In my experience if a government says something will be simple and will solve a lot of problems, it won't be simple and it won't solve any problems.

The grubby bunfight between the Tories and Reform over the support of an ultra-right wing loon who has barely spent a day in the UK is one of the more vile features of politics today.

Of course Musk will love the attention.
WTAF!! The Tory party has completely sold its soul.
Conservative shadow business minister Andrew Griffith has urged Elon Musk to take another look at the Tories before donating to Reform UK, highlighting his party’s low-tax and anti-woke credentials

Time person of the year should be Gisèle Pelicot. Not a royal, a billionaire or a crook, but a human being.
Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been shortlisted for Time person of the year.

A reminder of Time's person of the year in 1938.

You are not “a bit” on the spectrum.

You are either on it or not.

You are not “sometimes” on the spectrum.

You are either on it or not.

Johnson’s glib attitude towards autism is typical of his glib attitude towards life. People died as a result.

Is Lee Anderson pretending to be a stupid, ignorant, boorish bigot or is he genuinely a stupid, ignorant, boorish bigot?

Any episode of Top of the Pops featuring Ant and Dec singing is going to be worse than any other episode of Top of the Pops in existence.

Masterchef used to be a cosy anodyne telly programme until they decided to liven it up by getting the presenters to shout at the contestants. Who could have guessed the shouty guy would turn out to be a total shit?

Are you arguing with transphobic bigots on Twitter at 1am, Paul?

Why, yes I am. Yes, indeed.

Again?

Yes.

This is a good reason to delete your Twitter, isn't it, Paul.

Possibly.

Are you changing anyone's mind?

No.

So why are you still on Twitter?

I don't know.

Just delete.

Ok.

This is true. Musk knows he can never get his money back on Twitter so he's turned it into a loss-leader for ultra-right wing politics.
