I couldn’t possibly look at the old board now, too tainted and sad. Lucky for me most of my accounts got banned I must have said some horrible shit 
Bone, Hollobone and Pursglove are the worst MPs in the country and they’re all in Northants.
Bone, Hollobone and Pursglove sounds very Dickensian, doesn’t it.

I think there was a weird naive thing about being young through the 2000s for me (as a white man) that we were winning the culture battle and sexism and racism were going away so it was ok to make stupid ironic edgy jokes. Crazy

informed by the stupid comedies on TV, stuff like south park and family guy and buzzcocks where people were just dicks to everyone all the time as if none of it really mattered.
how does Peter Bone keep getting elected?! Who is he serving?!
Maybe voter turnout in my area is just particularly poor
gross as shit, going hand in hand with being in bands and the sort of laddy banter and hedonism that was glorified.

it’s a difficult to find what you are comfortable with in your heart when you really feel like being on the right is fundamentally harmful to people. I mean, I don’t want people to be on the right, I don’t want people to feel that way about the world, it makes me sad and angry
