I love London so much. So much.
Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?
Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Weeping with joy as I am given the A Lady Should Watch Her Waistline Salad instead of the pizza I ordered, because I know that no Trans girls will be allowed to run a jumble sale with the Girl Guides, and this makes my life as a woman so much better somehow

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

Lovely lovely snooker all week, on the free-to-air BBC. And you know who put snooker on our tellies, because he wanted to take full advantage of transmissions in colour, thus turning an obscure sport into must-watch TV? The brilliant controller of BBC2 in the late 60s, David Attenborough. 👑

As Christmas draws near, I can confirm that one very good gift would be my excellent and award-winning memoir, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died, which is much, much funnier than its title makes it sound.
Here's a little taste, featuring the joys of Christmas with ten siblings.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

As a teacher in Glasgow, that statistic of 1in3 is absolutely bollocks. I teach in a secondary school with 1000+ young people and at least 90% have English as their first language. Reform are lying bastards!

It’s also pretty vital to understanding average life expectancy in the past. People are really fond of incorrectly claiming adults didn’t live past 35, because they don’t understand deaths of children were pulling the average down, and those who made it to adulthood lived as long as we do today.

If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

I wonder how many crimes trans people ever committed at Women's Institute meetings. I wonder if it was in fact, "none at all." I'd rather suspect, actually, that it was none at all. So sad we have 99 problems and this is where people pour their energy in to. Build more houses, you miserable fucks.
