get people passionately supporting their football team and arguing but when it's Corbyn and Boris Johnson and who is best. Get a grip.
But if i sit in the shade with a few beers i'm likely to get the copper chopper buszzing around my head unless it is still down walsgraveSit in the shade then.

Yeah TBF who runs the country and the impacts that has on people’s lives isn’t as important as a few blokes kicking a bag of wind about.
