Well marbled.
You've got to start hiding people before they get sent to the camps, because if you wait until afterwards you're just covering up the bodies.

But it's very typical of this administration that the first phrase they reach for is one that was previously used by the Nazis.

The whole Green Card affair left him looking like one of the internationally rich, interested in the UK as nothing more than a shiny thing on his CV before buggering off to California.

Announcing the election in the rain was the first time I really thought 'One of Us'.

Does it counts as one use of Theorem cried 'Fuck' and the whole host of the Figure in with one voice reply 'Fucuuucckkkk!'

Don't forget the impact of magazines like White Dwarf & Dragon. Their letters pages had a lot of discussion about potatoes and problem players, and much terrible advice. The internet did a huge amount to improve the quality of the discussion (for once).

How would Andrew cope with the digressions comparing the casting of child actors for the new HP series to Arsene's reliance on project youth in the early Emirates days?

So Kier Starmer is a less prestigious interview than @chefreactions.bsky.social? Harsh but fair.

Any Arsenal-supporting celebs you would want to interview? Anne Hathaway seems like she'd be entertaining.
November 20, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Oh wow.

If it's not prying, was that before or after the election?

And obviously I'd have loved to listen to it, but fair play.

I take it he's not in the line up for Arsecast Extra the next time James is on holiday?
November 20, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Yeah, but I think Arseblog is a much better interviewer than Robbie.
November 19, 2025 at 1:53 PM
I always thought he should have done an interview with someone like Andrew Mangan at Arseblog in the run up to the last election - not about politics at all, but purely about being an Arsenal fan, just to humanise him to the public.

It's probably too late now though.

It's like an Art Nouveau version of Steve Bissette's Swamp Thing.

Lovely work.

I wonder what might have given ministers in the previous government a false sense of confidence and bravado?

Was the damage enough to get them to lay land and die?

And landlords, shareholders, the self-employed, people taking dividends etc.

And while there'd need to be some adjustment for the Self-employed and pensioners, there's a lot of tax left on the table from unearned income.

Calling a tax 'National Insurance' doesn't help. We could cut a lot of unnecessary paperwork by just abolishing NI and raising the basic rate of income tax to compensate.

For video games surely it's Football Manager - I knew a guy who played it at work for six months without getting caught.

Sounds like something Trump would say.

A Trump vs Cthulhu series would have the great tag-line 'That is not dead which can eternal lie.'

The West Bank is the real prize though. The tourism value from controlling Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jerusalem etc without any inconvenient residents around would be huge.

Just think of the dollars that could be made selling replica 'Eye of the Needle Gate's to US Evangelicals.
