It's such Pro Wrestling. Everyone else is still so mad that kayfabe was broken long after everyone knows it's fake and Boris is out there going "You know we can just give our dad's Knighthoods? lol, it's all fake, let's just have fun with it" and giving no heed to psychology or protecting the business.

What I'm saying is Boris Johnson is the Young Buck's of British Politics.

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

So instead of councils buying a house and then just maintaining it, they'll rent it out for the purpose of council houses so that there's an extra layer of bullshit to go through for everyone, and more importantly, money get funnelled from the govt into private companies instead of the council owning the houses and spending less money. This is your brain on neoliberlism.

Still fighting the battle against sex education I see.

2 girls in my high school first year got pregnant, they would have been around 13 or pushing 14 at most. But sure let's not talk to kids about the thing that some are definitely already doing.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice – stability and strong schools with me, or chaos in the toilets with Ed Miliband.

Is there a single high profile person in this country who is considered a Big Smarty who isn't actually a complete drooling moron (and usually a fascist as well)? I honestly can't think of a single person in this country who gets accolades for their intelligence or competence who I respect in any way whatsoever.

I know that by its very nature capitalism selects for people who aren't smart enough to realise what a tremendous clusterfuck the system is, but it seems to be particularly bad here.

EDIT actually capitalism also selects for people who are smart enough to realise what a tremendous clusterfuck the system is, but who actively benefit from the system being a clusterfuck. Maybe those are the people who are missing in this country

Unfathomable horrors were visited upon me in school and I turned out perfectly normal.

I'm just saying that everyone who comes back from the school toilets wants to be a dinosaur, so let's ban toilets.

This is the best lawyering I've seen in a long time

To be fair this happens all the loving time (people mess up and miss out a “not” because they’re redrafting the sentence under time pressure and miss it when rereading) and among lawyers we usually just construe what was meant from context. Very unfortunate miscommunication or GB news were being cunts on purpose.

But further to my previous point about the tories having discovered that nothing matters and you can do or say anything, the very fact that Keith got through the interview and didn't answer the question could be viewed as a success. It shouldn't, but I bet he sees it that way and I bet it won't influence anyone either way.

You can screenshot it and then identify content in your photo app on all newer phones, but that's a time consuming fiddle given that it's already on twitter.

And QR codes are older than twitter's built in link shortener

And barcodes are older than hyperlinks

Wait, maybe it's deliberate. Innovation means time consuming fiddles pretending to be something new.

Essentially, it's a test of the media's largesse. He made it clear that it's an awkward question that he doesn't want to talk about it, and so whether they choose to dig into it like hungry spaniels with an entire roast chicken is entirely down to how invested they are in monstering him are this particular moment in time.

The really spicy one for Labour is when the press decide it’s time to start noticing Mandelson was a big friend of Epstein.

Will be very surprised if much comes of it at all. Keith is the media's anointed one, and if Gray is a superspook then it points to complete establishment complicity.

It's far simpler than that; he uses twitter on the big computer because he's a massive nerd, so not once did it cross his mind that people wouldn't just scan the screen.
