That is amusing.

Less so the revelation you’re now the kind of person who talks about things “trending on Twitter” :-(

At the risk of being a snitch, he used the phrase "achingly cool" the other day. I thought you had nicked his login.

I guess this is what happens when you count several biggish-name comedians and journalists among your Twitter followers, the flash c*nt.

Do you know you just prompted me to look at who my followers were and I honestly had no idea some of them followed me? How flattering.

You're still my favourite, though, m. ;-)

Simon Evans always ‘likes’ my tweets to him but I guess he’s just being polite :-(

I’d mainly be chuffed with Jarvis Dupont, if I were you.

Yes, I think he's very much into Twitter etiquette. I'm terrible at it. I'm afraid I'm usually far too busy trying to get my point across to show appreciation for others'. I'm sure my wife would probably nod knowingly at this. :-\

I had no idea Alison Pearson and Christopher Snowdon followed me until I looked just now, though. I've also just realised that there's a fairly well-known Irish journalist whom I suspect only follows me because she once had an affair with my dad. :hehe:

Has Jorge's head exploded on Twitter recently? I only ever go on there to see if someone has bitch slapped him again.

Not that that is in any way weird :-\

The other day he was insisting it’s not racist to accuse a black politician of being a “sell out” because they picked the “wrong” political party

Amazing how malleable you can be around what is and isn’t racist when you’re on the left.

The fact is that j was only ever tolerable because his batshít lefty craziness seemed like a bit of a joke and a relic of a bygone age. Now that there are people out there vying to run the country who make him look like a moderate, it's much less amusing, tbh.

Hmmm. Denying someone the freedom to choose their political affiliations because of the colour of their skin.

Sounds racist to me.

:nod: Lefties used to be a fairly strong presence on here, a. You're nearly the last man standing now (well, there's ganpati, but I'm pretty sure his mechanism's gone) - and even you're a Brexiteer (and thus anathema to the likes of j and Headgear). How does it feel to be hanging out with all us horrid fascists?

To be fair to Headgear, he was usually the subject of much of the viciousness. But in fairness to the rest of us, that viciousness was often richly deserved.

That's probably because there are so few left that any big tear-ups and exits would risk finishing the place off. I self-censor a lot on some issues, to avoid getting dog-piled.

By a lot of issues, you mainly mean stuff to do with Russia, don't you, a?

Pretty similar to when I hang out with those who consider themselves leftists, tbh. I don't really fit anywhere.

Membership of the Conservative Party costs £2 a month. That’s all it took to have the ‘power’ to put Boris in Downing Street. It’s not exactly membership of the MCC.

And I’ve never been a member of a golf club.

It’s also terrible analysis. Every poll makes it clear that Boris cuts through across a broader demographic than any other candidate. Far broader than Corbyn.

Sweeping, repetitive generalisations are the stock in trade for anyone with - and keen to build
upon - a sizeable social media following (as Jorge has). It guarantees retweets which in turn guarantees new followers.

When people on my side do it I lap it up and I’m sure Jorge’s followers feel the same.

You don’t deny being a Home Counties racist then? Tbf being a golf club member is more embarrassing
