Does Peter Kyle think that the guy at the march who said that Starmer should be assassinated has β€˜legitimate concerns’..?

And I was thinking of the Monty Python cheese sketch - it's runnier than you'd like it!

I remember Michael Palin or John Cheese saying that Life of Brian did not criticize religion, just organised religion

Fair political coverage! You only have four MPs yet Nigel Farage gets way more coverage than Ed Davey with 72 MPs and more coverage than the independants with 21 and the SNP with 9!

And of course there are American cities that are known worldwide so they don't need a country, for example New York, LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, etc

Bristol Connecticut has a population of only 6200. If the USA wants to name the state as well as the town that's fine, but major cities well known in the rest of the world don't need it

It's not a comment on AI, but I dislike the American habit of giving the country after the placename, it is not Bristol, England it's just Bristol the 8th largest city in the UK according to Wikipedia! In the same way it is not London, England or Paris, France!

A perfect demonstration of the benefits of slipstreaming, Van Aert and Yates were pulling along 4 riders from the breakaway at one point

Farage doesn't even know where Clacton is so the chances of him knowing where Yorkshire are remote!

58% is impressive, but are you sure there isn't a school in Cambridgeshire that beats that!
