Other than the FT, which does actual useful analysis in the Adam Smith sense that half of the audience are free market ghouls briefly looking up from eating their kin like that painting of Saturn but they too actually want to know what's going on, I'm glad that the rest are going down the shitter.

To cosplay other nations,
He remains an Englishman!

I was just thinking about that this morning (there was an ad on facebook for it). If I had done such an egregious example of racism in the past I would simply not set myself up as The Racism Expert and start lecturing people about racism.

I've said it ITT before but if anybody wants to know what he's really like, watch the season of Taskmaster with him in. It's *very* enlightening about what a stupid dipshit he is.

His basic approach to the show seems to be "Hmm, I'm a smart person, the thing I think of first should be a really good idea". Then he does that thing, and it fails horribly.

He's one of those people where he probably is actually capable of coming up with smart ideas about things but instead he has too much trust in his instincts so doesn't actually bother to engage his brain. It's functionally no different from being very stupid, except that these people are generally more able to *appear* clever in some contexts or situations, to some people.

When my wife and I were watching through Taskmaster and I saw that he was on the next season we were going to watch, I thought "I'm not sure I want to watch it with that prick in", but I'm glad I did. It was actually a good season and Baddiel was shown up throughout as the total moron that he is.

Just thinking about this - I wonder if he made the mistake of thinking he could reproduce that AI art in real life.

Tbh the difference between them is the same as the difference between the wonderful art work I create in my head and what actually appears if I try to manifest it in real life.

(But yeah I know he has a history with other scams).

It's completely normal to have unannounced surprise visits by ex leaders having one-to-one private discussions with the PM. The timing of the visit occurring just before the expected slaughter of Rafah by the IOF is entirely coincidental, and so what if we let them use our military bases, bombs and expertise?

First go here:

https://stopmydebt.co.uk/


One of my brothers (not Tory Boy) declared bankruptcy (not because he was robbed but because he was a profligate purchaser of expensive musical equipment & had 2 ex wives & a brood of kids to support). After 3-4 years he started getting sent invitations to apply for credit cards again so didn't do any serious long term damage (but I Am Not A Lawyer Or An Accountant).

ed: Note: Before being declared bankrupt there is an upfront cost payable of £680. This is payable in instalments although your application will not be processed until the full fee is paid. Some of the other options on the stopmydebt site might fit better, do their questionnaire.

ed2: I didn't clock it was business bankruptcy (possibly depending how you are structured) so if it is, go here: https://www.gov.uk/browse/business/funding-debt
