To the last, I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart, I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee, Charlie Brown
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die, Charlie Brown.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

So it’s not only cleared its own orbit, it’s going to have a go at clearing all the other ones as well
the pig has left orbit and is currently on a collision course with Mars, bracing for history's most existentially-risky game of snooker. this is an intergalactic farminomenon unlike anything experienced since the Big Bang

To quote Al Murray’s pub landlord, there is no “British Dream”. Because we are awake.
I genuinely have no idea what Fraser Nelson is talking about here. When did we stop people getting "ahead by their own efforts", or start talking about the "British dream"?
