It should be illegal for people's birthdays to be between the 23rd and 27th of December. If you're born on one of those days, your parents should be legally required to choose either 22nd or 28th as your alternate birthday.

My newest hobby is finding lines from The Simpsons that could pass for Morrissey song titles.

Quiet, You Awful Man

Kill Wealthy Dowager

Please Don't Tell Anyone How I Live 

Queen of the Harpies

Hurry, Nanny, Things Are Grim

You Have Selected Regicide 

Cruel Lips, Spiteful Tongue, and Evil Brain 

Like a Certain Uncle Did One Grey December Morn 

Father McGrath, I Thought You Were Dead 

This ls Even More Painful Than It Looks

What the Audience Didn't See Was the Unfunny Aftermath

I Can't Help but Feel Partly Responsible 

Not the Box Factory Again, Seymour 

Far Be It from Me To Gloat at Another's Downfall 

I'd Like to Put This Filth Behind Us 

Past Instances in Which Professed to Like You Were Fraudulent

Sandra, That Was Mean


 It really becomes an addiction.

Stephen Kinnock explains the Dublin agreement where the UK could send asylum seekers back to the first country they stepped into the EU, when we were members of the EU

With Brexit, when we left the EU, we were no longer able to do that

Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down.

The facts show a very different picture.

1.1bn barrels of oil, nearly Β£100bn worth has been discovered in the North Sea.

Aren't you glad Margaret Thatcher sold it and the Β£3tn already removed for just Β£13bn.

Wasn't that such a great deal?

Three neo-Nazis jailed for plotting terror attacks on UK mosques and synagogues Group of β€˜like-minded extremists’ styled themselves after the SS and amassed arsenal of more than 200 weapons

Really odd how GB News, the Daily Mail and Telegraph aren't covering the thwarting of a terrorist plot to attack synagogues in the UK by a group that had amassed a horde of 200 weapons. Wonder what's different about this group?
