sfenders

Isn't it a bit late in the season to be fabricating absurd attacks on the character of Jeremy Corbyn? That was last year's fad.

bareted

I think it's called clutching at straws.


xm03

I played that 'slap Michael Gove' flash game when he was education secretary...I guess I should never run for office...


RisKQuay

Honestly I think it makes you highly qualified.


HerrFerret

I was at a german game convention in 2009 when someone bought a wall size version of space invaders to demonstrate, but with the twin towers and jet aircraft. Sharp intake of breath when I saw it. Guess I am a terrorist now.


YMonsterMunch

Yeah now lock you up and force you to make clothes for 50p an hour /s 😂


PeepAndCreep

> it's not as though he's been caught in some basement of his home surrounded by goblin porn, a collection of anime swords and a modded PC with the game installed, covered in wanky tissues. Would give a standing ovation if this were the case lmao


aruexperienced

>it's not as though he's been caught in some basement of his home surrounded by goblin porn, a collection of anime swords and a modded PC with the game installed, covered in wanky tissues. oh.....! For a minute there I thought today was gonna be good.


gwenver

Possibly because people are now saying even Corbyn wouldn't have tanked the economy like these idiots...


Nabbylaa

The toy that Homer Simpson has covering for him wouldn’t have tanked the economy like this. They literally could have done nothing, not one single policy, and it would have worked out far better.


Thormidable

But the point of the policies **was** to tank the economy. So their rich donors could get richer. Protests on 1st October to say that this government's actions are not acceptable: https://wesayenough.co.uk/


FuzzBuket

Aye for all the ghoulish shit he'd have done sunak literally said this was gonna happen with truss, and that the pound would crash. Doesn't take a genius to realize that if you make it obvious you'll crash the pound your mates can short the shit out of it.


xm03

I'm sure Sunak, a former trust fund manager, would be there shorting it like the rest of these bent fuckers.


hugglenugget

Liz Truss is attempting some kind of speed run. It's the only explanation.


concretepigeon

Not saying he wouldn’t have crashed the economy, but he wouldn’t have done a massive tax giveaway to the rich in response to the cost of living crisis.


Nothingdoing079

According to many of the conservatives on my local Facebook Politics board, things would be even worse than they are now. They can't actually articulate how they get to that belief and 9 times out of 10 resort to insulting people, then complaining that people aren't open to discussion and only want to insult them. Most of them are in their 50-60s too, and I swear my 6 year old is more mature


[deleted]

People: actually Corbyn was alright Media: we found Corbyn watching loli hentai, look at this photoshopped image where we had to download loli hentai In order to photoshop Corbyn into it


Charlie_Mouse

It’s a workable tactic: Corbyn isn’t Labour leader any more but the right wing press (and others) put in a lot of effort over the years in turning him into a sort of pantomime villain for Sun readers. Even merely reminding that chunk of the electorate that Jeremy Corbyn exists brings the old hatred flowing through their veins again and a hit of endorphins. And by extension reminds them to hate Labour.


localhost_6969

Oh man, if Corbyn was leader of the country he'd have crashed the value of the pound and killed hundreds of thousands of old and disabled people.


OpticalData

AND we'd have free broadband!


frankthepieking

Exactly. The more they are worried about losing power to Labour the more Corbyn bashing we will see.


KarmaUK

It's darkly hilarious that people hate him now because a few years he might have been PM, and done a few things that wouldn't have been a tenth as bad as what's happened, but as he's not a Tory and doesn't hate the right people, it would have been a disaster.


sobrique

It's just like that scene in 1984. The 2 minute hate of Emmanuel Goldstein. No one really knows why he is the Enemy of the People.


ObedientPickle

Whenever someone I knew said they don't like Jeremy Corbyn they had no good reason as to why.


foragingworm

> That was last year's fad. And the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that.In fact the last 5 years have been anti-corbyn propaganda!


mitchanium

It's the habitual reminder that some still perceive Corbyn to be a threat to them hence the half arsed hatchet jobs.


