Great job, Shanana. Now tell us how RefUK is doing a great job fixing potholes and how flags flying from lampposts really cheer up our streets.

Usually struggle with audiences going utterly bananas all the time on US podcasts’ live shows, but Obama’s welcome here was v moving. Many thanks.

The group has recently joined other far right protesters at Caerphilly and at their regular hatefest at Cardiff Airport, shouting racist and other violent abuse at Afghan families temporarily housed at the airport there - apparently all legal, so police let them carry on.

Always like the term β€˜substance abusers’. Implies there’s a correct way to use a drug, but that some people are doing it really badly.

Universities offering overpriced, poor quality courses?

Does the govt think this will somehow appease RefUKers *and* not horrify reasonable people?

Jonathan’s big tell was when he said to Stephen β€œIf I get banished tonight, look to [whoever it was]”, when he meant to say β€˜murdered’.

He does the thing with the wig and explains the magical transformation from civilian to β€œArbiter of the Law” that happens when a judge pops one on, and then has a big whine based on what they do *as civilians* (or do they only Tweet bewigged?). His panto preamble defeated his whole daft point.

Fun that RefUK is obsessively claiming the PM is obsessed with them, though.

If that’s how you feel, yes.

This latest crop of classicists are quite direct, aren’t they? None of the nuance or lyricism of Graves, Highet, etc. (I blame Mary Beard).

β€œMisreading”?

Hats off for the diplomatic euphemism. By the same token winter in Siberia is β€œa little chilly” and drinking battery acid β€œisn’t entirely healthy”.

Monetising the tragedy is just lazy writing, if you ask me. For a real twist they should have had her call for love, peace, and turning the other cheek.
