More money goes from the US to Iraq and Afghanistan than Israel, of course.

funding autocratic governments supportive of US policy across the Middle East is nothing if not consistent.  Bought compliance.

Some bad anti-semantics on here.

The thing is, Afghanistan receives more military aid than Israel, yet making a joke about military aid to Afghanistan wouldn't have entered the correspondent's head. You can draw your own conclusions about why that may be. I certainly have.

Something to do with the timing of the bill that was passed giving 500 million to Israel at the same time as not enough to Americans for covid.... like he clearly states in his article. But yep you will clearly take what you want from it, blind again to the actual truth.

He isn't really helping his cause if he does want to write future columns for them.

He’s the guy who was saying cancel culture was made up by right wingers. This is why it’s bad. They’ll come for you all eventually.

You can’t say it’s ok for the Mandorian bird and bad for the Guardian bloke.

Mulholland didn't respond to a request for a comment. 

 

Funny how gobshites like that disappear when they've been caught out. The Tories do it all the time.

I agree with his original tweet. Katie Hopkins and that laurence cunt have made a fortune off being controversial so they can crow about censorship. Back to the "be controversial and you'll keep the money coming in" train. 

 

He does appear to be a bad tit like.

I read that tweet in the style of a slightly more educated Vicki Pollard.

[SasaS]

So Guardian and Daily Mail are no longer the most popular newspaper websites in the world?

BTW, what is this "new political era" they speak of?

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Yknow the proliferation of nuclear weapons treaty that Russia and America have? Yknow how Israel has a cutting edge nuclear programme? 

Well, join the dots. 

 

"Stash this for us.  If Russia asks, say it's yours". 

"What's in it for us?"

"Well..."

Slippery slope arguments are always bullshit  (notwithstanding beans on Weetabix).

There’s a tweet, above, by this guy saying cancel culture is a right wing myth.  This guy then complains he has been cancelled. Tell him it’s bullshit.

When he makes the slippery slope argument, then I'll tell him it's bullshit.  Until then, I'll tell you it's a bullshit argument.

Reminded me of this a few weeks back: 

 

 

What a fucking mess they've become.

Nathan Robinson (pp1-3 of this thread) has sacked most of his staff for trying to form a workers' cooperative.

I despise the Guardian. It's a dreadful newspaper. It might just be a tiny little bit less appalling than the S*n but only by a midgies.

 

It's equally true to say there's not a newspaper I'd prefer. I hate them all equally. The Guardian comes in for extra hostility because it should do better and doesn't.

 

I'm not sure whether it is more repellent than the BBC. Could go either way that one. 

 

My current affairs reading comes from the internet. If I absolutely had to buy a newspaper, I'd have the Morning Star and complain slightly less.

I'm torn here. I enjoyed "The Idiot Brain" so I want to side with Dean Burnett, but he used the phrase "2 year anniversary" so he can fuck off.

Stu Monty talking about the Gaurdian, that's what you call vintage GF. Throw in a couple of Polaroids of Remmie with his balls out and you're in forum top trumps territory.

When I saw who started this thread I thought the title was 'I ate the Guardian.'

It’s a shame you can’t neg newspapers, because their weird obsession with the Garrick club is doing my head in.

After the shit they threw at Corbyn, one of my small pleasures is watching the amount of articles that I have read without giving them a penny totting up, and the growing annoyance in the tone of their exhortations for me to contribute.
