It's not as high profile as all the other failings of the last government, but the total collapse of the court system thanks to Chris Grayling is one of the most damning.

"A normal 2-term president" yes that's definitely what was on offer in 2020.

Missing Judge Reinhold might be my most basic millennial trait.

Without my super soaker I am nothing. Without me, my super soaker is nothing.

I think there's a lot of dementia tax revisionism, by people who've chosen to forget that we'd had Dilnot for half a decade by that point.

I blame Justinian.

My son's listening to Let's Dance: "Why on this album, is there so catchy music?" One of life's eternal mysteries, kiddo.

It's a bad take machine these days.

I found a phone card with £20 credit on it and that facilitated my social life for a Summer.

If nothing else, there's so much to mock British culture for, we elected Boris Johnson! We still listen to Oasis! Breaking out the ROFL-copter for beans on toast and warm beer is really leaving money on the table, in satire terms.

"Always on my Grind" Sylvia Plath.

A friend went round to his neighbours’ for Eid last night and apparently the wife slightly panicked about hosting white people because she disappeared for a couple of minutes and came back with half a pint of whisky for him. This, to me, is multiculturalism

Edits are for communists. Scruton didn't get where he got by reading his work twice.

Got to be McG?
