I wouldn't listen to a (former) member of Mumford and Sons' opinions about music, so I'll be fucked if I'll give houseroom to brainfarts about immigration.

We've all rightly been discussing numbers 1-10 of 'what is mad about this tweet' that I've only just noticed that in addition to giving houseroom to some mad ideas on the right, she is also giving houseroom to a mad idea that the SNP leadership spends quite a lot of time (rightly) clamping down on:
She writes that the reasons "Ethnics" can identify as Scottish is due to haggis and Loch Ness keeping Scottishness going. But all English culture (hills, cricket and Shakespeare) are seen as British, therefore preventing any ethnic minority person identifying as English, she claims.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Conservative criticism of Labour I absolutely did not give enough intellectual houseroom to pre-election was 'none of these guys have ever created a job'.

'No patience for pessimism or nihilism', I claim, while giving intellectual houseroom to the idea that race war is inevitable, that my country is in decline, that only brutal atrocity against other human beings can save it.

The one bit of houseroom I will give 'local government will expose Reform' is a lot of the county councils they run now are basically 'their statutory obligations to provide adult social care and special needs support + ONE cultural event' and possible one of them ends up cancelling it.
To be fair, Durham County Council also are one of the funders of a brass festival!

How cheap would the Johnson memoir have to be for you to give it houseroom? I’d need it to be free with a £50 note as a bookmark. Maybe two bookmarks, thinking about it.

I think societal decline started when we allowed this phrase houseroom. I count myself as one of the Guilty Men.

Not trusting my thoughts til I’ve eaten something.
Thoughts quite bad, but they don’t get houseroom until I’ve had some toast.

The Moral Maze has always been a sewer, but giving Curtis fucking Yarvin houseroom is beyond the pale. The BBC are both-sidesing themselves to death.

And from a political perspective, any party or movement that embraces hardline anti-prison or anti-police sentiments (or even just gives them houseroom) will quickly find itself being lampooned, correctly, for taking the side of criminals over their victims!

Was about to link to a lovely YouTube upload of some old telly but when I clicked on the first episode I saw it was tagged "AI Upscale" and honestly, I'm not giving that stuff houseroom.

The idea that Jenrick, who earned the nickname of ‘Honest Bob’ because of his underhand dealings with business men; painted over Disney murals in case a child refugee found comfort, sees himself as the arbiter of honesty is beyond travesty. Decent people wouldn’t give him houseroom.

I am still not inclined to give any houseroom at all to the idea the snapping happened, simply because unless the NYT has developed the world's most astonishing hiring system, no way that, e.g. the people from ad sales or accounts in that orientation doing that, and they were all *strangers*.

Yeah, one reason why I gave it absolutely no houseroom is it would come from people where the answer would mostly be 'yeah, but neither have you? Sorry, that you have the same colour rosette as Gillian Keegan or Jeremy Hunt, both of whom you despise, does not mean you know shit!'

Supporter of genocide meets perpetrator of genocide against the people of Palestine. Herzog should not be in the country. I wouldn’t give him houseroom. He has nothing to say; he will just spout hate & wants to kill all Palestinians. We know babies & young children are Hamas. #FreePalestine #Shame
