Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.
Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan.
The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”
Why is no-one in any position of power IN OUR BLOODY COUNTRY calling Farage out like this?

One of the many reasons I could never get into Ted Lasso was that if you spend any time following non-League the real material is just so much weirder. We all live in a Streatham Rovers world.

Anyone who votes for them is scum.
This season, until Oct 5th, #watfordfc's home games were all at 3pm on a Saturday.
Since then, we've only had one at that time (4th Jan).
The next one will be August at the earliest.
Or perhaps we’ll never play one again.

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

A tortoiseshell cat with white bits sitting on the back of a chair, its eyes wide in apparent horror. It is reaching out with one paw, and is reminiscent of Alan Rickman at the end of Die Hard
As it’s the season to debate whether *that film* is a Christmas movie, here’s a seasonal treat: a cat that looks like it’s falling from Nakatomi Plaza

Brydon Carse already has 25 wickets since debuting in Multan – Anderson never took more than 25 Test wickets in a single winter, Broad's most productive winter was taking 22 in 17/18.
The replies. A trove for the ages of the most appalling, most completely unjustifiable and infuriating, sub-humourous, eye-rollable quasi-comedy composed by the human mind.
I am avidly taking notes.

Brydon Carse is the first English seamer to take 10 in a match overseas since Ryan Sidebottom in Hamilton in 2008.
It's something that neither Anderson nor Broad achieved in their careers.
Coventry owner Doug King was questioned by senior figures at the club about hiring Frank Lampard and was encouraged to look elsewhere.

Wonderful creativity from the kids at Christmas! 🎄
I'm not saying Kemi Badenoch is a serial liar, but she seems like the kind of person who would claim to be eating Rice Krispies while munching her way through a bowl of cornflakes.
Half-timbered house, outside which stand mannequins of a man and woman in 17th-century clothing. Christmas lights are hung in the windows and along the roofline.
Oliver Cromwell's house festooned with Christmas lights. The man would be spinning in his grave, if he hadn't already been exhumed and dismembered.
