#dailyhate — Public Fediverse posts

Whoever it was that decided "smart" quotes should apply everywhere can DIAF. Yes, by all means auto cow wreck normal quotes to fancy curly things in a word processor, but doing that in a text editor or a notes app is just wrong.

Also, let’s talk about those books.
A book on etiquette, a book on ‘accent reduction’, and a book on teaching manners to children.

Actually, on second thought, let’s not.

Now about that ‘international author claim. Let’s see what #SiamaQadar has written, shall we?

Oh.

Dr Qadar has written three books with a total of 3 ratings on Goodreads.

Now, I'm not going to dis someone for being an indie author. You know, because I am one.

But if I had 3 books with a grand total of 3 ratings … I'm not sure I'd be drawing attention to that in my campaign leaflet, you know?

#YouAndWhoseMoney #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

If you think a local mayor for a single inner London borough can implement these policies without funding, you're more deluded than I was that time I spent a week being pumped full of morphine and thought the bathroom door was talking to me.

And now, let's zero in on a couple of the other pledges.

Siama wants to build more social/affordable homes and combat crime. Two very worthy goals.

But…

Spoiler alert: This is going to be a recurring theme in this review. I like to call it, Oh yeah? #YouAndWhoseMoney? These are nice policies. But the only way a local mayor can implement them is with cash from the central government.

Let’s start with this little snippet right here.

'Reviewing … the effectiveness of universal 20mph roads to alleviate traffic congestion.'

Sounds pretty banal. Except… Is she for 20mph limits or against them?

First up, #SiamaQadar for the #Tories.

Honestly… As Tory manifestos go, this is pretty inoffensive stuff. She’s local. She’s against crime and for affordable housing. She’s an international author … whatever the hell that means.

I dunno. What do you think? Should I dig a bit deeper?

All right. Let’s dive into the 2024 candidates and their manifestos. I’ll list them in the order they appear in the booklet.

Love this from the Christian People's Alliance website:
Ms Martin was 'discriminated against for daring to follow the teachings of Christ'.

You know, Jesus, who was famous for declaring that we should all hate our neighbour as we hate ourselves.

That's what he said, right? I'm not misremembering that, am I?

So, like, she thought she could ban equal marriage in one random London borough?

Following the furore, Ms Martin’s employer had a little look see at her Twitter feed, where she was found sharing anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric, and promptly sacked her for ‘FAILING TO INFORM THEM OF HER INTENTION TO STAND FOR OFFICE’.

Anyways, that was 2022. Let’s see what this year brings.

So, first off, the tweet that caught the attention of the fash. I shared a photo of #MaureenMartin’s actual campaign leaflet, which stated that she would:
'cut through political correctness and state the truth that natural marriage between a man and a woman is the fundamental building block for a successful society, and the safest environment for raising children'.

I’m doing this between work meetings, so bear with me.

Way back in the dawn of time (2022), we had a local election in the London Borough of #Lewisham. I took to Twitter (which was the fashion at the time), to pillory the candidates. My tweets caused a bit of a ruckus. Ultimately, they got me name checked by the #DailyHate and a bunch of far-right websites.

Anyways, guess what time it is! That's right it's Lewisham mayoral election time! And that means I've read the manifestos so you don't have to.

We need to talk about ‘#RacismLaundering’: what it is, who benefits – and how to be vigilant

The row over claims of #ghostwriting at the #DailyMail has sparked debate about how #ToxicPolicies are pursued and narratives created

Who shall we blame? The #Tories? Of course not! Let’s blame the #EU, let’s blame #refugees, let’s blame #Starmer! Let’s blame anyone but the people in power (cough The #Tories cough) who created the situation in the first place! #ToriesOut #DailyHate #Brexit
