@HHistorian50532 Kanye himself here specifically says that Damon gave him his deal, not Jay.

Jay voted against Kanye signing to a record deal. Dame and Biggs voted to put him out and Dame let Kanye spit a verse on his album. Jay put Kanye on Blueprint 2 following the reception of his performance on the Dream Team album. You can block me, but you can’t rewrite history. Keep living in your own protected bubble.

@untouchableyo20 @HHistorian50532 Kanye literally ends his first album telling the exact story that Hov didn’t want to sign him and he only did because of his persistence and Dame’s support.

@HHistorian50532 They all voted yes the way roc a fella operated all three had to agree to the contract no just dame

@PaczkiMoneyWeed @CardinalMason Think it’s a distro deal. Not signed to anyone. UMG will still have heavy financial interest in Kanye including publishing. Was more making the general point that it could be that as Drake turns his back on industry titans they’re willing to let Kanye back in as a middle finger.

@benitopacketo @CardinalMason Kanye is signed to Gamma, which I believe is outside UMG’s sphere of influence.

@SandyofSuffolk @Kennvertn878 Okay but there’s like a three year backlog for driving tests so how should I do that Sandy?

@Kennvertn878 It's 30 minutes on the train to the city of Norwich. When l lived in mid Cornwall, I drove 90 minutes to work in south Devon. But I wasn't a lazy entitled bastard.

You can buy a nice little house like this in Suffolk with a 5% deposit of £6,000. Nationwide, Barclays and others are offering good deals for first time buyers with only a 5% deposit. But then you'd have to forego your gap year in the Far East and Antipodes or your fancy wedding. Poor you. Boo hoo. 🤣

@ursine_meeting @anglofuturist A good attack line if an opponent for the Greens ever needed is it that Zach Polanski wants to make Muslim girls ride bikes. See how that one plays out in Bradford.

I honestly think the Greens' appeal to the Muslims will collapse as soon as the "driving tests every 5 years" policy becomes well known. The cuzzy bros love their motors. The independents will mop up. Their vote is concentrated enough to not need white voters most of the time.

@BrixtonHatter Of course you can generalise. The people that live locally are generally very middle class. Most DH fans are. Why is it a certain type of South Londoner within the Herne Hill - East Dulwich - Forest Hill triangle gets so offended to be called middle class?

@benitopacketo Everyone involved in running the club lives locally. Most of the fans are local, old and new. You can’t generalise about the fans, there are many different groups.

Personally I think it is a bit bizarre and in fact precisely replicative of the phenomena being described to engage in this kind of fetishistic analysis of "the working class".

@trevgoes4th @RupertLowe10 This might be a man with his finger on the pulse of the nation. Interest rate relief on student loans, you say? 👀 Need to give it time with him though. Saw how Reform went. Though we always knew Nigel was a chancer, just a case of would he let himself be a useful vehicle - no

@RupertLowe10 @benitopacketo timing

Owning a home is FAR more difficult for young men and women today than it was for my generation. That’s just a fact. Average earnings have not kept pace with average house prices - to suggest otherwise is ignorant. The gap has grown at an astronomical rate. The young have every right to feel pissed off, I’m angry for them. And I detest this patronising attitude of people my age that we just happened to manage it all so much better through ‘common sense’ and fewer avocados. There are millions of young Brits who work hard, take care of their money and dedicate themselves - and yes, they are struggling to find a proper home. They have done nothing wrong. In fact, they’ve done everything right but the system still failed them. I am ensuring that there is a political party to finally represent them - Restore Britain is that party. A party that supports the aspirational and committed young British men and women. Scrapping interest on student loans. Stripping back the power of empire-building planning bureaucrats who cruelly prevent sensible house-building in fair locations. Crushing the overbearing regulations that make building anything so very cumbersome. Overhauling leasehold rules which trap owners with mutating service charges. Ending the vindictive war on landlords to make sustainably renting a proper option. Slashing tax to hand back financial control. Entirely abolishing stamp duty for Brits. Because we will not tinker with the status quo, we will not conserve it, we will not reform it. We will fundamentally change how this country operates. The model must break. I will make you one promise. Restore Britain will break it.

@portraitinflesh It wasn’t bad at all, and the closing ceremony was really enjoyable as a showcase of modern British pop culture but in hindsight I can understand the criticism that it focussed to heavily on a very small window of British history to somewhat massage a political narrative.

The 2012 opening ceremony isn't above reproach, but "historyless" is a very odd criticism. It focused heavily on the Industrial Revolution, for instance, which was arguably Britain's most important contribution to humanity. I'm pretty certain Shakespeare got a shout-out, as well.

@alexanderrX_ You won’t ever go bankrupt from the hospital visit, but you may also never return home.

@HearnsOfficial @RupertMyers @McDonalds I’m a sad little goblin because I think my server should acknowledged my existence? Is everything okay?

@benitopacketo @RupertMyers @McDonalds why don't you ask chatgpt to serve up your meal you sad little goblin

Absolutely genius full-page @McDonalds advert in the Telegraph today. #KYA

@charliecolecc Acts like she’s doing us a favour by being here. Why should be ever be entitled to benefits? You moved here because you knew this country would provide you a better deal - that’s more than enough to justify your taxes. If not, emotionally blackmail your own government to pay you.

"Am I a foreigner?" (some back and forth) "I'm not a British citizen" Very funny segment.

@berylperrol @echetus @trevgoes4th This happened outside of term time? Even worse! How do you congregate a gaggle of school children in this manner during half-term.

@benitopacketo @echetus @trevgoes4th The schools are shut for 2 weeks.

Decided to check, and there are 10 youth clubs within two miles of the M&S. We must wonder what density of youth clubs is required to prevent mass robberies.

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 @Nick_Kay He sounds like a smart guy. I vary between both, but after a certain point retardation becomes malice if you don’t step aside. Ask Ruben Amorim, he’s probably your neighbour.

@benitopacketo @MontyCristo11 Ask @Nick_Kay He thinks like you, pure malice I assign a varying % to pure retardation

Most Boomers paid in a massive surplus

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 Speak for yourself please

@benitopacketo @MontyCristo11 My days of degeneracy are well behind me

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 Reckon they’d be great on a night out tho

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 That’s not even scratching the surface

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 Praying the gates are still open soon for me.

@benitopacketo @MontyCristo11 Came from nothing, worked very hard, paid way too many taxes, then GTFO All on plan

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 Not to be tin-foil, but the entire purpose of the post Bretton order is to concentrate wealth through persistent inflation, so not sure we can get past this. Elections just let us decide the speed of it. Although, if now isn’t the end of post-post BW, I don’t know what is.

@benitopacketo @MontyCristo11 If we stopped the state running inflationary policies, all this would be irrelevant Needs a written constitution

@trevgoes4th @MontyCristo11 It’s a nice life for some, eh? 🤣

@benitopacketo @MontyCristo11 Lol My kids have a great life I get the sun and to play golf
