Something good to put in the ESG report of your accounts.

Always nice to have a second income stream for your cannabis factory.

It's difficult. We probably spotted it in part because of the context. If it's served up by partisan morons on the internet, you're going to be suspicious.

I agree with that but also I don't think VC-M should be chastised for this. It's not her job to vet the script, she's there to deliver it in the funniest manner possible. Given the political output from most celebrities, I don't think giving them editorial control would be a good idea!

They've become worthless. No, before that.

Damply.

Qatar are not particularly popular though. Saudi Arabia will condemn it, but with their fingers crossed behind their back.

Don’t make fun of renowned Dan Brown As the film adaptation of Dan Brown's fourth Robert Langdon novel, Inferno, is released, we present this appreciation of the author by Michael Deacon from 2013.

Perfect opportunity to wheel this out again.

Showing off what a potato could taste like if it wasn't 80% water.

Love a bit of Smash.

I guess he'd struggle to put forward a defence for that.

On what charge?
