There are a few books that have blown my mind with how they are in recent years, @ottoenglish.bsky.social Fake History

And of course yours!

He’s so thick you could stand a spoon up in him

To be fair to Nigel, it’s probably difficult to concentrate on what you’re saying when Nick Ferrari’s massive fat head is jammed up your arse.

I got a pair. Already lost count of the times I’ve been called either Joe 90 (over 60’s) or Harry Hill (under 60’s)

My initial take was that the left gains nothing from this. Trump gains a political martyr and the shifting of the Epstein files off the front pages (not for one second suggesting a conspiracy, more that it was a act of sheer lunacy)

Tell me why I should give a scintilla of credence to the ramblings of an incompetent fool whose ineptitude added £20k of interest payments on to my mortgage.

He looks like the Navigator’s Head from “The Secret of Monkey Island”

It’s a master stroke. Trump the egomaniac will see it as confirmation of his star power that they all want to see him and simultaneously protects Z from another orchestrated mauling. Putin won’t be happy as he knows they’ll turn Trump’s head (because he’s an easily manipulated moron)

Rolling news coverage and exponentially increased output has left no time for nuance or depth. Twitter quotes have been the rescue of journos forced to produce reams of copy as they can turn to that instead of speaking to real people. Even though it’s a cesspit of bots and arseholes.

The News Agents have been just as guilty as other news media in their coverage of reform and it’s because the only way to produce daily output is to pick the low hanging fruit of whatever the newspapers decide is important, so the right wing decides the discussion points despite falling sales.

Excellent stuff! I agree with everything except “I am very bad at nearly every activity which is coded as male” don’t put yourself down, you’re phenomenal at swearing which I always had down as a traditionally male skill (until I met my other half, she’s a c-word savant)

I feel uncomfortable listening to her constantly defending the actions of the Israeli government and military in their conduct of this “war” (massacre) I usually end up switching off

Glorious!

He had an aneurysm when Rayner called people scum, because they were acting like scum. Now he’s fawning over a demented wannabe king calling people scum for reporting facts. What a dickhead.
