I've never understood what the phrase 'family man' is supposed to be telling me. I saw a lot of Reform candidates described as such during the General Election.

Surely it can't be as simple as 'not one of them queers', can it?

Yes

[Yug]

If someone thought "family man" was good code for "straight", they might be interested to hear about a bloke called Reg Dwight.

[Youngian]

'Family man' does smack of responsible law abiding breadwinner who puts the wife and kids first. Using the phrase to describe a halfwit who terrorises asylum seekers and pick fights with the police in riots is a stretch.

[Andy McDandy]

Family man, cares about his kids.

Leads mob to lynch the local suspected wrong'un.

Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false claims against a Syrian refugee.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted 10 breaches of a High Court order made in 2021 during a hearing in Woolwich Crown Court.

I wonder if he'll write a book about his struggle while he's locked up.

[Youngian]

Perhaps it’s the Irish in him that persuades Tommeh to keep pursuing this martyrdom strategy. It does play among his moronic followers who are too thick to understand what he has done wrong. A low category prisoner serving white boy time that tops up his lucrative fighting funds when he comes out. Although 18 months is probably more than he bargained for but deserves for being a serial piss taker of the courts.

I see what you did there!

I can't hear the phrase "family man" without thinking of this chap, but I bet he's not the type Reform have in mind at all.

That'll be Aston 'Family Man" Barrett, bass guitar player and an integral part of the Wailers sound. Definitely not the Reform type.

A month per name. That sounds about right.

One of the most influential bass players of the last 50 years and yet I only discovered this afternoon, whilst looking for his picture to post here, that he died earlier this year.

On top of that, he also taught Robbie Shakespeare how to play, who, arguably, went on to be even more influential. Two remarkable men who taught an entire species to bomp an' grine

No way, I didn't know that...

For the last year or so we've had a copy of "The Light" shoved through our door every couple of months. I don't know if it's ever been mentioned on here before but this is a hard right anti vax, anti pretty much anti everything paper which I find deeply disturbing. Yesterday for once, I was in the house when it dropped so I dashed outside and handed the paper back to the bloke who'd posted it. Cue a torrent of abuse from this deeply unpleasant man who's closing line was "fuck off, you've had the vaccine so you'll be dead soon anyway" in response to me telling him he knew nothing about me or my views and all I wanted to do was to give his paper back to him. This happened right outside my own front door. He was exactly like I imagine these people to be like. My missus was mortified, saying that he'd be back to smash our windows and I'm still absolutely fuming.

Much of this hanging/traitors/treason rhetoric can be directly traced back to 2016 and the 'Enemies of the People' headline. Dacre has much to answer for.

The Restore Trust people have had another arse kicking in the National Trust elections. They showed their usual common sense by running against politicization of the Trust, while linking up with Nigel Farage.

[Andy McDandy]

As ever, it's only politicisation if the other lot are doing it.
