I think my favourite thing about yesterdays election was that because LBC couldn't discuss party politics because it was polling day, they talked about how the actor Martin Freeman (of Hobbit and Sherlock fame) is no longer vegetarian for two hours.

Not quite the red wave I was expecting, but I guess the results are still young. Sir Haircut has already declared this a sweeping victory so ho-hum.

Coketastic Mr Fox's upskirt tweet is on the graun's front page though, alongside pointing out he's currently £180,000 in the hole from last week's ruling. So that's funny.

but I don’t scream and I don’t shout
And I feel so proud

Die Satan!
If I worked for Boeing and knew about extensive safety issues I would simply keep my mouth shut (and take the train).

Nice Metro op-ed from one of Fox's litigants earlier this week, incidentally: https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/30/laurence-fox-owes-90-000-this-im-going-spend-money-20745995/

quote:

Even though I know that peddling outrage clearly pays in some cases, I hope our victory shows that the cost-benefit ratio is changing.

Because despite Laurence Fox trending for at least two days, a screenshot posted over the weekend showed his monetised Twitter earnings amounted to just a couple of hundred quid a month.

At that rate, it will take over 30 years to cover his £180k damages order, and just a couple centuries more for the estimated seven-figure legal costs.

Speaking of money, I know you’re wondering what I’m going to do with the £90k. There were three original claimants in our case against Laurence Fox – myself, Simon Blake and Nicola Thorp – so we will be spitting the total £180k damages three ways despite only two of us being awarded them.

I will give the bulk of my sum to charity, focusing on issues I know are close to Laurence’s heart – trans rights, racial equity, refugee advocacy and Palestinian solidarity to name a few.

And I will save a bit for myself – I fancy a bidet with a fox head spout – so that Laurence’s money can wash my vindicated rear end.

Well if it was as simple as just the thing staying shut once you shut it Boeing wouldn't be having all these problems.

I have 3 flights on Boeing planes this month and I’m very excited about the prospect of my impending fiery death.

So long as it's not the 737 MAX you'll probably be alright. Hmmmm, is your flight on Ryanair? Hope you have taken out life insurance!

Nothing to see here, it's completely normal to suddenly fall sick and die at the age of 45.

Look on the bright side though. Your chances of survival are higher than if you were a Boeing whistleblower at least.

787s operated by Etihad who have a pretty spotless record for planes dropping out of the sky, which just means they’re long overdue one and I am rolling those dice.
