    They really have looked at a few people on Twitter thinking it was kinda funny/cool to see her carrying a sword around and interpreted that as an actual organising principle. Stupid, stupid, stupid. This is what happens when you have no material political analysis and just surf around on vibes.

      Remember Ed Miliband? He was a terrible politician because someone took a photo of him at the precise second his face looked funny while eating a sandwich.

      But yeah, Mordants the next leader because she dressed nice and carried a sword once… FFS.

        That feels like a real sliding doors moment in modern UK life - because of that sandwich we got Brexit and years of Tory misrule.

          Though it’s all a bit jokey, I also kind of believe that’s to some degree true.

          It’s the new generation’s “If you discover time travel, go back and kill Hitler”.

            I have said before that I’d go back and slap the buttie out of his hands. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first thing I’d do after inventing time travel but it’s in the top ten.

              Next day news. Labour supporters invent time travel. To abuse Jewish eating bacon.

              You just can’t trust the motives of the left wing elite.

      “Strange women lying in [Parliament] distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.”

      Even today, there’s a meaningful chunk of people who are going to show up and vote for this clown show despite the past decade and a half

      What level of reasoning did you think they were capable of?
