I see that my local councillor has “defected” from Reform to Restore. My area is relatively multi-cultural for this part of Kent, and the Greens weren’t far behind so hopefully this backfires horribly for him.

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

I had to sketch that amazing photo from yesterday, to make sure I never forget it.

I'm not religious these days, but for Lent, I will be giving up Crystal Palace.

Arch Enemy @ Camden Underworld would have been a proper laugh but not for 53 QUID A BLOODY TICKET. £8.50 to see them there in 2002. That'll do me.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Certain powerful Americans now googling to see if British police cells have fans on the ceiling.

I know it's ridiculous to have any hope in this world, but I hope Andrew squeals like a pig and dobs everyone else in it.

I love the first 20 minutes of a big breaking story on here, when we're all drawing cocks and balls on the board before Sir arrives

Big Trevor Francis (RIP) vibes today.

Starmer arranging an emergency press conference for 11am to tell the entire nation to get back to work.

There was an issue of HELLBLAZER from 4-5 years back that was clearly riffing on the alleged noncing by a certain Royal and I'm still shocked the RW gutter press didn't pick up on it, but that's probably because they knew it was likely true so yeah. Fucking brilliant run, tho. Go get.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Arsenal should buy out Brewdog considering they're good at bottling things.

My God this year's been a big steaming pile of absolute fucking shit, hasn't it?

A friend reminds me that Alan Keyes (vs Barack Obama) is the basis of the Crazification Factor, a political theory that 27% of the population is unwaveringly committed/irredeemably insane. Coined by writer Tyrone Finch in discussion with writer John Rogers on his blog Kung Fu Monkey in 2004.

Here:

That's just how bad things are in modern Britain. Even the thieves have no hustle left.

🧵/ With tactical voting ever more common, who do voters back when only two parties have a chance in their seat? Con 31% v Ref 24% Lab 35% v Ref 31% Lab 29% v Con 28% LD 41% v Ref 29% LD 34% v Con 26% LD 29% v Lab 21% LD 26% v Grn 25% Grn 42% v Ref 27% Grn 37% v Con 29% Grn 30% v Lab 20%

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

We're not seeing projected MP numbers much these days either as this is pretty much "Hung parliament" territory.

Year of the Horse? I say thee Neigh.

My colleagues have heard neither the Pancake Song NOR of Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Speechless.

How to make pancakes the british way: Step 1: remember it's pancake day Step 2: work all day because you are a cog in the capitalism nightmare machine Step 3: Too tired to make pancakes Step 4: no pancakes for you

Here it is, your moment of zen.

For some reason the X-Men animated series theme fits perfectly with the Garfield and Friends intro.

holy shit. hell of an analysis

Thunder. Bloody thunder. And now heavy rain and very grey skies. Stupid country.

Influencers Explained #webcomics #comicsky

Oh, Daily Mail, never let history get in the way of a dramatic headline. “Will Andrew become the first royal to go to prison?” The Tower of London would like a word.

I probably shouldn't have started watching Small Prophets just yet...

FA Cup? Never heard of it. Sounds daft.

Nice Sunday afternoon walk, anyone?

I am again amused by comments sections that support the idea of Spider-Man getting fresh new writers that were never part of the BND+ Brain Trust era, but also support the necessity of having Peter and MJ back together permanently. Pick a lane.

"I'm 40 years old; I can't be dealing with this" is such a mood

I can't take the term "White Erasure" seriously as it sounds like a fascist synth-pop cover group.

An utter tragedy. Science solved this problem, but a bunch of charlatans fucked everything up and brought it back

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

I see that Dipshit/Delightful Derek is going from strength to strength.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

I realise that this stuff is still all a bit juvenile but it's also great to see that seemingly every comic book artist has asked DC and Marvel "Can I do a cover? Please? PLEASE?!"

The last thing any of us need right now is a Friday 13th.

I would say Eat The Rich but you don’t know where they’ve been.

Finally United have a worse right winger than Gabriel Obertan

Watch with sound on

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
