He learnt everything he knows during his time in post-Soviet Russia. Sell off every public asset to venture capital, rip everything up, many an opportunity will crop up for enterprising fellows in the chaos and misery that ensues. Like gulling investors into financing a fake airline to some distant part of the empire under the pretense it’s going to be the next happening place. Or failing that, copper wiring.

Yeah, a disruption guy - post-Soviet Russia and techbro ideology are very closely aligned in many ways. (I’d actually managed to forget the Russia thing, so much of this bullshit going on it’s hard to keep track)

Eww. Just watching bbc news and they film Laura K like she’s in a fly on the wall documentary. So gross.

You should check out Dmitry Firtash - he’s a big investor in silicon valley and very close to Putin.

Michelle Donelan apparently

nope, me neither. MP for Chippenham apparently. Chippenham Town FC’s keeper is a fucking loon who punched two of our players when we played them away and only got sent off the second time, and we lost. at least a) it was a cracking boozy away day and b) we knackered them at home even though our pitch was an absolute state (last home game we played… 4th Jan!! :frowning: )

we = Tonbridge

Tonbridge = even safer Tory seat than Tunbridge Wells

like if u cri everytim at living in Tory heartlands xx

It’s that 80s Spitting Image sketch - ‘and the vegetables?’ ‘Oh, they’ll have the same’

I thought he was a very clever parody initially, but if you look back over his past tweets it appears he really is a genuine sexist, homophobic, racist idiot.

Or he’s put massive effort into the groundwork for this truly incredible payoff.

This is funny and all but have things actually changed yet in regards to passport checking? He’s in the queue for an e-passport reader.

Been through schiphol twice since brexit day and it’s been fine. Still using the EU queues and gates. He’s either chatting shite or is bad at using airports or had a non-brexit related delay.

Going to be honest, all that matters to me is that Colin is a bad man and has had a bad time, which is funny to me. And if he thinks this is because of Brexit, then this is also funny.

Shouldn’t change until December.

found this quite interesting given the prevailing narrative about LEFT BEHIND PLACES. tl;dr slightly worse off on a few things than the national average but either closer to the national average, or even above average, than other Labour seats on a bunch of stuff like home ownership, earnings etc

I believe it might be a Barry Stanton-esque parody, albeit with better technique. That @oldbob1944 who also often tweeted about Leicester City amongst gammony nonsense and “walloping” is probably behind it.

#273

As (for the most part) a fan of Bob’s work, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the same person behind it.

#274

Yeah, I didn’t think it was as good. Not enough chat about walloping.
