Sad to hear Stanley Baxter has died. Those Birds Eye adverts alone were comic genius

You learn something every day - turns out that in America, instead of saying 'right wing racist grifting gobshite' they say 'comedian'.

Please don't judge me just because I was friends with the traitor Nathan Gill. Instead you can judge me because I described a man charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm as "an important voice for young men".
