Watching the Olympics opening parade, and I'm looking at the girls leading the teams out, and they look ace. They've got these huge wide floor length silver puffa coats and sunglasses, and I want that look for me

And we should build a national monument to Boris Johnson. It should be a pier. A broken down, rotten pier plonked on the beach, with crumbling decking.
"This bridge is a monument to Boris Johnson. It was meant to reach the moon, but this is as far as his talent and ability would stretch."

The entire American Republican party is damned in Donald Trump's behaviour.
Trump has been babied and coddled so much in his grotesque that he no longer feels any constraint in what he can do.
Trump is the Republican id brought to life. He is what they have chosen him to be

If you'll always get sick behaviour, what's the answer? Maybe the best you can ever aim for is a culture where sick behaviour actually matters.

There was another London ornament that was rotting away, wasn't worth repairing, and was totally unfit for modern use. So they tore it down.
And that was Wembley stadium. Now it's gone, no one cares, but the whining and bitching about it at the time.

Or even Las Vegas. Let the Mafia have it and turn it into a casino. Get America to buy all our junk
You could even have a new one for free. You could dismantle the old one and sell it to Disneyland, they'd pay a billion for it
At first I thought this table was a joke. But no, the proposals to restore the Houses of Parliament really are costed at a min of £8.4b and to take 19 yrs; max, £19.4b and 84 yrs. A normal country would go: that's absurd. Let's build a new one for a billion.
