What happened to Videogamer is a travesty.

Seeing how things have panned out following its sale is appalling.

That’s all I will say on the matter.

It says so much about Brexit Britain that leader of the Greens, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, has to say: "I think we need to make racism unacceptable again"

Yeah, 74… no age. Far too young tbh. But he’d had his health issues for a while. Hopefully he’s in a better place now.

I’ll crack the song on again on my Christmas Eve drive to see the family.

With the sad news of his death about to be reported everywhere, I feel it’s only right to put this on in his memory.

I’d rather my child (I have just the one) watch that than YouTube to be honest.

Just looked. He’s a fat xenophobic and transphobic (all the phobics) shitbag.

Also, I can afford an EV and it won’t be one fronted by this manic monstrosity parading as a human.

Silly twat… the end.

It was a cohesive and in-depth discussion on upcoming hardware that was balanced, personable, insightful and without hype.

I (and clearly others) really enjoyed the video, and in a world of continual malaise (be it towards Windows/Microsoft or anything else), it framed a new β€˜in’ to PC gaming.

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments β€œPeople say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. β€œI think it would be great.”

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

Holly is cool, you should hire Holly to make your game world feel properly placed within its own history.

But I just removed this from my wishlist, do I need to alter this decision and go back to what was now? Such confusion.

It would be splendid if that was indeed the case, sadly not and the gig economy is the best means of supplicating one’s lifestyle currently.

A smidge of stability would be immense. Yet that is something that seems to evade so many right now. Also, you’re great and there will be a way through this.

Yeah… cunt levels rising. The sooner he isn’t a President of a nation that he does not represent in any meaningful way the better.

Said as a half American.

Also, he’s a cunt. The end.

Reform's racism is dividing our communities.

The Green Party stand against the politics of hate and fear.

It's time to bring a politics of hope, compassion and unity.

STEP 1
Be born with something just…missing

Kudos to ⁦β€ͺ@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes πŸ”₯