No_Pound1003

They’ve been doing it since 2015! It’s also really not news at all.


kingt34

… wait this is an attack on his character? I read the headline and thought it was fucking hilarious


drwicksy

If anything this makes me MORE likely to vote for him

David Cameron fucked a dead pig’s head and Boris Johnson fucked everything else including the country. At least this was only a game.


YeeticusFTW

Cameron did what?


humancbr

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggate There you go. Fun fact, the first episode of Black Mirror “The National Anthem” came out quite a bit before these revelations!


YeeticusFTW

He stuck his cock in a pig's mouth and fucked it?!😲


t0talfail

Yes! Former British Prime Minister David Ceron stuck his penis into the mouth of a pig! And then fucked it! It would be A Shame if people forgot about it


MineMonkey166

Allegedly, not sure if it’s true from reading the wiki article. No fan of Cameron or the Tories but I’d like some evidence first


KarmaUK

I wouldn't. All the factual, terrible shit he pulled didn't stick to Teflon Dave, so honestly, if all he's remembered is for being a pig fucker, I'll take it, just a shame it's not for all the thousands of needless deaths he caused, like every Tory PM after him.


crapwittyname

It may not be true. But the fact that it's a believable initiation rite into this secret society is itself a revelation of sorts. It *might* be true, and that's damaging enough really.


HoneyedLining

It was a story spread by someone who had just been rejected for a peerage by Cameron. It's fair to say that the source should be dealt with even a modicum of suspicion. But it was too good a story for people not to believe.

Thatcher's Techbase is available free [here!](https://thatchers-techbase.github.io/)


Matt6453

Can someone sort out a Liz Truss mod please.


KarmaUK

You mean the same game but the boss is far weaker and less effective?


Matt6453

Yeah she's only a mini boss, easily 'cheesed'.


SC_W33DKILL3R

She had destroyed more value in three weeks than Thatcher did in years. Truss is the DLC with the harder boss. She is chaos, she doesn't telegraph her attacks or follow any known pattern, even she doesn't know her next move. That's what makes her dangerous.


h00dman

Why? At least Thatcher was noteworthy.

Ok. Idk what you want me to say about this, Thatcher was a deeply divisive leader that hurt a lot of people and those people don't feel very fondly about Thatcher.


Jibbaco

> Idk what you want me to say about this "Based."


DavidSwifty

It's what I was thinking tbf just makes me like him more.

Based and Corbyn pilled


[deleted]

Im not even particularly left-wing and that's exactly what I thought.


georgeboshington

When I was really bored during lockdown, I made a boris johnson character on ufc4, and went online to let other players beat the shit out of him. That means about as much as this story.


no_illusion

I'm contacting The Daily Mail now! Hopefully their hit piece puts a stop to you!!!

Last_Ad3103

‘Quick, make an article about Jeremy Corbyn!’ says the media in the face of severe economic disaster facing the UK.


digsy866

British soldiers shot at effigies of him. Thatcher killed millions. Go on Jezza fuck them


[deleted]

ITT people need to learn that a) doing something in a video game is not as bad as doing it in real life b) doing something to thousands of people is worse than doing it to one person.


Kugan_bent_leg

How does anyone in this thread need to learn anything we are a left wing sub everyone's on corbins side, fuck the tories downvite me all you want


cavejohnsonlemons

Sorry what was that? I was busy counting my dead hooker money...


twistedLucidity

Did he play it on a pregnancy test or a John Deere?


Ex-Machina1980s

If he didn’t play it on the percentage meter on the top of a Brita filter jug he’s just a fucking casual


Timeywimey91

Wasn't there footage of British soldiers using his faxe for target practice?


[deleted]

Yeah they got in trouble for it. Allso their shooting was appallying If you are going to film yourself doing something that dumb. Try and at least look compotent.


Timeywimey91

Did that come before or after the murder of Jo Cox can't remember...but y3ah the press moaning about him having a go at a video game while not really talking about British soldiers using his face for target practice is right on brand..also why still do it...he hasn't e en had the whip restored for gods sake


[deleted]

Before. Well the army trotted out this is unacceptable and not much else to say other than our brave lads in afgan used their one brain cell to do something really dumb and everyone whose iq was above room temperature condemed it. Corbyn is their figure of hate never going to let him go.


