Someone who is right about George Galloway.

Starmer being in agreement with Sunak and Davey on so much as well though.
All shouting loudly recently that a prospective MP should not hold views other than full throated uncritical support for Ukraine.

used to be head of public affairs for first group in I think rail

I can't work out who should be more insulted Fatage or Galloway.

Hopefully both will remain seatless and left to Mr Sheen one another's bruised egos on some obscure podcast or shouty talk radio station after 4 July.
Another defeat for Farage and he really will be the Dover Athletic of British politics: 8 defeats in a row and no win in sight. LLLLLLLL

Had a brief moment considering voting WPB but their whole "gay isn't normal" bullshit and sucking up to the Muslim rent-a-mob is too far for me, too socially conservative. Plus there's Chris Williamson who gives me the ick with his betrayal of the Syrian Revolution. So nah.

Blimey, looks like it is, well-remembered. Mentioned on another thread but they've got Tosh McDonald running for them as well, probably the first time I've seen a Workers' Party candidate with some kind of workers' movement background.
I'd take that over full-throated uncritical support for Putin.

yes but when did the fedora cease to be a cool if a bit anachronistic piece of headwear into being the mark of the cunt, 4channer, milady etc.

Yep, this. The Galloway army is a rag tag of social conservative and weirdos, along with no doubt some decent people desperate to find a home that isn't Starmer-Sunakist. But increasingly, social conservative. The Venn diagram with Reflux also firms up.
IIRC there was a pick up artist with a bit of an online following in the late 00s or early 10s or something who explicitly recommended wearing a fedora to give yourself an air of mystery or something, which led to a period of a lot of weird guys wearing fedoras bothering women.
I might have details wrong and I can't remember the guys name but I think it was something like that

Anything that might be perceived as “cool if a bit anachronistic” turns out to mark cunts, from penny farthings and watch chains to 8-bit arcade machines and extremist politics.

I have always wondered about those people who get featured sometimes in the media who live a Victorian / 1940s / 1970s themed life, with appropriate clothing, furniture etc, whether that extends to their politics too

of course in modern steampunk everyones the cunt with a topper adorned with cogs. Only in the Bas Lag stories would you find the other part of steampunk victorian imagination, kids with legs replaced by pistons in the factories and all that one.

And after the WPB gets nowhere in the election, Galloway can even quote Big Mal with his famous "A lot of hard work went into this defeat" quote

No pasaran!
The same dictum could easily apply to Katz, frankly.

I was about to say, I can't imagine Galloway quoting the iconic fedora-wearing Big Mal any time soon:And after the WPB gets nowhere in the election, Galloway can even quote Big Mal with his famous "A lot of hard work went into this defeat" quote
Or is that a trilby?

Trilby, a hat that was once fairly standard in Italy. Fedoras have a wider brim.I was about to say, I can't imagine Galloway quoting the iconic fedora-wearing Big Mal any time soon:

And yes, Errico is the real Big Mal, not some cigar smoking Citeh manager of yesteryear.

I bet they’ll be shit fireworks, like one of those Roman candles you could get from the newsagents with your pocket money. Or those ‘indoor fireworks’ that were proper dismal compared to real ones.
