we need to bring back the Horrible Histories primary school trick where you describe in detail something done by the nazis, get the audience to agree that it's abhorrent, then reveal that it was actually 'our lads' last week

I actually think it might be interesting to ask some of these flag-shagging freaks to give an account of the First World War as they understand it. Because increasingly it seems to me they don't. 'Lest we forget' has gone from an urgent moral injunction to a smug piety.

At this he became very uncomfortable, I think because he was actually being invited to *think* about the War rather than use it as an excuse for soft, smug 'lest we forget' sentimentality. So he spluttered 'WELL ANYWAY TRUMP WON SO THERE' and slunk off.

I feel like if you had to ban social media for any group of people for their own protection, you should probably start with people over 60.

Nothing for exacerbating your impostor syndrome about being the personality hire than any type of written conversation with lawyers.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I say this as a professional AND as a very occasional viewer of live tv: it is WILD to me that the Beeb are putting their only two appointment-to-view shows that might attract millennials and Gen Z up against each other tomorrow night.
