@Geri someone get Jake his meds

[bashstkid@mastodon.online]

@Geri Definitely in the “Don’t threaten me with a good time” category.

@Geri the Torygraph never disappoints

[jimmyb@mas.to]

@Geri that’s hilarious!

[catarinac@masto.pt]

@Geri the abyss of awesomeness

[black_flag@beige.party]

@Geri Yes its funny here but even as we speak the media moguls are despatching the teams of hitmen to find stories about anyone and anything "green". They will now be Corbyned into unvoteability as a threat to the status quo. Probably using exactly the same tactics.

@Geri Do the Telegraph have problems counting beyond two? … One… Tories… two… Red Tories… th.. th.. oh no the world must me ending!? 🤪

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@Black_Flag

Agreed. The continuation of the neoliberal project depends on fascists replacing insipid centrists, and what happens on one country can happen in others.

@JimmyB they are scrabbling around for something to say!

"Some of these people are vegetarians!!!"

[broadfork@mastodon.green]

@Geri @JimmyB I’m a vegetarian AND I have a pitchfork.

Beware the Green Menace

@Geri

Brexit is THE ABYSS and we're already in it.

The telegraph supported brexit and the rightwing extremist farage.

@Black_Flag @Geri to be honest, I think Zack's approach to smear campaigns is pretty resilient. A lot of his instagram page is just him reposting attempted hit pieces on him while laughing at the ridiculousness of them. The win in G&D shows that works, people aren't taking the smears seriously

[geri@mastodon.online]

@cmsdengl oh, this is oodles of fun xxx

[apenkop@mstdn.social]

@Geri Is The Telegraph the Tories' mouthpiece?

[geri@mastodon.online]

@apenkop yes, my dear xx

[black_flag@beige.party]

@davetortoise @Geri

A by-election isn't a General Election and he hasn't remotely faced the shitstorm yet. It gets exponentially harder when the entire press will be working for your downfall and they have many times the budget that you do. And it tires you out. There are a lot of shitbags out there very experienced at undermining perceived political threats.

@ReggieHere It deploys rapidly, here in NL as well.
After the USA and UK in 1980, NL was the next beachhead for neolib politics and economy in 1982 aka fuck the people.
