I mean, in Campbell’s case the thing to really fear is being hit by his plate when he hurls it at you in the studio because he’s in a mood and thinks BAs and runners are acceptable targets. Odious arsehole of a man, treats junior staff like shit and - as so often with ‘talent’ - gets away with it.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

HOOK JAW (1976): Controversial kids' comic Action's main event - a vengeful great white with a dirty great gaff hook lodged in its mouth. Initially written and drawn by Pat Mills and Ramon Sola, this was an insanely, deliriously violent strip, with arms, legs, and heads popping off.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
