  1. Drop the redacted Epstein files. Take heat for 24 hours. Start bombing Iran. Media moves on. #deadcat

    Can't help thinking that the politics around #Ukraine this week was a coordinated action by the regular bad actors.

    I'm thinking of it as 'throwing a #DeadCat through the #OvertonWindow' (although it's really rudimentary 'art of the deal' stuff)

    Trump's 'Zelenskyy is a dictator' was the over-reaching cat that enabled Farage to say (after breath had been baited) 'Trump is wrong, but we should consider elections in Ukraine' as an (apparently) moderate view.

    There's always a longer game.

  5. #flytipping is a very serious matter, punishable by a fine of up to £50,000 or 12 months imprisonment if convicted in a Magistrates' Court. The offence can also attract an unlimited fine and up to 5 years in prison.

    But Rishi wants to go one better and stick two points on your licence

    (Dead cats should also be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way)

  7. I'm seeing an increasing number of sources making it clear that the genocidal Israeli state's allegations against #unrwa probably have no substance. I said it looked like a dead cat.
    But USA, UK, Germany and others are aiding and abetting #genocide by their withdrawal of funding.

  9. @JessTheUnstill Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in order to #deadcat developments related to his first #impeachment. Arguably, that move helped precipitate the shift towards the normalisation of relations between #SaudiArabia and #Israel that in turn was one of the major provocations regarding the escalation of the conflict that occurred on 7th Oct last year.

    Biden has been the second worst US president when it comes to supporting Palestinian rights and reflexively backing Israel's myriad crimes, second only to Trump.

  11. CW: Israel-Gaza war

    I don't know whether Israel's allegations of UNRWA staff being involved in Hamas terrorism have any evidence behind them or not.

    But what does seem obvious is that the timing of those allegations stinks. These are allegations about events that happened 4 months ago, but they choose the day of the ICJ judgement to make them public?

    Do they think we're idiots?

  13. @AlanBell I didn't have to read that to know just which attention-seeking school head it was... the amount of performative faux outrage being paraded around by RW commentators over this ad is cringeful. Although I guess it's a good #DeadCat to distract from the #CovidInquiry

  15. Soooo. a pink doll = new feminism vs nuclear holocaust genocide, and the $billion box office rating game.

    No one is talking about the moral tragedy of the Bomb, they're too busy thinkin bout Kens pink shirts.

  17. @ChrisMayLA6 yes indeed #IAmGaryLineker (and loving the #hashtag ) and, stealing from someone else, watch out for the #deadcat array on Sunday morning’s round 😹

  18. @bantams56 @mpe

    If this was the #deadCat tactic in action, it backfired spectacularly - #football is of interest to millions who can't be bothered with politics - except now politics is bothering #football - and only the already firmly #rightWing do not like #lineker

    A massive #ownGoal by both #bbc and #toriesOut

  21. My Dad (88) spent 9 days in hospital over Christmas, 2 in A&E, the remainder on a ward where 4 days passed without seeing a doctor. He was a consultant at this hospital for 25 years when standards of care were valued and achievable. He will be mightily heartened to hear #Sunak breaking his silence today for some deadcatting on unfunded & unresourced plans for maths teaching #nhs #maths #deadcat

  22. I reckon the current U.K. govt were shit scared that they were going to lose the Rwanda court case today. So someone called in a favour with The Sun / Clarkson to provide a distraction. But they didn’t lose the case. So instead of doubling down (hard to imagine, but just about feasible) the piece has now apparently been pulled from the so called Newspaper’s web site.
    As if “Harry & Meghan” wasn’t enough of an outsourced #DeadCat 🐈 on its own 🙄
