Given that Scrooge manages, on Christmas Day, to purchase a turkey, drinks, several fruit baskets, cheese, and multiple presents, I'm starting to think that Bob Cratchitt's claim that no other businesses would be open on Christmas Day was a bit rich tbh.

JFK was shot by convicted murderer and LBJ crony Malcolm “Mac” Wallace to prevent the VP from being investigated for a corn-subsidy scam via which he’d defrauded the US of millions of dollars.

It figures you’d like this. I saw it 20+ years ago on BBC4 and remain convinced there’s an absolutely brilliant Watergate comedy to be made which plays it *completely straight*. “Wait, you don’t think he’s gone to… actually *kill* him?”

This man is now an MP.
