Super-Twat

[Polar Bear]

Common sense and decency clearly aren't genetic traits.

Seems to me to be a spoilt little establishment rich kid who has had life handed to him on a plate ... 

Note:  Pun as well as sentiment intended.

Giles Coren. Fat shaming is bad. Fat shaming your son is unbelievable. And a bonus point for "there are uses for a fat woman."

I'd never heard of him until this. Unpleasant little oik, isn't he? Really surprising that the talented and amusing Victoria Coren Mitchel is his sister.

Giles and Victoria are the progeny of the late Alan, editor of 'Punch', a long-time resident of dentist waiting rooms.

He has called her fat too.

[Efrogwr]

He's always struck me as a bit of a demi-bosom.

That indelible human shit stain Farage again.

[Mr Larrington]

If this is some new piece of Farrago twattery, please elucidate.

Oh, his big porky about Hope Not Hate which he's now made a mealy libel-dodging apology over, still bleating that he stung them for a £100k in costs (which they reasonably point out he didn't on the grounds he was the one making the apology, he paid his own legal bills other than a few small items the barristers agree to split).

Every single word that oozes out of his mouth is a lie.

[rogerzilla]

John Redwood, the treacherous creep.

It's nice to see that my donation to HNH's legal fund was put to good use     Farage in the meantime had a bit of a rant in the EU parliament about George Soros having too much influence in the world, this is now being taken up enthusiastically by breitfart & similar organs.

[Polar Bear]

For such a staunch anti european the greedy mega twat keeps trousering our lolly.

Another frequent flyer: Jeremy Hunt.

Yes, yes, I know he has pride of place in the MegaTwat Hall of Fame, but he's just been slapped down epically on Twitter by Ralf Little.

Yup, what with Johnny Vegas chastising Maria Caulfield over her poppy fascism, and Maxine Peake working hard to combat austerity & discrimination, it seems Northern Comedic Actors are our only hope...

[Polar Bear]

And aren't they both, erm, from Lancashire?   

[clarion]

Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, respectively.

[Tim Hall]

Just read Vegas' tweet. He's gone up in my estimation.

Eddie Izzard for PM! 

[clarion]

Er, no.  Not even Eddie Izzard for Labour National Executive Committee.

Besides, he's not a Northerner.  Didn't he grow up in Bexhill?

Actually, he almost deserves to be in this thread, despite being a great campaigner, funny guy, and awesome runner.

Izzard failed to get on the NEC last year.  This time, he is part of a trio of 'independent' candidates aiming for the new ordinary members' seats. 

They are not independent.  They are all Progress-backed Blairites, trying to pull the wool over members' eyes.

Jon Lansman, on the other hand, is definitely a super-twat.

Must be about time our favourite Colossal Bell End got another mention...

<narrator voice> "And there was that time Piers (who is a Colossal Bell End) crossed Tweets with Erica Jong's daughter..."

Happy #InternationalMensDay - if we’re still allowed to say anything positive about men without being summarily executed.

So funny, you really are a comic genius @piersmorgan

Thanks Molly! Never knew I appealed to the soulless ginger feminist community.

I just watch you for your scintillating interviews, your discourse with international polymath and patriot Steven Seagal was the stuff that Walter Winchell dreamed of doing.

https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/status/932299868349091842

Pwned. 


In case anyone's wondering, the Walter Winchell comparison was more shade-throwing.

Walter Winchell (April 7, 1897 – February 20, 1972) was an American newspaper and radio gossip commentator.

Winchell showed a particular talent for digging up embarrassing stories about famous people by exploiting his exceptionally wide circle of contacts, and trading gossip, sometimes in return for his silence. His uniquely outspoken style made him both feared and admired, and his column was syndicated worldwide. In the 30’s, he attacked the appeasers of Nazism, and later aligned with McCarthy in his campaign against communists. He damaged the reputations of Charles Lindbergh and Josephine Baker, among other lesser individuals who had earned his enmity. But the McCarthy connection would soon make him deeply unfashionable, his talents did not adapt well for television, and his career ended in humiliation.

Philip "There are no unemployed people" Hammond

 

[clarion]

I'm still baffled by that.

[LEE]

I'm still baffled by that.

It's Orwellian.

There are no unemployed.

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”

[clarion]

No wonder he doesn't budget enough for benefits.

[mrcharly-YHT]

They aren't 'unemployed'; they are 'temporarily out of work' or 'in between gigs'.

You see, you just need to understand the words. Hammond was totally correct, completely clear. No unemployed people. Oh, and some of them aren't people.

[ian]

They're merely between jobs. Admittedly, it's easier to be between jobs with £9 million in the bank and a network of connections.

[citoyen]

I'm still baffled by that.

There are two elements to his wrongness. First, it was an appalling slip of the tongue that revealed his underlying nastiness and/or incompetence.

Second, even if you allow him what he meant rather than what he said, it's still appalling.

The claim is that technology isn't leaving people out of work because the government are creating new jobs to replace the ones that are being lost to robots.

This is entirely disingenuous and in fact a plain lie. All governments massage the unemployment stats but this current mob are the worst. They are despicable weasels.

[citoyen]

Also: Andrew Marr

In the same interview, when the subject of driverless vehicles came up, Marr tried to press Hammond on all sorts of spurious points, saying: "Jeremy Clarkson thinks they're incredibly dangerous."

If Hammond hadn't been so focused on sticking to the script, he would have jumped on that and shoved it back down Marr's throat. Very hard.