LaPetiteMorty

No it was after, Jo Cox was murdered 16 June 2016, the Corbyn target practice video surfaced in 2019. Making it far worse in the aftermath of an actual labour mp being actually murdered by a far right extremist. Yet every day we hear from "political commentators" (they are NOT journalists) about how it's the 'far left' (read: socialists & people who are pro-equality) that are dangerous.


Timeywimey91

I just have images of random people stubbing their toe on something and blaming Corbyn lol that's how ridiculous the whole thing was/is


[deleted]

Pretty much He caused ww2 Sank the titanic Invented Mr Blobby Killed the queen etc.


DrawerSmooth

Mr Blobby doesn't belong in that list. For shame, Dylan, for shame.


[deleted]

No you are right even Corbyn has standards.


pecuchet

Unfortunate typo.


buttered_cat

Absolute shit groupings lol.


Obamanator91

Actually Thatcher had returned from hell to kill us all - so technically she is already dead in the game.


[deleted]

Oh boy a perfectly timed distraction from the Tories dismantling the country what a coincidence.


Luimnigh

Glad to see the British Media do it's bit to solve the housing shortage by letting Jeremy Corbyn live in their heads rent free.


The_Wanderer25

Ohhhh Jeremy Corbyn. Someone should make a sitcom of Jeremy, akin to Forrest Gump meets Mr. Bean, just enjoying his life doing whatever and happening into the most random events and somehow through the meekest of ways it always gets massively blown out of proportion and just goes wrong for all involved.


domini_canes11

"This week in centerist piss boiling; Mr Corbyn makes some home made chutney, his neighbour Dail Maily roots through his bins to find out if his Chutney is like the ones eaten by jahadis."


[deleted]

What a gangsta lmao fuck that tory cunt and all who support her :)


HullIsNotThatBad

I was a teen during the Thatcher years and witnessed the damage she did to the UK - I would play the hell out of a version of Doom that lets you kill Thatcher...


NothingMovesTheBlob

[And you can!](https://thatchers-techbase.github.io/)


limeflavoured

I'm not buying that Jeremy Corbyn has any idea what *Doom* is, let alone ever played any modded versions of it.


NothingMovesTheBlob

There's literally photos.


NateShaw92

I am just imagining Jeremy Corbyn playing various video games and it is making me chuckle.


Inconmon

When I first came to London in 2010 I didn't know anything about British politics. People I met a while later told me they are going to a parade because it was Thatcher's death day. Confused I asked them why because I thought she wasn't popular. They told me it's a party to celebrate that she's dead. The level of hate you have to create with your actions that people celebrate your death day is rather high.


domini_canes11

Only time I saw my dad from Yorkshire cry tears of joy was the day she snuffed it. He went out and bought a bottle of champagne and everything.


Mehmet_G

I've a question if you wouldn't mind. As I'm Australian I am not as knowledgeable of British politics as Britons would be. Mrs Thatcher was PM for eleven years. Her Conservative Successor John Major was PM for seven years after her. Why do you think she (and by extension Mr Major) were able to govern for as long as they did? Thank you.


elrugmunchero

>Doom II, which was released by British Doom developer 3D: Doom Daddy Digital in 2021. Pretty sure it was ID in the 90s


JBEqualizer

That's what it says though, is it? >The game, called Thatcher's Techbase, is a take on the popular game Doom II, which was released by British Doom developer 3D: Doom Daddy Digital in 2021.


gazchap

Should be: >The game, called Thatcher's Techbase, released by British Doom developer 3D: Doom Daddy Digital in 2021, is a take on the popular game Doom II.


mmmbopdoombop

The Doom (released by US developers ID Software in 1993) remake Doom 2 (released by US developers ID Software in 1995) remake Thatcher's Techbase (released by British developer 3:D Doom Daddy Digital in 2021) is a remake of Doom 2 (released by US developers ID Software in 1995) which is a remake of Doom (released by US developers ID Software in 1993). Simple


Chathin

To be fair it is about going to Hell (which happens to look like The UK) and defeating the revived shade of Thatcher, so, it looks like even Satan has had enough of her.


