Hunter Biden finally freed, and Elon Musk bankrolls Nigel Farage | Podcast #103

I’m 7 minutes in and the line “famously moreish” describing crack might be hard to beat

Wild takes.....oh Biden bad because he pardons his son....despite running America very well, being a professional and respected president, although obviously very old. And his opponent being the obsolute scum of the earth. The republicans dont know what integrity or decency means. America will collapse under trump and while being hilarious, its terrible for the world. But no republican will ever blame trump for it.

Oli is being highly naive if he thinks honesty is something even vaguely important in US politics.

People didn't not vote for the Democrats because of "honesty", Trump lies every time he opens his mouth, the US electorate simply don't care.

What’s with the thumbnail for the video?

wasn;t Panic about Saville? "the leeds side streets that you slip down. provincial towns you jog round"

Put "THE LIMES ARE MAKING YOUR FROGS ZESTY" on a t-shirt and take my money already!

I would normally be dead against someone pardoning a relative who has definitely committed crimes as no one should be above the law.
However, Trump is a very small and petty man and has it in for Biden for beating him in 2020 and will not hesitate to go after Hunter Biden in order to extract his pound of flesh. The result of this will be Hunter Biden either ending up in prison with an extremely disproportionate sentence, killing himself to escape the witch hunt, or getting murdered by one of Trump's deranged followers.

As a father, I would do exactly the same thing to protect my son from such a fate even if it means him not facing justice for his crimes and even if it wrecks my own reputation.

To those saying that this opens up the path for Trump to do similar, he was going to anyway. Yes this does wreck the Democrats' ability to argue against it but arguments about decorum and ethics are not going to work anyway as his supporters will just see the Libs crying and be overjoyed all while Trump shafts them at every opportunity.

More Smiths chat, please 🙏

"Ava Santina - In Queer Media" made me wheeze

What?

A pardon doesn’t remove the conviction, it just relieves him from being sentenced. His conviction stands.

But you have to consider the why. Hunter Biden would have been murdered in prison for who his father is.

Ava said people in England aren’t above the law 😂😂😂

The allegations that Mark Oaten paid rent boys to defecate on him (never proven) certainly didn't do his career any good.

Need a whole episode on dominic cummings, so i can form an opinion - please and thank you.

Nutbag is such a Shropshire/Staffordshire/Herefordshire phrase. 😂 👍

How Ava was speaking about Hunter Biden was a bit strange. why was she being so harsh on him and parrotting the lines that its deserved that he spends years in jail for a crime which has been documented as a minor punishment if you are a normal private citizen without the name Biden. i've been to prison in the uk for smoking weed, this shit is less than that and i definitely didn't deserve prison.

edit: plus a trans joke and a moan over Ed Davies trying to give more exposure for carers.

who shit in your cornflakes today Ava?

Rich criminals in the UK rarely face the same ‘justice’ that the poor do.

omg my Nan prays to saint Anthony too

Boris Johnson tried to have his father knighted but It seems Sunak declined. Was Sunak actually one of the better PMs we’ve had for a long time? Better as in having more integrity

Im sick of our politicians being bought by Americans and Israelis and our country being bent to suit them.

What does Ava mean by New York elite avoiding jail? Of course money can help with influence and good lawyers but I’d say America has a better record that the UK at going after rich criminals. A recent one being Sam Bankman-Fried

holy shit, both sides are the same, one guy rapes women and attempts a coup, the other guys kid said he didn't do drugs when he got a gun and didn't claim taxes. they are both complete criminals? wtf are you guys talking about, wake the f up. they are not even close to the same when it comes to integrity. fo

Mark Oaten MP enters the chat....

If Kamala won would he have held off but with trump being able to nominate a MAGA into attorney general position maybe he felt he had to
The fact that trump now doesn't get a sentence for any of his crimes because he won the presidency is also fucking ridiculous
Wrong on all counts

Talking of Panic by The Smiths, have you seen that theory that it's actually about Saville? Listen to the lyrics with that in mind and it's hard not to see it...

Feel like compare keir Starmer clothes to Boris Johnson free holidays, refurbishment of flat etc, and other Tory sleazy is to ignore all nuance

Biden is not aware he's pardoned his son....

Panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham and I wonder to myself...

"Poor Hunter Biden" - My god the man can not only actually afford to be a crack addict, he gets off scot free for it

I'm all here for the Zesty queer media <3

Bit disappointing from Ava with that cheap shot

If one of the cabinet comes out as a furry, it's all over.

"two lumps please
you're the bees knees but so am I"

(probs favourite Smiths lyric)

the problem with the clothes is people can't count. £1000s free clothes is completely insignificant compared to giving your mates £10M's in COVID contracts! by 4 orders of magnitude!!!

IS THAT A PRODUCTION MIC? 👀

What's with the lighting? Ed looks like a ghost.

In counterpoint to Ava's point that Ed Davey should be more serious. I present BoJo appearing repeatedly on HIGNFY as guest host to be mocked by Ian Hislop and Paul Merton while a Tory MP. Didn't hurt him.

Oh great, nice little transphobic dig there from Ava. How droll

Ask and panic both great. Still ill is my favorite

Al Fayad?

She said: "Eh, I know and you cannot sing!"
I said: "That's nothing, you should hear me play piano!"

When is big bird going back to sesame Street. ?

Amazing trio of heavyweight working class pundits

In Catholic mythology, St Jude is the patron saint of lost causes. St Anthony of Padua, not Antony, is the patron saint lost things.

Its quite simple (andyes, i realise it is also very much un simple but:...)

If you have a non-misdemeanor conviction, you cannot stand for public office. If you are convicted of any crime (including a misdemeanor) while in office, you must resign immediately.

Any gifts given to you in the course of your time in office must immedately be declared and handed over to a department responsible for these gifts. That department will then either donate or auction off the gifts to cahrities or general public. The proceeds will go into the save the children fund.

Codify it, ratify it, public floggings for those who flout the law.

Everytime I check in it all seems a bit uni student in the uni bar level... maybe that's what they mean to do...
Can only get away with that for so long as they "mature"...
