Urban v's the Commentariat

So the New Statesman now publishes two flatmates blethering about what's on telly? Bet the subscribers are rushing to renew. Still, keeps them off serious subjects.

The smug faces of the enemy

Jesus Fucking Christ :facepalm:
 
If only they'd accept their natural constituency isn't rioters and the underclass- but the sort of twat that would spend £70 on a bit of cloth

I saw an H&M advert for a cape the other day and wondered who would buy something like that, I have just suddenly realised who - NS readers
 
Lezard looks like a "pick-up artist" - the sort of man who does ham-fisted coin tricks and carries rohypnol in his wallet.
 
My favourite part of the article is the advert at the top

They also regularly run ads for Lock & Co, Hatters. Their hats (as opposed to caps) start at about a ton and a half for off the peg. Way too expensive for a Fedora-fancier like me.

i made a *bat-cape* when i was 13 in needlework at school. to the horror of my domestic science teacher. it was tartan too. god knows what i was thinking. but yeh i guess im the sort of person who'd wear a cape. at age 13 anyway
 
a cape is just a poor mans cloak. We should bring back cloaks.

i had a woolen poncho for a week, when i was a teenage crusty. it was a bad look even by my long history of bad looks. it is almost impossible to eat or drink whilst wearing a woolen poncho, without spilling food down your front. combine this with living in a squatted dairy in midwinter and the crust really builds up.
 
I’ve just taken a call from a shadow cabinet adviser who asked me whether I’d seen the Daily Politics, with Owen Jones and Labour MP Simon Danczuk crossing swords over welfare. I said I had. (Owen got a proper shoeing from the Honourable Member for Rochdale, by the way.)


“Well, Simon’s going to find he’s in trouble for that. Ed’s office have told people we’re not allowed to criticise Owen Jones,” they said. So I checked with another shadow cabinet source, and it’s true. Apparently, Owen Jones is the Labour Party equivalent of a “Made Man”.


For those not aware, a “Made Man” is a form of honorary status bestowed on members of the Mafia, which means they cannot be harmed in any way unless official sanction has been granted from on high. And amazingly, similar status has been granted to the Justin Bieber of the Left.


“We’ve been told Ed wants to be seen leading a broad coalition,” says the second source. “We’ve all been instructed we can’t debate Owen Jones, and we can’t criticise him. We’ve been warned attacking him would be the equivalent of friendly fire.” [etc]

It's a little bit #everydaysexism so it is. How come the Lez gets to be the doctor? All that genderqueering malarkey doesn't amount to much when it comes down to it does it?

I was thinking that myself. What happened to women 'writing their own narratives' and not being sidekicks in men's ones? Say it aint so Laurie!
 
". I can be lonely in the middle of a crowded dance floor with a bass line shuddering my bare skin."
Bwahahaha , ah she got us!she had us all goin' for a few years there.... We've all just being punk'd by Laurie.... It was all a wind up...see!
 
"I have been lonely all my life; I was born that way. Everybody told me it would stop when I grew up and made friends, but everybody was wrong. I can be lonely in the middle of a crowded dance floor with a bass line shuddering my bare skin."

Hyperbole Alert.

"I have been lonely all my life; I was born that way. Everybody told me it would stop when I grew up and made friends, but everybody was wrong. I can be lonely in the middle of a crowded dance floor with a bass line shuddering my bare skin."

to be fair to her, i could have written that in my 20s. only the article would have been called "Why I Took Drugs".
