Let's see how many people will invite you to "shut up!" 😳

"a ghost town"... A GHOST TOWN for fuck sake!
How can you not be overwhelmed by existential dread by the thought of this "place" being frequented by fewer than 40M people?!

so dull

Ok, then. So how would you overreact? How would you make a scene?

You too are flat, mate! (In the picture)

Sorry, I can't read any of that: it's not in blue ink

So it was purely to signal submission... desperate veneration even?

They should be reprimanded and sanctioned! That stuff is 'poisonous' for the training of the dedicated LLMs which are going to replace them.

If by "British comedy movies" you mean "written by authors operating in the UK and funded by British money" then the much larger size of the US industry should be taken into account.
And do not trust your memory...

I have to say that what you just wrote is utterly offensive, despicable even!
'Kinder' is a brand of Ferrero, it has nothing to do with Nestlé.

The Daily Mail hasn't caught up with Ireland being an independent republic

And thank you for making the piece accessible to everybody.
You write really good stuff, you know?

In relation to "green belt", please enjoy this beauty:

Fantastic!

You SHOULD eat kiwi fruit from November to May

Do they, at least, parse the most notable planning applications of the week? Bristol Live do that and I find it rather interesting. As is the reporting on restaurants and pubs which close or, sometime, reopen in new shape.

Bloomberg has made a few YouTube videos on the risk of exodus of the wealthy from the UK

Sorry to jump to an only weakly related topic: Christian Klein, SAP CEO, complained about the lack of harmonisation for the EU cloud services market in a Bloomberg interview. Is this sort of integration you are referring to?

What if they have a cheat code?

What items get the 50% steel tariff? Just reels, bars, rods, wire?

Labour council leader Chris Read seems to validate violent protest as an effective way to get the government to change its policy (using a few hotels to host asylum seekers). Isn't this, by definition, 'terrorism'?

The government are behaving cowardly and seem to have lost the ethical plot.

their institutional responsibilities.
The same 'logic' would condone attacking university students when a new residence is built in an area where there is demand for family-suitable dwellings. It would condone attacking workers installing pylons for electricity or building a water reserve.

If those protesters have "legitimate concerns" regarding government policy, the protests should be directed at representatives of the government. If ministers, including HO secretary, abet intimidations of the staff and guests of the hotels, they are using groups of people as 'human shields' for

Thank you!

Want to change? Consider your situation Imagine that a certain person — let’s call them Robin — is walking across a college campus when they pass a doorway and notice a man slumped on the ground. The man coughs and moans as Robin passes.…

That is to say: what you see as a 'pattern' may actually not be such a critical factor and what you can't see, the missing relationships with decent and morally sound people, allowed the increasing share of relationships with nasty cunts

I would not discount the relevance of context: it's possible that a share of the relationships/interactions with other people, the ones who would reject/argue against the racist and xenophobic attitude, have become rarefied while the relevance of deliberately racist individuals/group has grown.

Fantastic job! Thank you and thanks to Michael Fry, Sean Burke, Ciara Knight and Carl Kinsella.
Were there sketches which had a single author or were all of them, to some extent, collaborations?

During to run-up to the benefit's reform vote, if I remember correctly, 'senior labour sources' made disparaging comments about MPs resisting such piece of legislation. They sounded like rating MPs as sort of 0h contracts workers, powerless and replaceable. What's Starmer's concept of PLP?
