I wrote a thing about those places:

BREAKING: Rise in wet people linked to more people standing in rain.

Stunning work from the BBC here.

Next week: increase in headaches linked to people hitting themselves with frying pans.

Give the reporter a Pulitzer.

There is no longer any point in asking this man a question, unless one's purpose is merely to catalogue the specific form today's untruth will take.

It would be a destination I'd choose in a few years, but enough folk in the UK a few years back voted to make that much harder, alas.

Indeed, I don't think I've ever seen the word 'smothered' on a Spanish menu for a start. :-)

I agree, it is indeed a nice place that I visit often.

The man who spent a decade making British public life unpleasant and dangerous has opinions about unpleasant and dangerous platforms.

One notes he remains on both.

"Trump lied today" is a sentence that's true on any day you choose to say it.

I once held a book upside down for three weeks. Read the whole thing. Thought it was experimental French fiction.

Turned out it was a Haynes manual for a Ford Cortina.

Peaceful protest is highly overrated.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Highly recommended.

A man who has committed adultery, fraud and sexual assault is now threatening the Pope whilst explaining what Jesus would have wanted.

One almost regrets being an atheist, this is precisely the sort of thing one would pray to be spared.

Sewage pollutes Teignmouth beach for more than two weeks The Environment Agency confirms a leak from a sewer at Gales Hill Beach in Teignmouth.

There's nowhere safe to swim in England, literally not one fucking river and no beaches.

The simplest logic questions befuddle it.
An 8 year old would answer the same questions with ease.

"I know what a dog is but why are we calling it a dog? Who came up with that? Terrible name. I'd have gone with land fish."

From Snake to Serpent: How Big Tech Slithered Into Your Children's Bedrooms Nobody playing Snake on a Nokia in 1997 imagined this. Which is rather the point.

The need to elaborate is absent but highly amusing to me.

To be clear, I voted for his party, not particularly for him however.

As am I, Nicky.

The position requires an enthusiasm for compromise that I find constitutionally impossible. Though given the current incumbent, the bar has rarely been lower.

One has waited some considerable time for Starmer to locate his spine.

Having apparently found it, one hopes he remembers where he left it tomorrow morning.

Has he forgotten how to cook?

Maybe he doesn't want to be.
I wouldn't.

The Telegraph, alarmed that a party currently holding four parliamentary seats might one day govern Britain and immediately summon 4.4 million migrants, has helpfully commissioned a graph.

One admires the precision of the hysteria.

Just say you're a doctor.
He won't be able to tell.

A man who paid hush money to a pornographer now poses as the Resurrection.

One's only regret is that Hieronymus Bosch isn't alive to do it proper justice.
