I think that Boris was expecting No to win and deliberately supported Yes in order to ride that wave of disappointed anger to a party convention win afterwards.

Of course he'll still probably win now, but it will make winning a general election a lot harder afterwards.

Especially as Cameron appears to have dropped the mike on his way out and is showing no signs of actually following through on Brexit. Boris - if you're in power, keen to start this? No?

I do like how he's apparently slipped 'Fat oval office' in on the bottom right of the guys back. Or the side of his gut, whatever.

He did a great job of illustrating Coraline, as we're talking about childrens' books.

I love how Mac can't even avoid getting a bit of classism in there - the broken down cars, the pram in the snow and the bottles just inside the door.


^ I think we should keep Mac. He's loving awful, but helps remind us of the kind of commentators (and readers) out there - retreating into a bubble is never a good thing.

The gently caress is the R factor meant to be?

Broadly speaking it’s the number of people a single infected person infects.
So r=1 means everyone who is infected infects 1 other. R=0.5 they infect on average 1 person between 2; so it dies out. R=2 and each person infects 2 others and you have exponential growth. Coronavirus is between 2 & 3, so we need to lower the average by, for example, staying at home so each infected person on average infects less than 1 person.

Anyone know what Matt is on about this time?

There’s been a few articles about Christmas stuff appearing in the shops, and 8 crackers presumably means more than 6 people, and Matt is not a good writer so has decided that’s the joke. Even though Christmas is months away. :shrug:

Has Matt just reused an old cartoon? You’d think if he’d made even his usual poo poo effort it would have the torturer wearing a face mask or something. Absolutely nothing to do with the tag line at all.

It does feel like it. Even on twitter he's just constantly ranting about being cancelled and not invited to awards because of his stance on COVID. And the guy's only 34 - I'd always assumed he was at least in his 60s.

He burns it in his back yard while people have their washing out and he loudly rambles about how the dustbin men would come into your yard and they'd collect the bin and it was a proper metal bin and they'd sling it over their shoulder not like these days where you have to do it all yourself and there's wheels, which are unnatural.

Not like in the old days! Proper dustbin men, sling it over their shoulders and wouldn't file for workers comp, they'd do your dishes and even give the missus a good seeing to if you weren't in and that was how we liked it! Nothing like these softie bin-men these days, won't even take it if it has some reccccyclable plastic in it. Honestly, these days.
