Centrist calling for more civility in politics can f**k right off

21st July 2023

A CENTRIST who believes everyone should show more civility towards right-wingers has been told to shove it up his liberal arse.

Oliver O’Connor believes that instead of calling Nigel Farage names such as ‘frog-faced racist shithead’ it would be better to debate with him in a civilised way, perhaps at a garden party hosted by The Spectator.

Liberals and leftists would then have a rational discussion with Farage about whether asylum seekers should be shot or bayoneted, which would be sure to make him reconsider his views.

O’Connor said: “Ed Balls’ podcast with George Osborne has definitely made the rich, supremely arrogant former chancellor question austerity. Jess Phillips having tea with Jacob Rees-Mogg was marvellous also. We can all see what a positive influence she’s had on him.

“Best of all was Keir Starmer drinking champagne with Rupert Murdoch. That was the height of civility. I’m sure Murdoch really regretted his ruthless, self-serving behaviour and didn’t make Starmer dance like a monkey for his amusement.”

However academic Donna Sheridan, author of Brown-Nosing Twats: Centrist Politics 2010-2023, said: “There’s only one way to treat the right-wing trolls, gaslighters, bigots and quasi-fascists currently running Britain and that’s to turn them into dogfood.

“It sounds extreme, but think of the benefits. For a start you wouldn’t have so-called liberals pathetically bleating on every time someone on Twitter calls one of their Tory mates a bastard.”

O’Connor politely disagreed, saying: “Politics would be so much nicer if Jeremy Corbyn had done a jovial podcast with Priti Patel. But he didn’t, so it’s all the left’s fault again, quelle surprise.”

Seven ways of impressing teenage girls that are dead easy now it's too late

21st July 2023

MALE teenagers are desperate to impress girls, which is tricky without money or your independence. But now you could easily wow them with these everyday middle-aged skills. WARNING: Don’t.

Getting served in the offie

Any teenage crush would have been impressed by this. Now you buy booze as a matter of course, which might explain why you’re considerably fatter and more haggard than when you were 17. You’d definitely have snogged Rachel Grint if you’d shared a decent Rioja in the bus shelter instead of a can of Vimto.

Owning the latest trainers

You probably wouldn’t spend £150+ on trainers, but you could easily afford this infrequent purchase if it increased your chances of a shag. Your parents didn’t see it this way and you had to make do with mediocre trainers or – and this is child cruelty – no-brand velcro ones from C&A. God, your parents must have hated you, but on the upside you weren’t responsible for any teenage pregnancies.

Not having spots

In your late teens or early 20s spots suddenly disappear entirely, making you wonder what was the f**king point of them making your life a misery for the last six years. If you walked up to a group of teenagers in the local park you’d be the most zit-free of any of them. The only problem is that as a lone middle-aged male you’d look like a creepy paedo. Even more so if you started talking about spots.

Owning a car

Now you’ve got one you just find driving a boring chore associated with going to work and unremarkable family days out. However the cruellest irony is that you don’t even need a very good car to impress teenage girls. You could easily pick up an old Citroen Saxo, bung on some skirting and stick in a couple of bass bins and you’d be pretty popular with tracksuited hotties – if you weren’t the oldest boy racer alive.

Staying up late

You can stay up as late as you want now. Back in the day girls would have been impressed if you didn’t have to be home by 9.30pm because your fascist parents said so, although it would be deeply strange if this rule still applied now you’re 44. In addition, staying up just makes you fret about being knackered at work, even if the only young women you’re hanging out with are on Babestation or Pornhub.

Your superhuman alcohol tolerance

It’s a long while since you projectile vomited after four pints of cider, so you are extremely cool. Of course, if you had a session with serious drinkers your own age you’d be exposed as a lightweight who’s unconscious by his seventh pint. Teenage girls wouldn’t know this, but that’s because they wouldn’t be allowed in the pub, so this increasingly confusing timewarp situation is still not helping you in any way.

Your own pad

It’s easy as an adult to forget the immeasurable benefit to your love life of your mum not ‘checking up on you’. And while your current flat or house is nothing special, it’s way more romantic than sitting in McDonald’s all evening. In a way, teenage boys are the ideal people to have mortgages, because you wouldn’t find them whinging about interest rates if there was the slightest possibility of getting wanked off by Sally Hewson from 5CW.
