Hunt The Economist 🕷

@MarinaPurkiss @LewDowns22 The footballification of politics, as James O B would say. No matter what their “team” does, they will cheer them from the rafters, even for things that they would scream at the other “side” for getting away with.

I find it deeply odd…. That some of you (mostly men) Need a leader to follow To practically worship Some dude you will defend with blind loyalty when you know they cross a line That isn’t a sign of strength …but of innate insecurity & weakness But hey, you do you.

@ACarlaSimpson @iamAtheistGirl @Wbtesq @JoHoad1 Atheism is a pretty specific lack of belief (in a god). Present to me a concept of a god, and I will tell you whether or not I believe in it.

@iamAtheistGirl @Wbtesq @JoHoad1 BTW, it is impossible to lack belief. Everyone believes in something.

and you certainly shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions for anyone else

@iamAtheistGirl It’s the social media equivalent of sneaking outside the town’s safety perimeter after nightfall 😆

@HuntStunning lol yay!

@iamAtheistGirl right, post something completely innocuous about how being an atheist is a sensible position to take, and I’ll wait here with my virtual baseball bat for some evangelicals to take the bait. 😆

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC can you please ask Kwasi Kwarteng if he has ever had a sexual relationship with Liz Truss?

@lbc “it didn’t do me any harm” say the people phoning a national radio show to endorse hitting kids… 🤦‍♂️

@lbc it’s “racists phone in with stupid anti-immigrant ideas” hour on LBC.

@lbc this guy is talking out of his arse

@lbc @NickFerrariLBC you are being so soft on the farmers. There is footage of them blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on, and you aren’t screaming at them and telling them they belong in jail. You give them a free pass, while JSO protestors are in prison for 5 years!

@IainDale Atkins is ignoring summer recess etc. “it took 4 months” Parliament wasn’t sitting for half of that time.

@lbc I don’t give a shit about palliative care. It could be the best in the world, and I would still want to have control over how I did. This guest can f**k off.

@lbc @NIAbbot Nick, you’re wrong. In Idiocracy, the president appoints the smartest man in the world to fix their problems. It’s therefore EVEN MORE STUPID than idiocracy! Yowsers!

@lbc Ben, it’s really lazy to prevent scrutiny of Labour donors by dismissing any challenge as antisemitism, and playing into antisemitic tropes. All you did was shut down the conversation. You didn’t defend it in any way, you simply dismissed it.

@lbc the Tories milked the “mess Labour left” for 14 years, and it never got challenged by the media. Now pundits on your show have the audacity to say that Labour have to stop blaming the Tories after 3 months?! Are they mad? What double standards they display.

@lbc Ian Dale finally doing a phone in about big farmer 😆

@lbc it’s incredible how you treat them differently to Just Stop Oil. You’re such a massive hypocrite. Why weren’t you asking him about fictional ambulances and accusing them of causing deaths? Why weren’t you telling him he deserves jail time for any disruption he causes?

@lbc these callers seem to forget how Trump started pulling everyone out of Afghanistan before he left. It created a disaster.

@lbc It’s almost like it’s a EUROPEAN thing. What an idiot “why aren’t Australia and America part of it? Is he that geographically imbecilic?

@lbc @mrjamesob please please please remind Nick Ferrari tomorrow of the imaginary ambulances that won’t be able to get through, and how angry he should be with people blocking roads in London. If he’s consistent he’ll demand they get the same sentences as JSO.

This is dangerous. You are undermining the police. And to invite a phone in about it is highly risky and could prejudice the case. You could literally just tell your listeners that lots of cases take longer than this, and that it’s a complex case. Instead you whip up hatred.

@lbc the difference between the case you are talking about and the rioters, is that rioters who got sent down are those that pleaded guilty. There are multiple layers to the Manchester case, which means it will take longer. Stop parroting the “two tier policing” line. @Ofcom
