Man you want to participate in something and then someone gives an answer so objectively correct that there’s no point adding onto it

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]

…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: β€˜Dubai Is Brilliant’.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which are…?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

β€œI Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm.

It would have been so easy, and probably expected, for Radcliffe to become a monster, or just another washed up and abandonded child star, but he really seems like one of the best people on the planet.

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

Gregg's should have a microwave so you can warm your sausage roll up. IKEA do it for warming baby food and I always use it to bring my meatballs back up to temperature. So it's not insurmountable.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Most of my life watching T2 was on the DVD on a CRT.

But thanks to the power of blu ray I can truly appreciate how many times the Pepsi logo actually shows up.

Four out of the six most recent US presidents were born in the 1940s. At what point do we let the younger generations have a go? No wonder today's young are disillusioned. The white-knuckled grip on the reins of power by old men is anathema to progress.

Such a shame how John Cleese suddenly dropped dead right after his speech at Graham Chapman's memorial service in 1990. With his passionate commitment to social democratic politics, European integration, and human rights, and his self-deprecating wit, he could have been a powerful voice had he lived

This reminds me of when that girl yeeted a milkshake on Nigel Farage and all the hardest most tough least offended big boys in Britain were going "WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN ACID!? AND NEXT TIME IT MIGHT BE!" like when people say weed is a gateway drug to heroin.

Fella on Politics Live wondering why Andrew was arrested and not invited for an interview has seemingly forgotten how badly the last interview he gave went, and he’s probably keen not to rush back
