The Daily Mail continues to threaten us with a good time.

@futurebird @Nickiquote I wonder the same thing all the time! And this paper has been doing it for *decades.* The entire time I lived in London, you couldn't get in a black cab without the driving immediately reeling off Daily Heil headlines at you, and then preening themselves on their quality cockney cab banter

@Nickiquote can we throw some drugs in as well? Maybe free gym?

[las_lallero@puntarella.party]

@Nickiquote but imagine having such a void skull between the ears! The lightness! The peace, the limitless self-esteem, never to be interrupted by doubt... I envy them SO much.

@Nickiquote the weird thing is how views have diverged so far that people take opposite meanings from the same thing

Their article includes a video of Zack being perfectly normal and reasonable in a way that presumably gets DM readers riled up in anger

[richbartlett@infosec.exchange]

@capnthommo @Nickiquote I'm really not sure they've thought through the impact of tagging the Greens as pro porn and pro drugs, I suspect there's a strong segment of their readership who will respond with "how do I vote for the pro drugs pro porn party?"

[benjamincox@writing.exchange]

@Nickiquote Surprised that the Daily Fail aren’t pro-porn because that “article” is a load of wank. 🤮

The "green menace"

Holy quack, are they afraid of colours and nature??

[nickiquote@mstdn.social]

@anominominominous The Daily Mail specialise in synthesising moral panics and they are not subtle about their intention to do so, down to aping old moral panic terms like “Red Menace”.

@Nickiquote

Ah, I'm not from the UK, but unfortunately I know the good old Daily (giggles) Fail

[robertoarchimboldi@kolektiva.social]

@Nickiquote what I quite like is the way that a policy of letting people find a job becomes giving them a wage. I appreciate that the Daily Mail's editors are unlikely to have done a days work in their life, but they ought to have some conception about how remuneration for labour works

[dave@europhiles.uk]

@Nickiquote is the "pro-drugs and porn" meant to be consumed together? Does paracetamol count?

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@Nickiquote @sean

Sounds good to me.

[otfrom@functional.cafe]

@Nickiquote I'm in. Sounds like a great policy platform

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@Nickiquote this does indeed sound like good news.

In very simplistic terms, I think a Green win in Gorton and Denton tomorrow would surely be the best option overall.

Starmer could get the boot as a result and in any case Labour might start trying to appeal to the left rather than endlessly chasing racists who would rather vote for full-throated fascism anyway.

A Reform win would be very bad news, of course, and a Labour win would only be seen as support for the miserable status quo and a “vote for fascism lite” message.

…and according to the polls there’s only a few hundred votes between them, and people probably don’t know which way would be best to vote tactically as a result. Good-o. #UKpol #greenparty

@The4thCircle This is very good.
