I saw the New Year's episode, and it ranged from "unremarkable but fine" to "actually the precise opposite of funny". Worst was one of the guests, whose name I've forgotten, saying that Greta Thunberg, as a sixteen year old, should only be interested in two things - "drinking Lambrini and getting fingered". Spoilered because it's just not a mental image I wanted either.

Thanks for these, fascinating documentaries. I'm very surprised the government worked so hard to block them being aired since the subject matter is interesting but not really a revelation.

I just went to the corner shop before the storm rolls in. I said "gently caress it" and went out in my already-on girl clothes rather than changing to boy clothes as I always have before. This is the FIRST TIME I've been out in girl clothes.

I was crossing the street when a couple walking their dog crossed from the other side. The dog was dawdling and the woman goes "Cross! Cross, cross!" and the dog did but then spotted me and came up to investigate and the woman goes "No carry on, she doesn't want ya!" (This was a lie the dog was v. adorable but).

Oh, poppycock! Female bandits?

It's a shame Thornberry is knocked out. I always really liked watching her being interviewed, although a surprising number of people really seem to object to the "loud, boisterous, confident and visible woman" part of the deal. Apparently she's been travelling to all the CLP's up and down the country in person rather than sending proxies like the others, so sounds like she really went for it.

It's funny how a photo of a van basically ensured that she'd never be Labour party leader. Caroline Flint's opening shot across the bow just acted as a reminder of the inevitable smear campaign that would follow if she won, and the 'Lady Nugee' remarks by Johnson and chums seem to have stuck, and cemented a view that she's out of touch and doesn't care. Why the gently caress that apparently matters to voters when it's a Labour MP and yet they'll happily vote for Etonians left right and centre will forever irritate me.

What happened to the libel case?


This is a lovely heartwarming story to kick off the Saturday. I'm so happy for you. :) I hadn't actually realised that you'd never ventured outside in girl clothes before, so extra congratulations! Now that you've smashed it and stepped over the threshold for the first time, I hope each subsequent time becomes a little easier.

We've almost never actually used it, we just threaten to use it as early as possible in the process to strangle stuff at birth. This also helps with the narrative that we have no influence in how Europe makes its decisions, of course.

It's going to be Corbyn continued whoever takes the Labour leadership unless that person will take the party back as far right as Blair did. And now they've seen that they can use the anti-Semitism stick and get away with it, they're going to hold it over the head of every Labour leader as blackmail.

I'm fairly sure that's not ok, no. They can refuse to open a (non-basic) account for 'commercial reasons' (ie anything they feel like) as long as they're not openly discriminatory. They don't have to give a reason either.

They often require you to provide your own interpreter though.
