Yeah, it’s the mouse element that’s the strange bit, though. Like, I’d imagine that more people nowadays would associate that piece of music with Mickey Mouse than identifying it or being familiar with it separate from its connection to Fantasia.

I do wonder, when he was composing it in 1897, whether Dukas knew The Sorcerer’s Apprentice would be best known as that music that plays whilst a magic mouse brings some brooms to life.

Yes, I know Sandie isn’t the victim here. Very much the point of my post.

It is noteworthy how much transphobes have stopped using the claim of “institutional capture” since they finally completed their goals of capturing every institution.

No, but, you see, when Rosie Duffield says that she needs security to attend the Labour conference as a result of her transphobic bigotry, this is a free speech issue. When Hannah Spencer is harassed in the street by transphobes, that is simply them using their free speech. It’s not complicated.

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

I do kind of wonder just how sick an individual you have to be to publicly harass a trans person out of their job, not because of their own actions or behaviour, but because you’re a massive bigot, and then attempt to play this kind of PR card. You did this, Sandie. Fucking own it, you vile shit.

Wes Streeting isn’t doing this for the Reform vote he’s doing it because he’s a deeply revolting right-wing piece of shit and questions should be asked about the role of his religion in it if we want to be real

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Honestly can’t think of anything that sums up how fucking spineless The Last Leg has become than Vittorio Angelone delivering some actual biting satire to Penny Mordaunt’s face, ruining her reputation laundering, and Adam Hills quickly moving on because he has a silly game to play.

I'm looking forward to SNL UK. A platform for new writers? And a sketch show in this time where no channel funds sketch shows? You guys should be eating this up! New talent for once! A show which isn't another celeb travel vlog! AND LIVE TV!!

#IsItOK to ask why The Last Leg repeatedly platform Tories, like Penny Mordaunt and Sayeeda Warsi, in a way that simply launders their reputation, despite everything their party has done towards disabled people over the years?

If anything, the Democrats are the ones using the Epstein Files as a distraction from the very real global harm Trump’s warmongering is causing right now, including murdered civilians, which is actually pretty fucking grim of them.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

She does understand that having a more open border policy would mean nobody would have to use a small boat, because they’d be able to enter via more safe and legal routes, right? Right? Like, she’s not actually this stupid, or doesn’t think the electorate are stupid enough to not know this, right?

Ant & Dec have recently relaunched the Saturday Night Takeaway YouTube channel as Belta Box, and in doing so have replaced all of the old thumbnails featuring pictures from the video with AI generated images. WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE?

It’s funny, I haven’t changed my stances since supporting the Labour Party 2017 and 2019 manifestos, and yet, now, in the eyes of Keir Starmer, I’m a left-wing extremist. You’re talking nonsense.
