I see ex-PM Boris Johnson has become a father for the ninth time (that we know about).

His fourth kid to thon Carrie bint.

It's a given that at least one of these runts will be groomed for office in around 30 years.

Thank f*ck I'll most likely be away by then.

The entitlement running through that generation of Johnson will be off the scale.

A shocking decision.

Supposedly playing a gig in Glasgow, in July.

Should be a good night and sure they will get a few things off their chests.

Just playing devil's advocate here - and couldn't really care less about Kneecap and their attempts to shock for fame - but what if they were calling for people to go out and kill trans folks? Or women? Or ethnic minorities? Or all socialists? Is a call to kill someone acceptable directed at one group but not others?

I back hatred for all tories (and Reform and UKIP etc. etc.) but never to kill, even if said in jest or in irony. They could take some lessons from the likes of Public Enemy in effectively getting a message out through music.

But I don't really follow it closely enough to care about them or know the full is and outs of their messaging, but just curious.

Personally I would have chucked them off the bill based on the (non)quality of their music (and that's not me being mid-fifties and going blah bah blah this sort of music sucks - it is based on their music being p*sh)

I reckon Starmer's a dark horse when it comes to booze and could outdrink Farage 15 pints of bitter to 4 - whilst backing all the winners at Newmarket

Mozz recorded Margaret on the Guillotine in the 80s. It?s not one of his best but attacking Tories is nothing new.

It?s just an occupational hazard. If they didnt want abuse, they shouldnt have become Tories in the first place

There been rumours for years that Starmer is a total jakeball

I can't really argue with that.

The "only good tory is a dead tory" comment I can live with. That's OK and a sentiment shared by many. I just feel a call to kill your local MP is just a bit too far in my eyes. There's a lot of f**k wits out there who will take it literally, resulting in another Jo Cox or whoever the Es*** bloke was.

But, again. What if it was a right wing group of trump supporting yahoos calling for an uprising against the trans community. What would the reaction be to that?

And I'm really not having a go - I tend to agree with most of your politics. I am just curious if hate is OK towards some but not others depending on ones viewpoint and political leaning etc, or if it is easier to defend and condone people's comments when they mirror your own to some extent?

Personally, I just want to live in a world where people are people, and as long as they aren't c***s we repsect others views and choices even if we disagree - but where's the fun in that!