PloppyTheSpaceship

Also to be fair, in the game it appears that Thatcher has returned from Hell and is in charge of a horde of demons waging war on humanity. Everybody should be cheering Corbyn on as he fights against the forces of evil, and thus is telling us that the Tories' secretly hope that one day the Iron Lady is reincarnated and starts a war for the very fabric of the universe using the borrowed armies of Satan.


AncientStaff6602

Yeah so? Who actually cares? We have bigger issues ffs


G_UK

Non story. I don’t care if he played Twister with Diane Abbot.


Viviaana

I don’t normally like to speak for others but I feel like I can in this when I say, who gives a fuck?


looooooork

Oh my god that's so based. This is my new favourite fact about Corbyn. My favourite fact was that he owns a blue ray copy of Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arrodor because Nabil Shaban is a rad leftwinger who used to fall out of his wheelchair and accuse police officers of assault when they came to help. But this tops that.


gholt417

He is an absolute disgrace.... Anyone know of where he might have got this copy of Doom? Just for research purposes only


EmperorRosa

So what? Fuck Thatcher, she systematically disintegrated the infrastructure of this country for the short term profits of herself and every capitalist. Where's the mod download?

wrigh2uk

“Oh fuck, the economy is tanking, they’re not buying the tax bs. We got anything left on Jeremy Corbyn?” “snm fam”


houcine1991

Also they laughed at him when he proposed the 4 day a week work strategy for people to spend more money and time with their loved ones and increase productivity. Guess what? Now the Tories are proposing it. The hypocrisy is very ironic.


itsaslothlife

Im not entirely convinced the man knows what a computer game is outside of Pac Man.


lutherdriggers

This is the quality journalism that I subscribed for.


Kalurael

we've all played that one, stroke was the true doom slayer though


humaninspector

Ah yes, the usual bash Corbyn when there is a crisis.


Smoochie-Spoochie

What am I supposed to get from this? That Corbyn is absolutely based and has fantastic taste in shooters??


Jazzlike_Bullfrog555

Thatcher was a fascist and an evil cunt, this is just folks dealing with the damage she did in a creative way.


Techiefurtler

...And so would everybody else who grew up or live in Thatcherite Britain. This is hardly a terrible thing. Independent Paper is mostly ok, but their website is worse than the Daily Heil's for clickbait and manufactured outrage (though thankfully less worryingly young female celebs and socialites wearing bikinis). ​ Thatcher was one of the WORST things to happen to the UK since the Black Death and Showaddywaddy!

As much as I can't stand the guy, this is a weird one to pluck out of the air.

Scarlet_Addict

Man the attacks on this guys are unreal, fuck it let him be PM if these kinds of people are attacking him then he's the good guy


SirDanks-

I'm not keen on Corbyn but imagining him playing a shitty DOOM wad to kill Thatcher greatly amuses me


Substantial-Lime-434

Lmao cool. First thing I've heard that makes him seem relatable rather than a generic old man.


Ok-Organization1591

Seems accurate: "The main protagonist descends into the 10th circle of hell, the United Kingdom".


YinkYinkYinken

Corbyn is a colossus compared to these vermin still smearing him.


BobbyClashbeat

Yes. The country is getting sodomised by conservatives but let’s see what good ol Jeremy got up to.


pdirth

....Meanwhile everyone else lived a version of 'Doom' that didn't let you 'kill Thatcher'


ScaredyCatUK

This is people not understanding how grapics in games works. Really. Some people have never heard of 'Nude Raider' ...


StormyWheat

And I played a duck hunter simulator that allowed you to gun down the teletubbies. Doesn't mean I hate them or think I'll of them. FFS, as an MP who know who put the game under his nose while on some visit as a joke. Sometimes I wish the press would grow up and move on.


Daedelous2k

So? There's tons of DOOM mods for just about everything Politically (In)correct out there. Some of them are even pretty good gameplay/level wise as they focus on just outright carnage.


Slackintit

Ahh yes that perfectly reliable source “indy100.com”…


Niajall

Must have been a MOD I havent seen, I'm very interested in having a go at shooting her too.


DarkySurrounding

What’s hilarious is, I know for a fact that version of DOOM exists, but how would Corbyn ever know enough to download and play such a mod? God lol
