Yeah there’s a number of questions

1) were they really hired to talk to children? Because from what I can tell they just turn up places to shock people
2) why was the response by Redbridge labour so awful? Who the gently caress says ‘Johnny come latelys’?
3) if this is a setup were the weirdos in on it or just useful idiots?

I mean yeah either they had nothing to do with whatever the council funded, or some dude who had the costume anyway thought it would be a nice bit of grift and a laugh when someone went around looking to hire "actors with colorful mascots children would like."

Either way it's a huge wind-up so a polite clap of approval to him.

Yeh there is no “owning” of anyone if it involves getting your erect penis out in front of small children, no matter if it’s a plastic penis or real.

You've done well, kiddo.
As someone who really enjoyed the football, wanted England to win and honestly thinks that Italy should have got at least 1 red card if the referee wasn't an obvious plant, I think England should just be banned from the World Cup, the scenes yesterday were gross and are testament to the disgusting nationalism being fostered by the fascists in charge of the country.

God I was so relieved with the result. I can only imagine how insufferable the media would be, and how many times I’d have to hear that loving song, if england had won.

And even sweeter that it was on penalties lol

Now instead we get traditional newspaper hate campaign against the england team, even though they actually did well to get that far and generally seem nice.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."


The NHS is going to have about 5 months of winter pressure levels of admissions and it's going to be absolutely savage even if there's not an actual collapse in ability.

They're all very much changing their tune though - the roadmap isn't irreversible anymore, things are going to be monitored into next year.

We do, but not in common usage outside the writings of former journalist Boris Johnson.

A few words in fairly common usage have a racist history.

A bugger (someone who commits buggery, the act of sodomy) is derived from Bulgaria, and describes the perceived sexual practices of the Eastern Orthodox church.

Hooligan is usually reserved for English soccer fans these days. It's derived from the common at the time Irish surname, Houlihan. It was a slur used as part of the very successful campaign to smear Irish immigrant workers as violent drunks who were coming to England to work longer hours for less pay to take everyone's job.

I think he can hear you, Ray.
Andrew Laurence is a weird one. He's deleted his Twitter after some "Black people can't take penalties" comment and his upcoming shows started getting cancelled.

There was a time when he was fairly buzzed about and people didn't have enough good things to say about him. Then he broke up with a girlfriend and tried hard to sanitise his act and go for the Michael McIntyre crowd, but when that failed he turned to rants on Facebook and has been a lovely person ever since

not really, feeling gutted to have lost is eclipsed by the immense fun of going out and watching games with your friends and strangers. It’s been a great tournament for England fans even without the win.

i wouldn't use the word racist, no. playful chauvinism on things that foundationally do not matter is the relatively benign kind of nationalism, but it metastasizes uncannily quickly
