I'm very dishy – which is to say, I'm round and shallow, and covered in bits of food.

Why is there no 'New Milton Keynes, Illinois'? Or ‘New Telford Oakengates, Texas’? Our place names not good enough for them now?

I'm an atheist now, but in my previous incarnation I believed any old shit.

Hey, don't be in a rush for Trump to die!

Be in a rush for him to *start* dying.

We live in the world Vladimir Putin designed for us all. Brexit is his. Trump is his.

The suffering people of the world should be allowed to physically tear the little shitter into tiny scraps, and feed the pieces to unfortunate dogs.

The pixels never lie. Also a generic 'Tangy' flavour. The degeneration of our society is not imaginary.

Donald Trump thirsting for a Nobel Peace Prize, like Quasimodo pining for Esmerelda. Except Esmerelda was a billion times more likely to go down on Quasimodo than that foul lump of foetid evil is to ever in any sense merit a Nobel prize.

I wish the world would just return to some vague semblance of dull stability and sustainability, so I can redivert my energy into less essential things, like campaigning to bring back flavoured Twiglets. Especially Curry flavour, whose memory doesn't even survive as a small jpeg of the packet.

Alexei Sayle saying "They lie and they lie and they lie and they lie and they lie and they lie..." should be your earworm for the whole rest of your time on Earth. It certainly is for me. Don't ever be taken in by the lies again. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

This scum needs to be stopped.

On May 6 2010 the world went wrong. We have done nothing to deserve Nigel Farage’s foul existence. Something must be done. And soon.

Just realised that Donald Trump has already outlived my wonderful Dad by at least three months. Don’t talk to me about this timeline.

Why do we even have a King Edward VII Hospital, anyway? The fat sod's been dead for over a century, nobody can help him now.

Sorry, but there is far, FAR too much policing of trousers in parenting for my liking. Policing my own is tough enough.

It would be lovely if someone could just say to Netanyahu "Benny, TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT!" – and we could all just watch the penny drop. He'd feel so foolish. Someone really should have told him before now.

Glad to see The Guardian has my back here. Five stars from them is the clearest guarantee of absolute bullshit any cultural product could ever require. They actively encourage you to let this vapid WANK blind you to the state of this shitty world. #TheTraitors

'War in Gaza'
'Honesty at BBC News'

Enjoy the News: or as I like to call it, ‘The Living People Who Deserve To Die And The Dying People Who Deserve To Live Show’.

Someone needs to explain to Germany that supporting today’s genocidal Israelis doesn’t actually make their slaughter of millions of jews 80 years ago, you know, cool.

‪I mean, why doesn’t anyone make it clear that Traitors is literally just ‘Murder In The Dark’ in a Big Brother environment? Everything else is just obnoxious and derivative set-dressing. If The Traitors is the best bread & circus we’re offered, no wonder bloody revolution feels so close.‬

Why is everyone pretending that The Traitors isn’t shit? Is it some kind of meta joke?
