Have I Got a Bit More News for You S67 E9. Victoria Coren Mitchell. 31 May 2024

[@Baiko]

I don't know why I'm always so immensly amused by Ian Hislop making a relevant pop culture reference joke

[@cliff8669]

You can never go wrong with Victoria Coren Mitchell. The East Berlin bit was brilliant.

[@Rugmunchersauce3]

Yeah, it certainly got me daydreaming about it for a while (not the Jeremy Corbyn part though, just Victoria and the rest).

It's wild how Yankees believe all the propaganda thrown at them. But I guess somebody has to think they're the good guys, when the only thing the global far right and left can agree on is that everybody hates Americans.

[@TheLastCrusader22]

Well it's not like they'll have to now either if it becomes reality since Rishi won't actually punish anyone who doesn't! That's how you motivate people to do something unpopular. Even here in Sweden, one of the world's most democratic countries, you can technically go to prison for refusing service.

@@eastvandb It isn't about him but about people who remember how shocking it felt. The last time that happened was in 1901 and McKinley didn't die right away. (Never use a patronage hack for your doctor, as Garfield found out before him.) My guess is joking about any murder isn't considered hilarious by those who went through it. Do Brits think joking about John Lennon's shooting is hilarious? They didn't even joke about Charles I's beheading when Charles III was crowned, and nobody is left who watched the beheading.

Look into the Scottish “hate crime” laws ifyou want to feel better. There is such a thing as thought crime there now. At least you have 1A.

Well that's because the US has a culture of unbridled egocentrism, the biggest religious group is literally an apocalyptic death cult and you respect guns more than women.

[@martavdz4972]

Same here in Central Europe, our problem is emotions and division. I watched Lithuanian presidential election debates and I nearly cried, I was so moved. They weren´t always level-headed and to the point, but compared to Czech and Slovak election debates (and the nightmare that is Hungarian politics), it was like a sea of tranquility. Some debates felt more like brainstorming, not opponents arguing. The good old 1990s when politics was boring.

[@deadshot8077]

@@martavdz4972 is Lithuania not “enriched” enough yet? Do you need more “diversity” and more loud calls to prayer close to your home twice a day? Please do volunteer to accept more immigrants.

[@despot666]

@@martavdz4972 Yeah, US is far from the only country with problems, and there are definitely places in Europe that are in a worse situation. But we're catching up fast. The COVID inquiry in the UK that has had such a negative impact on the power of the conservative party would have had the opposite effect in the US. Just consider that Trump is more popular now than he was BEFORE the January 6th insurrection and before he was indicted for multiple crimes. There is no scandal big enough to bring him down because nothing matters anymore.
