KC3 has his knockers (titter ye not) but he's been voted 2 years running the best king we've got.

Other kings would be relaxing at 76, but Charles works tirelessly to ensure his feckless subjects have a full belly.

Gawd bless yer, guvnor, and long may you sponge off of us!

The name Maliphant jumped out at me and I looked it up, apparently it derives from the French, mal enfant, or naughty child. So now I'm picturing a herd of maliphants...

ABOLISH THE MONARCHY
The British Monarchy made its vast wealth
by being the largest UK investor in slavery
and the slave trade - which treated human beings as commodities to be abused, raped, bought and sold

How little has changed ...

I just watched the first five minutes and I'm hooked.
Definitely on my watchlist.

PS – are you muscling in on Susie Dent's territory?

I really enjoy your podcast with your mate, Jemma.

As far as the name goes, 'The Trawl' I suppose I can take it or leave it.

Whereas, 'That Awful Podcast'! Absolutely brilliant, trust me, it will double your listeners.

“What about the fact that Trump was found guilty in a civil court for sexual abuse…was that not enough for you to withdraw your support?”

Now listen to the response from Andrea Jenkyns of the Reform Party…

There are always good recommendations for additional music in your playlists. Clever old algorithms aren't they?

Is the further embarrassment about him parading in his underpants, or the $50,000 bank transfer from Jeffrey Epstein (the one that doesn't appear in the MPs register of interests at the time, also the one he has no recollection of)?

Genius! It's like I've seen the future :-)

I've been using Spotify for ages, I keep meaning to spring clean my account.

I've got dozens of playlists with names like
- My playlist
- My new playlist
- My favourite playlist
- My best playlist
- My latest best playlist

Must make more of an effort 🤔

The advantages of improving trade links with China v the USA are many.

Not least, fewer language issues 🤔

STOP KILLING US! #ICE off our streets! This is not a war zone, this is not “in theater,” this is our country. Get off our streets. Paid assassins, guns for #trump, losers, get the fűck away from us. OSTRACIZE ICE! #Epstein

The private good/public bad religion has been massively discredited over several decades. Believe it if you like, it's a free country.

Here's another quote, "that's just the way it is, some things will never change".

You can call it spite to want change & you can insist it's for the best to maintain a VIP lane to better universities and the top jobs for people like Johnson and Farage. You're obviously welcome to your opinion.

Private and state education are unrelated. Well that's bloody convenient 🤭
January 29, 2026 at 5:48 PM
Not charging VAT on private ed makes it more affordable for a privileged few. It's OK if you don't want to call that a subsidy.

So your point is, if state education is underfunded, what a shame. But let's not spoil things for a small number of elites. One day maybe there will be trickledown 😹
