Up. Face like a child’s papier-mâché balloon head, dusted in vermicelli. Hair like it was crimped by a Wyoming waffle iron. Voice like a stag party of drunk SAT-NAVs tying the SAT-NAV groom-to-be to a cargo ship and turning off his GPS. Morning.

Up.
Face like Infantino after making 2000 ‘number not found’ calls.
Hair like the ragged tawes of an overused ‘70s schoolteacher’s belt.
Voice like the one in Pete Hegseth’s hidden earpiece screaming “Stop fucking talking … YES/NO answers, remember!?”

Sad news about Frank Gehry. Met him in Meier’s office in New York in the late 90s. Magnetic, charismatic personality. And a creative genius, obviously.

Up. Face like a plasterer’s radio. Hair like the Barshaw Bridge FC pitch, mid-January. Voice like Frankenstein being chased from his zero hours contract job as a lollipop man by red-faced, pitchfork-wielding English nationalists because he sounds ‘a bit foreign’. Morning.

A soulless, heartless fuckwit. Imagine this balloon governing what the public can watch. Never has the phrase ‘politics is showbusiness for ugly-hearted people’ had a more apt example.

The BBC being held to a completely different standard than other media outlets by that paragon of honesty and integrity, Kelvin McKenzie.
