The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

Found a lot of old articles about G*il P*rter being very upset on an episode of Buzzcocks after which lots of men suggested a) putting up with it, b) sacking her agent (this was Jupitus’s idea), c) asking for it because she did some pics. I always hated that show.

With yellow so bright, and a bold black tie,
A cap of black as I flit nearby.
From branch to feeder, I hop and play,
A garden favourite on a winter's day.
Who am I?

Due to a series of events, it's December again. And for the fifth year, I'm going to do an advent calendar of carols. Sub-category: Ones I particularly like. Something old, something new, nothing cheeky, nothing blue. I'll link to them all in this thread and do a YouTube playlist as well.
