Im a heavy sleeper

I was thinking about monty pythons the life of brian last night.. and how they faced a lot of backlash from the religious community and almost got banned... but ultimately the media stood up for comedy saying "its just a bit of fun" ... I wonder if they would have the same reaction today if it was "the life of mahmood"

I mean obviously if it featured mohammed then its instantly a no-go .. but if it was a similar story - but no depiction of the prophet

"Its the Judea people's front!"
"Its the people's front of Judea!"

*fighting ensues*

I noticed last night they put all the monty python films and series on netflix... might have to watch life of brian again 😃

I remember this story from when I was really young... I remember my mum being really sad about it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-43987079?ocid=socialflow_twitter&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_mchannel=social

but who is appealing for a dead guy?

did you watch sargon's recent speech on marxism?

#VoteLabour is trending in my country :/

its so weird the detatchment from twitter/twitter polls - and real life voting... its like polar opposite

@wacka linky?

oh interesting... getting some disruptions in the UK today after they rolled out ID checks in voter booths

can literally be anything... even a debit card

and still people are furious :/

All you white ameritard and europedo people are going to be refugees living in tents in my backyard in australia in a few decades

thx for the offer

its strange they point out that "hardly any voter fraud is going on so why do it."... but surely thats the best time to implement something like a basic ID check... surely if there is already a lot of voter fraud going on, then it would be harder to implement... nip it in the bud as they say

like.. I would say in the US.. its already too late.. maybe?

There's enough known voter fraud going on to make it worthwhile. With elections happening on razer thin margins at the moment as everyone is so split it doesn't take a lot of fraud to flip elections

looks like theres only a small pocket of ISIS in the south of Damascus now, final rebels bussed out

gov is rolling in tanks as we speak... also a couple of heli's around

jeez theyre annihilating the place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWfG1P3bRH8

Im not sure if a single MSM outlet reported evidence given by that kid (hassan?) at the hague

Im not sure if Ive read the translation correctly.. but it sounds like this article is saying there will be a staged chemical attack in Deir ez-Zor? ...Will be interesting if we see a "chemical attack" happen in the near future https://www.bfm.ru/news/383912?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=v-sirii-gotovitsya-novaya-provokatsiya-s-hi

also rebels just surrendered in north homs

gotta love MSM
BBC News - Virgin media to cut 800 jobs
Sky News - Virgin media to Axe 500 jobs
BBC news wales - Virgin media to cut 700 jobs

The actual news is that theyre closing 8 call centres ... and theyre just estimating the number of people... I dont know why they dont just go with the headline: Virgin Media closing 8 call centres

because 8 is a smaller number

but how far does it go... if 800ppl lose their jobs - thats potentially 800 families .. could they use the headline saying it will affect thousands of people - even if its indirectly ... how far does it go

as far as it needs to to sell headlines

but the BBC is funded from taxes - they have no adverts - no requirements to "sell" anything

I wonder if its deeper than that... like its just how people are trained now or something?

like theyre not even trying to sell consciously.. its just "this is how to write articles"

of course the BBC needs to sell itself, the people are starting to rebel against taxes being used to fund it because its so not a news place anymore
