Elsewhere in Birdland

This is the current state of political discourse chez Oolong. Matt Convente should clearly have made a racist remark in his post, he’d have got away with it then…

In other Oolong news, he’s suing people for not advertising on his platform:

This is slightly rich coming from the man who famously told advertisers to go fuck themselves, but hey, you do you, cuntface. It’s not like you’re smart enough to do anything else.

Also, in stopped clock news…

Piers Morgan has hit out at Elon Musk over his inflamatory remarks about Britain’s ongoing race riots.
Violent disorder has spread across the country in the wake of the stabbings of three young girls in Southport, after misinformation spread that the killer was a Muslim asylum seeker.
Hundreds of people have been arrested, with thousands of police officers deployed to prepare for further actions throughout the week. At least one person has been left seriously injured as a result of racist and Islamophobic attacks, with stabbings, street beatings, and mosques under siege.
The billionaire tech owner has been accused of fanning the flames of unrest, as he shared a video of a group of Asian men gathered around a pub in Birmingham with the caption, “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain?” to X/Twitter on Tuesday (6 August).
He tagged UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer in the post, after the Labour leader condemned actions against groups based on their race or religion and called for mosques to be protected.
Morgan called out Musk for the comment as he chastised, “Elon, fake news was posted that the triple child-killer was a Muslim illegal immigrant who came in on a small boat and was on a terror watchlist.
“This prompted far-right rioters to attack Muslims & asylum seekers. I haven’t seen you mention/condemn any of this?”

Piers Morgan is one of the most genuinely baffling people in British media, in that he is transparently a piece of shit, but every so often the ideological scales fall from his eyes and he comes up against someone who’s just too big a cunt even for him and he puts forward a Good Take. The whole Southport situation has been so revolting I haven’t wanted to say anything about it, but Piers is being honest: the far-right shitheads that Apartheid Clyde insists on increasingly appealing too ARE the ones at fault in this awful case, all these fucking Yaxley-Lennon wannabes “taking their country back from immigrants” by looting stores that weren’t actually immigrant-owned and so forth… ugh. What a cunt Musk is, standing with these so-called people.
