Is David trying to say Jewish people are underrepresented in film? Because... Buddy, c'mon.

What a great example you found there, Mr Blackface. I'm sure I can't find any prominent examples of why you're wrong...oh...

What the gently caress is your problem? Wanting to go on holiday is a perfectly normal and acceptable desire, especially after one has been locked down on and off for a year. It represents freedom and is probably one of the high points of most people’s year. WTF does that have to do with Syria? I want to go on holiday (but I’m not going to), and I am very aware of Syria.

Go for another walk. A longer one.

The extreme holliday culture is ultrabad for the planet and is not very respectable imo

On the off chance that the letter turns out to be "we think you might be a suspect for a crime, please get in touch and arrange a time to be interviewed", this is an excellent way to get yourself arrested, probably in front of everyone and at the most inconvenient time possible, when you don't need to be.

Dont talk to the police

Utterly demented. Lol at the Antisemitism Tsar joining in for a bit of cyber bullying

I won’t watch anything with Eddie Marsan any more cos he’s such a bully and a oval office on Twitter, hope that doesn’t make me an antisemite too

I can't watch Rachel Riley any more for the same reason

Reputable solicitors don't exist to help people get away with crimes. If you need the other sort of solicitor, you probably know how to find them; if you don't, then you shouldn't play big boy games until you figure it out.

Voter ID is something that Kieth should be able to stridently oppose the government on as loudly as possible, for both moral reasons and for the good of the Labour party.

Will he manage this?

e; oh I forgot the bit where the german government had a very loud conversation about whether it works for vulnerable people, entirely based on apparently not knowing how sample sizes work

I checked on the UK gov website a few weeks ago and it literally said they didn't have data to say it worked on over 65s.

What they do have is a sample just large enough to hope that the vaccine doesn't immediately kill any seniors who take it

I will say that Norway had to reconsidering their vaccination program after quite a few very old people died just after taking it. This was one of the other vaccines, not AZ. Apparently they had to stop giving the vaccines to people who were very frail because, as many people have reported in the covid thread in D&D, it can make you quite ill for a few days and these people just could not survive that.

Freud destroyed hundreds of eels (at least 129) looking for their dicks and when he couldn't find their eel dicks (because he was looking at glass eels, which don't have dicks yet) he turned to psychoanalysis instead.

So that's where the concept of a freudian slip comes from?
