Is it a joke or a death threat?

So, the remarkable Jess Phillips is seemingly going to have to resign having threatened to kill Jeremy Corbyn several years ago.

Beanz, you are clearly autistic. I am laughing at you as I knew you would bite. This is a tongue in cheek mocking of a hypocrite who by her own criteria is suggesting she must be forced from office herself. After all who decides what words have meaning?

Of course she doesn't want to kill anyone and clearly Benjamin does not want to rape anyone. He did add on that there is not enough beer, but likewise it is called a joke. All so silly as are you.

Obsessed is the media. And the double standards are your own. Honk honk.

And why do you bring up all the other unrelated stuff every time? I wasn't even having a go at Jones here and don't care what he thinks about something else. I agree on some things and disagree on others. Stop being so weird. Jones himself flip flops on Corbyn but has never suggested knifing him.

Phillips is a typical lefty free speech hater and you are just a silly white knight who will go along with it to make yourself feel better. With freedom of speech will come things that make us uncomfortable or laugh. No way around that. Thus I accept her comment and no apology required. 😜

[Beanz]

You really do not understand it do you? You bring these things up and then throw a hissy fit when everyone does not agree with you. It becomes such an arduous experience for you that you then have to resort to not only inventing an opposing argument nobody is making but you have to descend into personal attacks to make your opponent seem to be deranged.

Where did I start a thread moaning about the bloke egging Corbyn or bring up Benjamin using rape threats as a verbal attack on a woman?

When you say things like

"Beanz, you are clearly autistic. I am laughing at you as I knew you would bite"

It proves you are quite the callous and cruel backstabber and have more in common with Benjamin than you realise.

I can't help being autistic anymore than you can help being a lanky cunt. It has been incredibly helpful to me in many ways and made life much harder in others. Just like women can not help figuring disproportionately in rape victim figures when Lardon or whatever he is called says


'I would not even Rape you'

He is clearly inferring that women not only choose to be raped, but that it is about sex and sexual attraction and not the imposition of power and domination thru violence it really is.Adding on 'There is not enough beer' does not transform what he said into a joke or make things better it just reinforces that stereotype and proves like you how little empathy, common sense or decency the bloke has.

It is not being PC or a white knight to point out these things it's just common sense and straight talking. Nobody would say it on Benjamins channel because there is a weird cult like 100% sucking of his balls clogging up his comment section. You seem perturbed that the same sycophancy is not shared by 100% of the posters here. That is life. Get over it nobody is insisting you need to change your mind or seeking to catch you out and trap you.

I didn't actually know for sure if you were autistic or not, but good for you for admitting as much. I consider that brave and might explain why you sometimes have problems reading me as I am a bit quirky. I must admit you have puzzled me a lot over the years. It might also explain your thing for details.

Like I say though, I have my criticisms of Jones, but really wasn't doing so here. It really is just laughing at Phillips and riffing on recent topics.

I have sometimes wondered if I fall onto the autistic side of the spectrum myself with my anti social and bookish tendencies, but it really is no issue. I think we all fit somewhere in the rainbow of personality types and are who we are. I am quite a complicated personality, so I try to keep myself as simple as I can.

I think you struggle a bit reading the different modes I use for posting. I can reassure you that I am not at all upset that you are challenging my point of view. At times I am combative, other times sincere, and others flippant, or mocking. I do think Robinson, Akkad, and Phillips are entitled to their voices and I am very much into free speech.

I also know that we can be sensitive about things sometimes, so if one goes to far we can consider that too. I am not entirely unreasonable. And needless to say, I do not want to knife you. Or is it the opposite? I jest of course. Putting on Alan Partridge voice: 'Or should we forget about all this and have a cup of tea?'

Clever response by that twitter user albeit an apples and oranges comparison.


It's beyond my comprehension how a guy (Mark Meechan/Count Dankula) who was a lefty his entire life makes a joke an EASILY understood parody (which isn't benefiting, glamorizing, or showering with praise) of Nazis and for some reason the herd mentality of certain folks take it seriously and due to that they label Mark Meechan/Count Dankula an actual Nazi.



I really do wonder why this has continued.....do these outraged folks who see him a Nazi actually believe he's a Nazi OR are they so embarrassed by their awful take they're thinking "Maybe if we actually think he's a Nazi until he dies or capitulates to our outrage machine we won't look so bad at the end of all this"


Also other notable "Nazis": John Cleese, Charlie Chaplain, Mel Brooks, Freddie Starr.....yet Meechan receives death threats for it and oddly enough not even from Nazis he was mocking, but from people who are "Anti-Fascist" yet those very same people have some very strict views on speech.....
