Red-faced, outdated, and (once primed) designed to explode on the slightest shock, this thing here is a Gammon.
I hope it's survived hearing about the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

I know @rnib.bsky.social has a strong and very worthwhile campaign to raise awareness of Alt text. I think it's fair to say that @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social has understood the assignment here 👌🤣
THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of scarecrows I have stumbled across during walks in the British countryside over the last fifteen years.

Nationalism is by default unimaginative and paradoxically every example of it is broadly similar to other examples everywhere else in the world.
It's always about flags and chants and xenophobic exceptionalism. The mantra of people who don't have the imagination to actually love where they live.

Was going to tag @dreadships.bsky.social into this, but then realised I can't see a naval ship in this picture at all....

I keep hearing about something called Benson Boone, but refuse to look up who or what this is because I'm happy assuming it's two golden retrievers.

Don't rush to judgement. If someone seems angry and unapproachable, ask yourself whether they could simply have had Le Poisson Steve stuck in their heads for three days.

At this point we can only assume Labour's plan is to make everything as shit as possible so that at some point nearer the election they can undo it all again and everyone will go ahhh, that's better.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow @dreadships.bsky.social when there's any kind of waterborne vessel related debacle occuring. And at all other times too, but especially then 🚢😂
The amazing detail in this story is this lad's neighbour frantically whistling to try and draw the ship's attention to the dangerous local hazard known as [checks notes] Norway.
If it hadn't noticed houses are generally stand on vessels a bit of whistling probably ain't going to do it, fella.

When analysing Boris Johnson’s post-PM journalism, especially in relation to his stance on the EU, you’d do well to remember he’s a honking, morally bankrupt old spunker who’d fart out the theme to ‘Bullseye’ if you paid him & he writes like a boxing glove full of Scrabble tiles.

Enjoying Rob Rinder sitting in for Jeremy Vine on the tellybox this week. More intelligent and empathetic debate, less deliberate provocation. Also note that, like all the best people, he appears to be left handed 👍
