 Tom Watson, buried up to the neck by whooping Corbyn cultists. He faces his end with stoic dignity. Edit: It has been 402 hours since Twatson last had any food. He's been sucking the dew off a discarded condom every morning, but he's becoming too weak even for that.

Sounds a lot better than draughts, hot wheels, and ludo men pie. e: ^^ Traditional way was to kill a bunch of serfs. Generally someone else's like Sir Bob Geldof did, but modern times require modern methods.

People get knighted for services to the monarchy, or to some other powerful oval office. At best, they get knighted because some powerful oval office wants to benefit from their popularity. All knighthoods are bastards. AKAB.

Reminder that IDS lied about having a degree in his official biography not once but twice (and with different degrees each time), the second time several years after getting caught the first time, all the while being the Tory leader. But it's Corbyn who's the shifty undeducated oik according to the media, ofc.

The sole, singular counterpoint I have is Sir Terry Pratchett, who after being knighted collected meteorites from his garden, and enlisted the help of a smith to forge them into a sword "because a knight really ought to have his own sword"

When Scotland goes independent, Ireland reunifies and the people in Wales decide escaping the EU is more important than escaping the UK, I propose we change the name of the country to Wangland.

Hahaha, gently caress if it’s Ian ‘legitimate concerns of the working class’ Lavery who takes photos with his son blacked up at parties, he may as well get Lisa Nandy as his deputy and push for the English Labour Party. Given how involved he was in planning this election I could only expect good things.

Apparently this year's Honours list was written up when May was still PM, which could be why Farage got nothing. Wouldn't be surprised if he got something next year.

Hey if the lesson Labour wants to take from this election is to be more like the Tories, nobody quite knows how to take money from the poorest and redistribute it to the ruling elite like Lavery does.

Yeah, at least he saw the famine on the news and tried to do something about it, rather than switch channels and watch the footie instead.

In fairness nobody had tested before what happens when you throw £100m into a poverty stricken warzone without asking any questions. Live Aid probably didn't actually make things worse (the war would have continued regardless). Lots of the spending was probably ineffectual because it was spent on the basis that the problem was a natural famine rather than a human-caused one, which was entirely foreseeable. Bob did make Maggie waive VAT on the single as a charitable purpose, setting a precedent that in the long run has probably done the most good to come out of the whole thing?

Farage will get one snuck in next year for ‘services to brexit’ or whatever word is judged appropriate to replace it. Once the direct correlation between him standing aside his candidates and getting a prize from Johnson has faded.
