My starting point with the tsunami of weird and clearly coordinated conspiracy tweets is what would a foreign adversary's intelligence service want to propagate and then I work outwards from there.

This is so 'core', I'd go as far as saying Starmer has just shortened his tenure as PM.

He's acting like he's in Badenoch's position: in opposition, shattered/fractious party, chasing other parties' votes.... but he's got a huge majority and four more years of government.

Total insanity.

Chaffinches

I’ve heard a few of these recently. I can draw this cartoon for you if you so desire.

“SANDRA, let me see the kids”

I was willing to give Labour 12 months to set course before I started tearing in to them. 12 months is nearly up and my disillusionment is reaching boiling point.

Ernest S. Harbaugh, a Cybertruck owner from Ohio, states that 28 children laughed at his Cybertruck after a minor problem resulted in it being towed on a flatbed.

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Got to be honest, the idea of local entertainers dropping in to the nursing home to cheer us all up of afternoon with punk hits of the 70s is making the assisted dying bill look attractive.

SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Rank hypocrisy from the Green Party is never old news, Mike.

Popeye sits in urgent care with a 4 hour erection and mindlessly opens another can of spinach. Olive Oyl slaps it out of his hand.

Not sure about The Great Man Theory of history. But the Absolutely Dreadful Man Theory is looking more convincing by the day.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

1 [Show an image of a basic pot of TESCO COLESLAW, on a table] VOICE FROM OFF-SCENE: Slaw. 2 SECOND VOICE [pointing a hand at the coleslaw]: Coleslaw. 3 [We pull back to see a YOUNG MAN sat at an interview-style table in a therapy session, with a professional opposite him wearing a lanyard]. YOUNG MAN: Slaw. PROFESSIONAL: No... coleslaw, Peter. And it comes in a...? 4 YOUNG MAN: In a... pot from... Tesco. PROFESSIONAL: Very good. 5 [We are now outside the room this scene is in. On the wall outside the room is a sign reading]: ABDP: American 'BBQ' Deradicalisation Programme [Beneath the sign is a professional looking woman, also wearing a lanyard]: PROFESSIONAL [with concerned, serious face]: The process can take a long time. 6 [We now hear her voiceover, but we are looking at a scene of a male hunched over a laptop in their bedroom]. PROFESSIONAL: Every year we see more and more British men being exposed to this content from America. 7. [We see what's on the screen: a YouTube video about AMERICAN BBQ, with a bearded, thick-glasses, plaid-shirt wearing man holding a big rack of ribs in black-gloved hands]. 8 [Cut to a garden scene: a typical British man is incinerating sausages on his crap little barbecue] PROFESSIONAL V/O: One day they're incinerating sausages like a normal person 9 PROFESSIONAL V/O: The next they re standing in front of a 'smoker' and expecting you to ask them about it. [Same man, same scene, but he is now a heavily bearded, plaid and glasses wearing American BBQ bro, stood in front of a huge smoking cabinet bearing the legend PIT BOSS PRO, and forking a big rack of ribs. A woman is approaching his table tentatively, and politely asks:] WOMAN: What's tha- BBQ BRO: OH IT'S MYSMOKER. 10 BBQ BRO: I USE MESQUITE WOOD CHIPS. [She looks alarmed, confused] 11 BBQ BRO: DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY SMOKE RING [Two ABDP agents, like police officers, have arrived and are lunging for him - one saying]: POLICE OFFICER: Grab his tongs

Talk to your sons

Someone once said to me 'Scarfolk has 100s of 1000s of followers, and then there were the books & merch, TV/film options, etc. You must be rolling in it by now'.
I didn't even make minumum wage. Many years, I didn't even reach personal tax allowance.

Having an abusive father really prepared me for this moment. You stupid babies. It doesn’t have to make sense. There is no secret, guiding self interest. He will burn the house down with you in it. That’s all. That’s the whole thing.

“Nothing is more Badenoch than holding a press conference and then complaining that people are asking you questions.”

Thanks for this insight. I'll spend the rest of the morning pondering my lack of growth mindset.

Paranoid mono-mania is no longer recognised in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - However, you may find it beneficial to discuss with a mental health professional or counsellor.

Let's face it. How often to do you get a genuine opportunity to say 'kleptomaniac philatelist'? I hope you've bought a lottery ticket today Dani.

And many of those are registered as holiday-let businesses, thus avoiding this increase.

It’s just malignant and expends too much time and effort for so little reward *persecuting” these people like the system seems wont to do, so we should just accept them as a natural consequence whilst empowering yadda yadda, is my take. But c’mon, let’s not pretend they don’t exist.

I mean, anyone who lives in any of Britain’s post-industrial areas could probably point out a few people who have backed their way into a life on benefits either as a semi-conscious choice or because previous governments absolutely tore the fucking heart out of the places economically.

One thing that jars with me is how binary the debate on benefits gets. We’ve got everyone on here pretending nobody could ever be swinging the lead, and everyone on the other place pretending everyone is and no space for my “hey, some are, it’s the price we pay for a functioning system, shrug” take

Listening to the Tim Harford radio 4 doc about how children suffered from a lockdown imposed to protect adults, straight after a news bulletin full of 'young people with MH problems need to get back to work to save us all a fortune' is I have to say fairly jarring

It's Mothering Sunday in less than a fortnight. I'll be reading out the names of our #RememberedMums in church on the morning of Sunday March 30th. If you'd like to add your late mother's name, let me know. It can be oddly comforting to know her name will sound out once again. Reposts welcome. ❤️ 👑
