It's been obviously an ever growing pile of horseshit without a pony under it for a couple of years, but it's interesting that the wheels have only really started to come off once Starmer hitched his wagon to it. He's got the reverse Midas touch.

We have talked about this before, and just because it's factually correct that pressure cookers are much safer these days, that doesn't make it true

They're much less explodey nowadays and electric blankets aren't deathtraps either, but those are just facts. They're not going to shift these things I know to be true.

I can see there is no pocket on his nice shirt but somehow I am also convinced he has a pocket protector and several pens and propelling pencils

Just call her Ash Regan, because she's a dunce with an inflated sense of her own political importance who has stormed off in a sulk after losing a leadership race, and when you say "Ash Regan" that's already what people think

Where's the parmesan? Even if a tomato-based sauce is too exotic for their sensibilities, shouldn't there be, you know, parm?

Nobody outside of Scotland gives a solitary shit about Ash Regan. Barely anyone within Scotland gives a shit about Ash Regan, hence the below. I realise this.

But it's still funny.

I'm always here for hate for Christopher Columbus, whose brilliant idea was "we've known since 200BC the diameter of the globe, but what if it's, like, smaller" and was saved from dying in the trackless ocean by bumping into an unexpected continent, which he continued to insist was 'the Indies'"
