Back in 2016, I envisioned watching pensioners from Spain trudging across the Gatwick tarmac clutching all of their worldly possessions in the same way those dejected souls were, when Idi Amin kicked them out.

History will repeat itself.

Gosh, Trump doesn’t like hurty words.

An opinion like that will get you sued for $1Bn.

Hope you have a better lawyer than the Andrew, formerly known as Prince.

So glad that Nigel Haw Haw has superglued himself to a child rapist.

I really can't imagine what might go wrong...

Is there an absolute limit to how many racists that GBeebies can offer asylum to, or do they have to set up a second channel, or even regional channels?

Well, I suppose it has more integrity than blowing Venezuelan fishing boats out of the water.

Trying to appease the far right is a mistake Cameron made.

Put it before a jury. Even if held in Clacton, it would be difficult to find 12 jurors who would side with him.

That is a thing of beauty.

It also reminded me of the Animal House initiation ceremony.

When does Musk buy a volcanic island with a retracting lake, rocket ships, and a monorail?

It troubles me.

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Haw Haw got terribly upset about Barack Obama commenting on British Politics.

Bush was a terrible president but simply impossible to imagine a Republican saying this about Pelosi or anyone else today.

It probably is. The number of women who I knew who found themselves alone in a carriage with one described the experience as frightening.

I think 'flashing' makes it sound a bit Benny Hill when it's more serious. Remember when they used to refer to 'child porn' instead of 'photos of child abuse'.

Replacing final-salary pensioned career officers (who have been retired early), and replacing them with G4S/Serco staff on defined contribution pensions, was never going to result in a better quality of prison officer. Or prison service.

David Lammy commits the crime of NOT virtue-signalling.

Was it a 2025 or 2026 poppy Lammy had forgotten to put on?

It’s also really useful for overcoming the search algorithm on Amazon which returns every widget that DON’T need based on who is paying the most to promote their widgets.

e.g., tell it to find an E12 incandescent bulb, and it will ignore all of the promoted LED offerings.
