Going to be hard for him to have a fair trial, though. The jury is meant to be comprised of your peers, and how many Dickensian street urchins on smack who have swallowed a thesaurus are there in the U.K.? Vanishingly few.

In January 1986, BBC1's Jackanory, for years stuffy and staid, briefly felt like the coolest thing ever when Rik Mayall performed (it's much more than a reading) Roald Dahl's GEORGE'S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE! For me and my mates, this was Event Television, constantly quoted for weeks on end.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I once met Ronnie Corbett and couldn't get over how small he was in real life. When I told him this, he told me to fuck off. I was gutted at the time but with hindsight it was a reasonable response from the little fella.

Brexit was a con.
Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs.
On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

A bit of a no-brainer here - and could (if done right) potentially be extended from Porty to Leith on *existing* infra with minimal disruption. There's a whole train line that could in theory be linked to main trams just off Ocean Drive. A thought.
