I feel like you have to actually be the true boojie class for that, the toadies and flunkies and henchpeople have to delude themselves too much to be able to do so.

I mean I'm not saying I'd be surprised if a recording of that came out, it's just my hunch!

They don't do this intentionally - it's just how they believe journalism and impartiality is done. And if they didn't have those warped beliefs about the Tories, they wouldn't be in their jobs to begin with.

Dunno, but my imagination of a BBC Politics social has Kuenssberg shovelling coke up her nose, while Robinson tries to work out which intern he's going to turn into a mannequin in his shed.
Gary O'Donoghue isn't invited, because they just sent him to do a report from Ulaan Baator, or something

I would be interested to see anything written about proving that one way or another :)

I'm basing this on hearing from a professor who worked with a dyslexic student of theirs to find the best way to present their projector slides for the student. They found that Comic Sans in grey on a post-it note yellow background was the easiest for the student to read. Non-dyslexic students also found that they could easily read the slides in reverse, which is interesting.

I am aware of Tekton, and there are other specialised fonts for dyslexic people as well. They would presumably be more appropriate than Comic Sans due to being specifically designed for the job. I was just having a go at the interminable whingeing about Comic Sans ;)

I wasn't suggesting that we adopt it for everything. That would be, as you say, rear end poo poo for clowns :D

Not sure about the fonts but I have bolded the important bit as an unfortunate with dyslexia*. I have any number of pastel acetates I have to put over white sheets.

*My form is the eye-colour one, there are a few forms so its not a simple issue. I am supposed to wear ~*~special~*~ tinted glasses, but gently caress that, I don't want to look like a nonce.

The Tories will make a push on law and order today as they pledge that adults (over 21) who commit the premeditated murder of a child (under 16) will be given tougher sentences of life without parole. The current rules require the murder to be of multiple children or to be sexually or sadistically motivated.
Under that, looks like the entirety of the Tory party should be locked up. They fit all the criteria.

And also the guardian editor seems to have been asleep on the job

Good morning, Rarity, I hope your feeling better, you sassy lass. It's not long until 14.30. If not, please allow me to favour you with a joke:

" Ratjaculation was doing one of his periodic wildlife surveys in the Bristol wetlands. He spotted a particularly happy looking duck duck, skipping around on its daft feet.
'Hello, duck. Why are you so happy?'
' Well, Rattie, I'm a duck, so been in and out of puddles all day, so lifes pretty good'
Then he noticed a duck a bit further on, quacking and smiling through his beak.
' Why are you so happy, my little chum?'
'Oh, Mr Jaculation! As a duck, I've been busy in and out of puddles and life is pretty bloody rad. Smell ya later!'

Then, he noticed a third duck, looking decidedly pissed off.
'Aww ducie, why are you so pissed off?'

'I'm Puddles.'

Mike Gapes won 75.8% last time out. His majority was over 50%. Traditionally the seat has gone Labour to Tory to Labour to Tory since 1945, but since Mike Gapes became MP it became a very strong safe seat.

Of course absolutely less than 5% of the vote will have been for the MP himself. The rest is for Labour. He's going to lose, it's going to be funny

I teach adults with learning difficulties IT and because of this thread I now do all my presentations in comic sans with a yellowish background. It is a lot more readable on presentations where the projector isn't the best and it is more readable from the back of the room.
