Identity of infamous street artist Banksy 'uncovered' following investigation Graffiti artist Banksy's identity has long been the subject of speculation after his artworks popped up on the walls of buildings across the UK decades ago

In *2018* I had a bit in my show about my mother revealing who Banksy was, because she knew HIS mum: 'oh yes, Mrs Gunningham's boy'. Here, a major news agency claims to have 'uncovered' this data nearly a decade after Margaret Watson broke it.

Why isn't anyone quietly replacing Trump's shoes overnight with larger ones? Every night, they grow half a size. He can't understand it. Asks his entourage. No no, they say, gesturing at their gaping heel space and blister plasters. That's how everyone's wearing them now. You're so fashionable.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Yeah. Forgotten how it goes, apart from the chorus, which is predictable yet upsetting.

Snowball Bunny, from the Secret Life Of Pets franchise, looking confused and slightly angry, as if internally screaming 'WTF?!' The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping", he said. "It is open for transit should Iran not do that"

In 2031 you might be talking about him, in the actual pub. But unless your dog joins in, it's not a conversation.
