Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 20, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 20, 2024 So you've committed a massive miscarriage of justice against a significant number of your former employees and covered it up. Now there is a massive inquiry into how you did it. Is now the right time to breach the confidentiality of over 500 of them and publish their full names and addresses. If you are the Post Office it is. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd110nl7dppo Jesus fucking christ barely covers it. Quote

You'd perhaps say "well that was a fuckup weren't it" but if not for how much they've screwed the postmasters over you can't help but view this as a planned leak. The whole Horizon thing is just shocking, still boggles my mind that no-one ever really seemed to go "wow awful large number of these postmasters on the take" and question whether that made any actual sense.

Someone at the Post Office has thought to themselves "These fuckers want their money back plus some of ours do they. Let's dox them" Quote

Paid Members JLM Posted June 27, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 27, 2024 American reactionary conservative "comedy". Buzzwords, talking points, strawmen and no jokes at all. See also: Mr. Birchum. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted June 27, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 27, 2024 Right wing comedy never works, just like you can't have left wing action films. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 27, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 27, 2024 Only right-wing comedian I ever thought had any halfway decent jokes specifically about the left was Bill Engvall, and that was at a push. Otherwise, it's just Monty Python and the Judaean People's Front. I'm sure there's more. Think it was Stewart Lee who talked about this in an article - he was saying that the reason why there are so few decent right-wing comedians is because the West is broadly geared towards right-wing politics, whilst the left's standpoint is to rail against the status quo; hence the left is seen as "punching up", which is usually funny, whereas there are very few occasions where the right's "punching down" can be made to be funny.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 27, 2024 Moderators Posted June 27, 2024 I like that it has a laugh track to mask the lack of jokes. Quote

As usual I will be way off the UKFF point of view, but I find Geoff Norcott & Simon Evans pretty funny. Would it be fair to say that jokes coming from the view point of right wing economics could be OK, whereas jokes from a right wing social view invariably aren't? Quote
Mr_Danger Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 Geoff Norcott is shit but he’s ’right wing’ in the sense that Labour are ‘left wing’. It’s just centrist view points with a self proclaimed right wing tag. There’s idiots with ludicrous view points on both sides of the fence. Funny should be funny because of funny. Once the starting point is “This is funny because it’s aimed at people with political/idealogical allegiances to…” then you’re playing to a select audience. Quote
Paid Members waters44 Posted June 28, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 28, 2024 One on behalf of my wife - I’ve got a big family that covers the entire spectrum. I’ve got family members living in mansions and some barely surviving in council flats. Including step siblings I alone have five brothers and three sisters. We’re always falling out, making up, getting illnesses, dying, getting married, having babies. There is always drama somewhere, whether that’s good or bad. My wife on the other hand has her Mum, Uncle and Gran, and they live in a very quiet village pretty much on the same street. So to say she struggles with the ups and downs of my family is an understatement. To keep her going she goes to a spa in Wokingham, about an hour away, a couple of days a year to de-stress and leave all the drama at home. She went yesterday, got in one of the spa jacuzzi things, looked over and sat next to her were two of my sisters Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted June 30, 2024 Members Posted June 30, 2024 Similarly to this I was in Basingstoke last Monday for work and saw a cousin walking through the shopping centre (I have about a dozen family members who live there) so I ducked into the nearest shop. Smiggle. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted June 30, 2024 Members Posted June 30, 2024 Double post don't care, just dropped the entire towel in the bath, and the other 3 are in the wash I put on before the bath. Have a great Sunday everyone. Quote
