Haha!

'Alba is now at the two bald men fighting over a comb stage of absurdity' The hardline nationalist party set up by Alex Salmond is in a state of utter collapse. Neil Mackay surveys the chaos, with his tongue planted firmly…

The Alba Party has now reached the ‘two bald men fighting over a comb’ stage of absurdity

Alex Salmond’s vanity project and revenge vehicle has driven itself into a ditch. It’s collapsing in a storm of demented factionalism. To be honest, it is a joy to watch

Sad, but painfully true. Many SNP branches were glad some left to join Alba. Some were transphobes, others vaguely ultra-nationalist, others moaned loadly about everything. Critical voices are essential, not least because of the problem of being an insurgent movement in partial government.

'The irony is that this mob has done nothing but damage independence from the get-go. They brought a fevered and conspiratorial culture warrior vibe to the Yes movement which nobody liked or wanted.'

Snap. I adore the old 1930s Universal horror movies and the Hammer horror films from the 50s and 60s. I was thankfully raised as a feral atheist

We did have The Ghosts of Motley Hall and Rent-A-Ghost instead which were fecken fantastic

We didn’t get Dark Shadows over here ☹️

That takes me back to Saturday morning tv when I was about seven!

Too generous

Fucking oaf

Oooh that’s gnarly

Not seen it yet. Should I?

Amen!

If Iceland is joining, could Britain take the only sane course of action AND FUCKING REJOIN THE EUROPEAN UNION!!!

(Sorry for the Orange Wanker style caps)

This is not only incredibly weak, its false equivalence between Farage and Polanski is dangerous. One of them is a threat to liberal democracy, the other one is not. The text is a prime example of how radical centrism and the profound arrogance of self-declared liberals legitimize the far right

When this prick falls, he's gonna fall hard. And it is going to be fucking great to behold

Right-wingers in England are to America, what Belarus is to Russia.

BP’s new boss will take home at least £11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor Meg O’Neill will be first woman to serve as CEO of 117-year-oil firm when joining from Woodside Energy in April

Why do we tolerate this?

Farage, the despicable little toe-rag, off to shit-talk his own country to his American Daddy. Reform hates Britain

The sound of childhood - along with a Clanger whistling

She’s like Mr Ben*

Shield of the Americas? WTF

They are psychopath toddlers cosplaying as adults
