Well, I’ve been made redundant. The literal mum and dad company I worked for, and loved working for, has had so little business recently that they’ve had to let go of a quarter of their staff.

The problem with the President of the United States is not that he used the word “retard” in a tweet. The problem is that 77.3 million people voted for him knowing well what he was, is, and would be. No President of any party or religion or region or indeed intellect has been less fit for a vote.
