    The WTF? Thread

    What is wrong with this country?

    http://metro.co.uk/2017/02/06/man-charged-over-racist-attack-in-which-woman-lost-unborn-twins-6430971/

    It's almost like each and every racist has been emboldened by something, isn't it?

      The WTF? Thread

      I have a very bizarre, WTF, car chase in LA on in the background. Someone in a Honda Odyssey minivan seems to be driving using all the correct road rules, but not stopping for the swarm of police cars behind him. He's waiting at all the intersections and red lights, using blinkers, driving around 30mph by the look of things.

            Clickbait corner:

            (Link is to Daily Mail)

            http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4202574/Man-winds-Brief-Encounter-clock-BANNED-station.html


            Jim Walker has been keeping the clock ticking in Carnforth Station since 2004
            He was 'banned' from entering parts of the station after an alleged racist remark

            ...

            The former train driver said he was overheard discussing a newspaper article which compared Jewish children arriving in England in 1933 and the refugees entering the UK from Calais.

            The 71-year-old, husband to Betty, said the migrants were 'incomparable' with the six-year-old Jewish children arriving on Kindertransport trains fleeing the Nazis.
            Bang to rights, my son!

                                      Not sure where this falls on the imaginary "is it a sandwich or not" continuum that some hot dog aficionados have thought up but anyway

                                        Along with the obvious WTF-ery about that, Ad Hoc, it also has one of my favourite things. Which is the dual-language description when the translation is either identical or almost identical.

                                          In fairness, they did a good job saying their lines and creating fake eye-contact while not tripping down the steps.

                                              Kellie Leitch is a dogwhistle racist who's running for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. T'other day, she released this utterly whackadoodle video full of weird glances, awkward pauses and verbal ticks. Various people have created some wonderful compilations. Here's just a taste.

                                                For context, when Harper was still in power, she wanted to set up a tipline for reporting "Barbaric Cultural Practices", and is running a large part of her campaign on a 'Canadian Values Test' for new immigrants; you know, do you say sorry often enough, do you like hockey, are you planning to blow yourself up in a crowd, etc.

                                                  Like Ben Carson, Leitch stands for the proposition that one can be a successful surgeon while remaining as dumb as dirt.

                                                    As I recall, one of her "Canadian values" was tolerance/acceptance of LGBT people. As an American, it's depressing to think that even Canada's right-wing idiots are still nicer than ours. Of course, maybe that was just bullshit to make her bigotry seem less bigoted.

                                                    Conservatives, despite preaching "liberty" and small government, are very keen on controlling the culture.
