Dan Hodges Watch

[nino_savatte]

Not only is Hodges a bitter bastard, he's also a bloodthirsty cunt.

And Hodges knows exactly the point Corbyn was making about the use of due process as a box-clever strategy to deal with terrorists. He wouldn't take a Tory lawyer to task for making the same point.

Most people on this board welcome the death. Don't you?

"Most people"? You can't make that claim without having some figures to support your contention.

I'd have preferred it if he'd have been put on trial and, interestingly enough, the families of his victims share that view. What does that make you?

My personal feelings on the matter don't count for shit. Discussion of the best long-term strategy to end this carnage is more useful. And that involves hard-headed realpolitik that armchair Rambo knuckleheads find offensive.

Not only is Hodges a bitter bastard, he's also a bloodthirsty cunt.

He has been busy mining the "why aren't we* bombing IS in Syria" / "We* could take them out in twelve months" memes all evening tonight.

* "we" meaning not him of course, unless al-Baghdadi wants to stake his caliphate on a competitive 2000-word journalism competition about why Corbyn is basically Hitler

 

[gosub]

Well the current Labour position of not without a UN mandate is bollocks as well, which permanent Un security council member is he expecting to back down over Assad?

Not that we have much to bring to the party.
Expect the Charles de Galle in that end of the med before the weekend

As if he's some kind of military strategist. I bet he doesn't even play chess.

Huh? Have you actually seen the title of this thread?

Today's highlight:



In his defence, he was heard to make a beeping noise after being challenged on this and moving backwards.

So he'll be in the front line of his own proposed military solution? I might be coming round to the idea.

 

[butchersapron]

This, after leaving the party and then rejoining it a year later.

TBF he even fucked that up - he thought attempting to pay the 3 quid made him a member. It wouldn't have. And he was turned down anyway.

Nadhim Zahawi helpfully retweeted this shite..

 

[nino_savatte]

This morning I saw this exchange between Ellie Mae O'Hagan and Crazy Dan Hodges.





Rentoul was forced into making an apology. Hodges obviously missed that. He's gone too far.

Jesus H Christ! Tomorrow, the cunt will be demanding martial law and curfews.

He is probably saving that article for when the resistance takes out Corbyn, and he has to check under his bed every night for Momentumite assassins.

Hodges' dreck from yesterday. Here, he refers to Labour members who support Corbyn as "cultists" and offers up a false dichotomy between "the country" on the one hand and Labour "members" on the other.

Labour must choose between its members and the country
The Corbyn cultists are going on a magical mystery tour which can only end one way. MPs need to wake up and defy this mindless cult

Here, Dan shows us how far he's shoved his head up his arse.

But Labour isn’t taking the fight to the Tories. The polls are clear. Labour is getting routed by the Tories. David Cameron is planning to axe tax credits, slash the number of police officers and preside over a downing of stethoscopes by the junior doctors. And yet his party is actually moving even further ahead of Labour.

He also seems to have missed the Ipsos Mori poll that put Labour 2 points behind the Tories.

He repeats the "cult" theme here.

Labour has become a religious sect. It’s members no longer think. They do not feel. They do not eat. They do not sleep. They simply shamble forward, emitting the same morose chant: “Jeremy … Jeremy … Jeremy”. Labour must choose between its members and the country

What Hodges wilfully ignores is his own slavish devotion to the cult of St. Tony. Irony?

There's no comments thread, btw.

Today, Hodges uses Osborne to have a pop at Corbyn.

First, we get this...

George Osborne is getting the politics right, again
The Chancellor could serve the public a cup of cold sick and still be more popular than Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party

Then there's this...

Later today George Osborne will destroy George Osborne’s political career. In the hours, days and weeks that follow this afternoon’s spending review, a political consensus will from. “George has blown it”, people will tell each other, knowing expressions playing across their faces.

The cuts – they will become known as “the savage cuts” – will have been too deep. The social conscience of the nation will have been stretched to breaking point. Police, social care, local government, further education, renewable energy, welfare. These are only some of the areas the Guardian has identified as preparing for the kiss of the axeman’s blade.

George Osborne is getting the politics right, again
You can't have it both ways, Dan.

Hodges defends Cameron's use of the phrase "terrorist sympathisers" to describe those who intend to vote 'no'.

British public political discourse is now actually worse than the US during the Bush years. Congratulations Tories of all colours, it took less than two terms of government to achieve a goal many thought impossible.

It is far worse than that; at least Bush's minions going around making luridly and massively objectionable suggestions (that John McCain had a mixed race daughter, for instance) had some evidence of a thought process behind them, given the state those claims were made in. This proposal has no sense about it at all, and yet Cameron, Farron, Benn and the rest seem to think merely voting for it makes them akin to Leonidas booting that Persian messenger into the pit in 300.

Go and see the U.S. / #tcot #trump016 lot's response to the climate change talks on Twitter etc -that side of Amurrikkas off its collective shitter
