Now hear me out, but I’m just beginning to think it may have been an error to appoint a deranged, narcissistic, psychopathic, criminal, sex offender, reality TV star on the run from justice with dementia to the highest political office in the world. Twice.
SCATTERING half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes over a cut grapefruit half and leaving it overnight in the fridge will make the grapefruit taste of chilli. So don't do it. Robert Canning e-mail

A letter from out of off of the new issue of Viz, accompanied by two (count 'em) pictures of the latest issue. At jaunty angles. And here is the letter. A-hem... "When he got his £80 million recording contract back in 2002, Robbie Williams famously shouted "I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams". I don't know what his 'wildest dreams' entailed, but I'm surprised they involved selling catfood a quarter of a century down the line. Mike Tatham, Dundee'
There's a new issue (Viz 354) in the shops. Sorry no refunds. shop.viz.co.uk/viz354bs
He fundamentally doesn't like Trump, and... that's a *bad* thing..?
You interview with real humanity, shown here and with the many others you've done with women survivors. Paxman-style has its place, but so does empathy. Congratulations.
(You also interviewed me on GMR back in the day, but that's clearly not held you back 😂)
I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?
*Doctor looking at my X-Rays*
Doctor: Ah, this is exactly what I was afraid of.
Me: Oh my God, what?
Doctor: Skeletons.
- I bought my wife an electric guitar for her birthday.
- A fender?
- A bit yeah, she wanted a necklace.

If you're waiting for him to fulfil promises he made... I wouldn't hold your breath
hope he can’t stop scratching it and is forced to wear a dog cone

It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, everyone. There’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer, and it isn’t picked up by other gynaecological screening (such as smear tests). But if you do think it might be a possibility, you can ask your GP for a blood test and/or a scan.
the one consistent thing about Farage is that strategically he has been uncomfortably very successful in pushing for his goals, but tactically he consistently can't help being a twat about either failure or success, and that's always hurt him from being in a position to personal success
There's like 50% of the country who are absolutely despised by the increasingly deranged class of fascists who run everything, have you noticed that?
what exactly is the point of a Labour government
news.sky.com/story/back-m...
Well, no, they’re not just as wrong. The bigger error is not seeing that “trying to win over voters from a party on the opposite end of the spectrum, whose values your core voters oppose” is not same as “chasing voters from party on same side ideologically whose values your core voters like.”
At this stage the only way a progressive politics could work in the UK is if it was prepared to go against the press, but Labour are tied up with the press because of the Mandelson/Labour First bullshit.
This might be the most perfect encapsulation of a Daily Mail front page, big racist splash headline, a focus on globally seismic events only through British tourists, some Royal bullshit
Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to
The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.
But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.
By not reading the Daily Mail?
It's baffling - it was blindingly obvious long ago when looking at Labour's ruling clique that there was nothing there other than spite and factional animus. Anything else anyone saw was the result of wishful thinking - plus possibly disbelief that anyone could truly be that shallow and vicious.
Ok, again, this is what he was hired to do. Attacking the left isn't something the man just came up with yesterday, all by himself. If you don't like that he's like this, why did you all say this stuff was heralding a thousand year centrist Reich just two short years ago?
I do feel like our national responsibility to evacuate UK citizens in the Middle East who went there on purpose to avoid paying UK tax is fairly limited.
"Board of Peace? FIFA Peace Award? Fuck that, there are more Epstein files about to drop"
Yes! John Sparkes is so underrated. Frank Hovis, Siadwell, Barry Welsh... genuine comic genius
