Polite Brit trapped in the body of an overweight grumpy German. Awkward. My name is an anagram of “I talk trawlers”.

Amazing how deep Kemi is in the alt right online rabbit hole. All of this is just copy paste from US radical right wing (and by extension Russian) talking points. Hilariously she unflinchingly uses terms like “anchor babies”, “deep state” etc (albeit not in this post), that have little meaning here.

BSW — the national sociali… no, can’t do that, the socialist #Putin fanclub — failed with 4.972% of the votes to clear the 5% hurdle. So there is cosmic justice.

So the copium I want to take away from the German election is: - BSW inadvertently created an electable progressive party after removing all the swivel eyed pro Russia loons from Die Linke - JD Vance and Musk made it obvious to enough Germans what a strong AfD would mean, thus preventing the worst.

As always Böhmermann nails it! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

I can’t even muster a smug “told you so!” towards those who said that Trump’s unpredictability might actually be an asset and he might pull off an amazing peace deal… But srsly - what the fuck did you think would happen?? Other than this wholesale rollover/betrayal?

I’m so confused. So a democracy can prosecute a treasonous insurrectionist? I thought more treason = more immunity? So strange.

You can certainly arrive at different conclusions watching what Elon’s DOGE incels do. “A triumph of evil and Dunning/Kruger on steroids levels of incompetence” could be one of them. Yet the leader of one of the two main parties in the UK has come to a slightly different conclusion. Hey Ho.

What a time to be alive. When merely being a batshit crazy bible thumping bigot but stopping short of the world destroying crayons-up-the-nose vandalism of MAGA makes you a moral paragon. Cool, cool ,cool…

Cameron’s arrogant decision for and subsequent poor handling of the referendum followed by an increasingly cartoonish inept rogues gallery of successors has made this country strapped for cash at the worst moment in history. Bravo Tories, UKIP and Brexit cheerleaders in the media. You own this shit

As a German I’d like to say: Fuck - and I cannot stress this enough - the fuck off, you fucking disgusting Nazi enabler scum. (I have to say though that the eyeliner brings out your feminine side nicely, so there’s that)

Brilliant. By Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz. #tesla

Nails it. “a government of the radicalised online right, for the radicalised online right, by the radicalised online right”. They don’t care about actual freedom, the type Ukrainians are dying for. Their bag is composing tweets about largely imagined attacks on freedom of speech, for the likes

Space Karen’s toddler logic strikes again. It’s like saying: if you’re punching someone and they yell ‘stop it!’, that means you were right to punch them!”. 🥴

Civic duty for ze Fazerland (via postal ballot) ✅. Kein Fussbreit den Faschisten as the old saying goes.

“Housed on a […] mainframe”. Why didn’t they say that straight away? There’s exactly zero chance that Space Karen’s Zoomers know, let alone find their way around z/OS and the COBOL code these systems are surely based on. So we’re all safe until he recruits a retired COBOL coder. Phew…

Five years ago today it became legal for British shops to sell good old British bendy bananas again. Happy Bendy Bananas Day!

Severance. I just don’t think it’s very good… Well, it’s good in an artistic sense, clever and it’s got brilliant actors and all that, but my word - it’s so incredibly dreary and unenjoyable to watch. I guess that’s sort of the point (like a Lars von Trier film), but still…

As @mrjamesob.bsky.social keeps saying: “There is a good Brexit, but it goes to a different school!”… FFS, when will these goons own the mess that they heaped on all of us?

Ah, we know how this ends, right? Space Karen will make some ludicrous suggestions how to do this. Experts will patiently try to explain to him why that’s not working and ask him to just let them do their job, at which point he’ll call them all pedos.

I despair…

Starmer: “I’m not sure if our stubborn anti-EU stance is enough to repel a large enough number of voters…” Reeves: “I’ve got an idea!”

Elon Musk did a Nazi salute because he's on the side of the Nazis. It's no more or less complex than that. When people show you who they are, believe them inews.co.uk/opinion/look...

Evidently Labour’s core policy of “let’s not upset the Daily Mail for fear they might turn Gammons in the Midlands loose” is working really well!

NEWS! Elon Musk debuts new Charlie Chaplin moustache

NEWS! Mark Zuckerberg reveals new 'glow-up' at Donald Trump's inauguration

Oh. www.rawstory.com/trump-transg...

Ah, yes, that famous Roman salute. Makes sense as he also supports that Neo-Roman party in Germany and reinstated plenty of Roman accounts on Twitter.

And the only “zone of danger”, for US troops to be deployed to, he cares to call out by name is the border to <checks notes> their ally and biggest trading partner Mexico. Cool, cool, cool…

Sound the “Don’t threaten us with a good time” klaxon!

Thank God Starmer is prime minister. Imagine if we had someone in that position desperately doing whatever Musk wanted, as Badenoch evidently would. This moment would amount the complete subordination of Britain to a foreign tech billionaire.

Congratulations Larry the 🐈 cat

So, Space Karen is picking fights with old school MAGA because they’re too racist and with Farage because he’s not racist enough? There seems to be a very narrow Goldilocks zone of racism that’s just about right. Tricky.
