Tin roof…rusted.

Until Thatcher got in, Britain generally took the Arab’s side in things, and we’ve always been friendly with The UAE. Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai, went to school here.

It just seems to be a place where rich Britons with no taste want to live.

I don’t get it. When Britain was top dog we knew that other countries exist, even some we didn’t own.

Now you have the wealth of the knowledge of the Earth at your fingertips, and you get things like this.

Or a “Discover the rest of the world exists.” One.

Oh, you go to one of those stations that has staff in boxes, or visible staff at all.

Fancy.

Never gets old.

He should stop going there, then.

Napoleon looks up wearily, then looks at you.

“This is your fault. I hope you know that.”

I remember saying that if Brian Blessed said he rode a lion to the shop to get the paper every morning, you’d go, it’s unlikely, but it’s Brian, so it’s probably true.

Ozzy was the same.

Has she considered going full Mrs Khrushchev in The Death Of Stalin?

Just don’t end up with someone who thinks like Cromwell.

He was so bloody awful we were happy to take the monarchy back.

Bari Weiss? Sounds Italiano-German to me.

Maybe she’ll have to be deported.

If I was one of these “friends,” I would be contemplating a live style change, maybe becoming a hermit in Laos.

It would be preferable to the painful vengeance that they have coming to them.

Just read the Politics Home article.

What I find amusing is that they had to issue a correction to the article, as they had spelt Victoria Coren’s name incorrectly.

Bloody autocorrect.

Well, they are owned by Waterstones.

I see the provisional wing of Waterstones are at it again.

(Just a joke, lawyers.)

That’s Gen X getting shat on in retirement then, if we get one.

Well, we knew it was going to happen. Even if the Tories don’t get in, whoever else does will have to deal with the costs of an ever increasing retirement aged population, and governments always go for the easy solutions.

She was a hack, I just feel guilty about telling her.

EL James sold millions of books, and Dan Brown destroyed whole forests for his drivel.

Being successful doesn’t mean you’re a good writer.

Which is probably being damaged by having nutters for parents.

Yeah, but fuck ‘em.

Without a sufficiently high inoculation rate, vaccines are just not effective. These selfish whack jobs are endangering every child in the country.

You have to draw a line somewhere, and when it’s public health verses deluded idiots, I’ll go with the former.

I thought she was doing some weird David Bowie cosplay.

I’m starting to think that we should make some vaccinations mandatory.

Is this a dagger I see before me?

(I know it’s Macbeth, but, fitting.)

I still feel a little guilty about calling her a hack at the Cheltenham Festival over thirty years ago.

Slime And Punishment.

We get Canadian writers’ books in the UK too, you know.

Mitchell is a strange beast. His voting record is a strange mixture of extreme conservatism sprinkled with moments of liberalism.

I guess “singular” would be the best way to describe his outlook, a description he’d probably enjoy enormously.

Your average Reform voter is still living in the 1960s when a council job was a job for life.

Now it’s minimum wage and outsourced.

Also Kent is just one example of a council needing a lot more money than its population can be reasonably asked to pay for.

Sorry, most idiot son.

We aren’t letting the Australians off.

America is Britain’s idiot son.
