There's a reason the Kirk-types always do this on college campuses with campus security looking over their shoulder and not fucking Manchester lmao

That dude is so never getting any.

You clearly do not understand these right wing conservatives fucks.

I mean look at Erika Kirk who seems to be completely okay with her shitbag husband. Her actions paint her as every bit the supporter and champion of these held beliefs that her husband and her shared

He looks like a caricature of a British person.

okay which one of you was this. i need to pay you for the beans

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

The whole thing is so weird.

So here I am just minding my own business and this little skid mark turns up, so I just throw the can of beans that I carry with me at all times at him.

Also if somebody was hit in the head buy a can of beans they'd be dead. That's a lot of weight.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 4 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

When he says 'chucked in my face' (rather than 'at' my face), I figured loose, wet, saucy beans.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

so like, did someone open the can of beans first and then throw the beans?

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's what I figured by his wording, but I doubt either option actually happened.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

i think we have a new political [throwing rotten cabbage]. beans are harder to wash out

dude. i ordered a can of whoopass on doordash. what the hell. you take that for yourself?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's possible there could be more then 1 can of whoopass at a time. I don't whoop and drive.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

dude, this you? you whoop everywhere

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 17 hours ago

I've seen the videos that no one throws anything at him. He does get punched out but that's it. I am wasting beans on him.

No recompense for the urine?

Just ask your local Amazon driver for theirs.

you haven't been maintaining your super soaker 50 for the last 30 years?

Moffitt also hinted that he would return to the same spot for further debates on ‘remigration’ – the forced return of migrants and their descendants – but next time would bring a ‘team of lads’ for security.

He said: ‘This is England. I do not want to become a demographically replaced hellhole. What I saw that day was a group of migrant lads being egged on by left-wing agitators.’

Oh, buddy, you just don't get it.

He said: ‘This is England. I do not want to become a demographically replaced hellhole. What I saw that day was a group of migrant lads being egged on by left-wing agitators.’

" … and then I would cum in my pants cause I was led to all this hate by a corridor of online voices telling me that it was everyone else's fault that I can't talk to girls like a regular person." [he didn't really say that part, your slander laws are stupid UK]

Though I am anti-violence, I found this delightful. Fascists getting what fascists deserve. Sorry, "lads."

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 21 hours ago

Hopefully he does come back and does it again, he keeps filming himself and his band of idiots committing crimes. He's the best CI there is.

That's because he didn't go to debate, he went to shit stir and play the victim when confronted. Slap it up ye. Ballbag.

I love that for Manchester.

I had no idea who Young Bob was until a video of him in the front lines of the rioting in Southampton and then being interviewed by Owen Jones in Makerfield. He's certainly not a British Charlie Kirk: has zero charisma, couldn't understand Jones' (pretty basic) questions and struggled to articulate coherent answers. Jones had to continuously repeat and simplify his questioning and even then Young Bob couldn't comprehend. He's the big, loud-mouthed rightwinger who sits in Year 11 classes who won't stop giving his racist and misogynist views and everyone hates.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 points 21 hours ago

So, he's the male version of Pearl, is what you're saying? 🤣

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 1 day ago

I like the bit where he thinks he's been oppressed because he got fired from McDonald's for been an arse. You just know that he was insufferable to work with.

What a cunt. Deserved it.

So the UK news will refer to you by your chosen online name? Interesting.

[–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Metro isn't a newspaper, it's a comic.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 21 hours ago

There's a reason to give it away for free

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 107 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Anyone who aspires to be like Charlie Kirk should enjoy the exact same ending as Charlie Kirk.

"Follow your leader"

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 41 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, we are British. Stabbed and left to bleed out on the floor is more of our style.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It really is best if fascists around the world experience a wide and diverse range of mechanims of finding out

For some, a bullet, for others, a knife in the kidney beans, for yet more, grenades in a ditch, from each according to their ability.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By a chav on a bicycle, right?

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Aren't most 'chavs' just 30 something millenials now? I don't think the youth still use that word.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Is it “roadman” now? Is that the same thing?

[–] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

From what I've gathered no, as 'roadman' means a hard guy who deals drugs and that sort of dangerous machismo is appealing to young men, hence so many of them emulating the look.

Chav wasn't gender or age specific, so had a much wider catchment for who it could describe.

I really don't know what the new 'chav' is though, you'd have to ask a teenager.
