Menshn - Louise Mensch launches a 'rival to twitter'

[DaveCinzano]

Is there a Def Leppard song that is not shit?

They're mostly armless

No.

 

[teqniq]

No.

I meant no offence I just don't much like their music really. I like the funk.

 

[03gills]

To be fair, I can see myself spending a lot of time on a site that's a bit like Twitter but organises conversations into groups - call them threads, perhaps - that you can choose to follow and contribute to.

 

[DotCommunist]

can we bash mensh and not deff leppard? I like deff leppard

 

[Idris2002]

I thought it was that Def not Deff - but yeah, they're one for the "fine for what they are/were" file.

 

[Ungrateful]

I wonder what the 'no safe spaces' USB for Heat Street refers to? I take it means racism, homophobia and anti-working class prejudice will be fine. But people calling Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the corrupt plutocracy a bunch of swindling swine will be censored quicker than a picture of an Israeli topless model in a Tehran daily paper.

I really hope this type of meme posting crap is not becoming a regular feature during discussions here ( unless it's the Banwidthz thread)

'No safe spaces (for anybody Murdoch and Co take a dislike to).'

Is there room for Louise Mensch given that America already has Anne Coulter and the UK has Katie Hopkins? Isn't the job of blond spokesperson for ill-informed, intemperate callousness already taken?

Might be interesting to see a battle of the sociopaths in which they each have to out vitriol the others. The winner gets their own talk show on Fox and newspaper column in The Mail, the losers have to suffer whatever they wished on those without their advantages (drowning at sea, nuclear bomb-strike on their place of worship, starvation under a bridge). I wonder if I can pitch this idea to Channel 5. I'm sure these fame-hungry loons would be game as it would mean exposure, and none of them would expect to lose.

Have a heart, you will be leaving a coke dealer in impoverished circumstances.

Mensch's husband managed Def Leppard FWIW.

 

[Sprocket.]

Mensch's husband managed Def Leppard FWIW.

Plus the company he's a partner in besides Jeff leotard, manages/ed Red hot chilli peppers, Jimmy page and Metallica. And he married a right wing pudding.

Oh:



I wish i had thought of the internet.

"Louise Mensch launches a rival to the internet"

"Louise Mensch launches a rival to the internet"

DON'T MENSHN THE WEB

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

DON'T MENSHN THE WEB

Web? I think you'll find it's called the Global Informenshn Super-Highway.

 

[J Ed]

So much going on in this clip.

 

[teqniq]

Merely the fact that it says 'The Intelligence Report' in the background is enough.

 

[Shechemite]

Did they find any or are they still examining her?

 

[J Ed]

Her accent is so weird. It's not like the midatlantic one that Tony Blair fell into by accident, it's as if she's actively cultivating it.

 

[Chilli.s]

Why anyone would value her opinion is beyond my comprehension. Her views depend on what is in it for her at the time. She didn't even have the commitment to those who voted for her to see her time in parliament through. And that faux American accent, rarely has lol been more appropriate.

I think some Americans are under the misapprehension that a Brit accent confers intelligence, that is probably why she is on there she certainly doesn't self-promote as a former member of parliament, which makes the former tormentor of Corby's accent change even sillier.

 

[DotCommunist]

a Brit accent confers intelligence

the right sort of one anyway

 

[The Pale King]

Yeah, I thought it was quite performative, very deliberately trying to get that declamatory, slightly indignant (as though one is hectoring an unseen interlocutor) tone that (female) Fox News contributors cultivate as well as the weird accent. She is clearly desparate for a U.S t.v slot telling the powerful what they want to hear. Trouble is, I would've thought they'd want something different from an English contributor - if they want that stuff they probably have a Mary-Jo from Idaho to hand.

 

[skyscraper101]

Any British person over 30, let alone someone in their mid-40s who starts speaking in an American accent just from living in New York for a couple of years is a dickhead.

 

[Corax]

She sounds like a Canadian trying to do an Irish accent. Badly.

 

[Cid]

Weird... HIGNFY from only 5 years ago for comparison.
