We think it was the rhinoceros, but it’s open to debate.

The test that Trump keeps boasting about acing - “I had to point at an elephant, then it got difficult.” Professionals use it to monitor dementia, substance abuse, Alzheimers, stroke effects, etc.
Where’s that nuclear button, exactly?

Nobody who has watched Gary Neville’s phillipic is actually offended by it.
Quite a few people think there is advantage to be gained by pretending to be offended.
Spot the difference.

Is it possible for a dictator to rule the USA under martial law? I guess we’re about to find out.

Trump has licensed every dickhead in the USA - where there are a lot - to be loud and proud. Having been class chumps for centuries they’re seizing the day. There’s always a knock-on in the Anglozone, and now every UK dawn can bring another prats’ day out. It’ll pass, or we will.

“You still wake up sometimes, don't you, Donald? You wake up in the dark and hear the silence of the generals.”

A key part of Farage’s message is to dress his fetid racism up as something else, something that is at worst justified, and may even be elevated.
Hence his hysterical response to Starmer today. And why it’s vital to continue calling him what he is: a vicious saloon-bar racist.

Please let Trump pick himself in the next US Ryder Cup team. You know he wants to.

On the MAGA knuckledraggers at Ryder Cup, people saying “golf is better than this”, “golf means love and peace”.
In England when I was young, Jews were blackballed by golf clubs. Blacks, Irish and working class didn’t bother to pick up an iron.

MAGA America’s obscene behaviour towards Europeans at the Ryder Cup is a foretaste of the World Cup next summer.

Farage is now comparing paracetamol with thalidomide.
Before you know it, he’ll be insisting that we suffered from EU membership, and don’t want or need any immigrants.
But nobody is stupid enough to vote for that, are they?

Trump announcing his 2016 presidential campaign.

The Isak affair really buggered Newcastle’s pre-season - it’s taken 20% off their early form.

Stop dignifying and normalising the Farage/Robinson rabble with terms like “movement” and “protest”. They’re a purposeless crowd of criminals, misfits and losers temporarily bound together by dumb prejudices. Mostly beyond redemption. So don’t try to redeem them. #fascism101

Love that pretentious prick Elon Musk telling the Brown Shorts in London today to prepare to fight and die. “Er right Elon. Just wanted a piss up, a takeaway and a one-sided race riot actually. Can we put the dying bit on hold?”
