jeremy clarkson - still a twat
Of course entitled fuckwits like Jeremy Clarkson know no shame and will say anything to defend their position, however abhorrent. The BBC should never have him on again, but let's face it, that's not going to happen. The interview is here.

landlords and small violins
Poor mite. Pass me the worlds smallest violin. Thousands are using foodbanks, kids are going hungry, and the media churns out this sort of crap. Absolutely no sympathy.

It's been a couple of weeks, and l'm still waiting to see further news coverage of this Dispatches / Sunday Times investigation. Obviously it's been kicked into the long grass by the powers that be.

ricky gervais's afterlife - it's funny
I'm a fan of Ricky Gervais, and think his 'Afterlife' series is one of his best. This clip, although cruel, made me laugh out loud when l first saw it. Perhaps l need help.

marc bolan judy cover
We were talking about these sort of covers in the pub last night. I guess it was cheaper to have a drawing rather than paying for a photograph, but some of the artwork comics used was atrocious. As an example, I present this Marc Bolan cover in Judy. Horrific.
jeremy clarkson - man of the people
This. All day long. Clarkson himself admitted he bought his 312 acre farmland for 4.25 million in 2012 because he wanted to avoid paying inheritance tax. Because of the likes of Clarkson and Dyson buying up farmland like this, it actually raises the prices of the land, which affects others inheritance taxes and means lower yields, so he should be the last person leading the protest. Of course the billionaires behind the right wing papers are on their side as it's a way of attacking Labour. Never forget they are only paying 20% (over 10 years) on inheritances over 3 million, which does not include the actual farms themselves. Rich knobheads. I also hope someone is checking if they are using red diesel on public roads, and remember, it's not a 'tractor tax', it's a rich landowners inheritance tax. Report it properly and lock them all up.

more twitter crap but rich 'farmers' can fuck off
I hope if road blockages by farmers and / or right wing provocateurs do take place, they are given the same kind of sentences 'Just Stop Oil' protesters were given for blocking roads, but l very much doubt it. The rich land owning 'Farmers' can fuck off and should pay way more that 20% over 3 million on their inherited land. Obviously they have the right wing press on their side, but this affects hardly any normal crop growing / animal owning farmers, it's the rich, once again, trying to look after other rich folk (and their own interests).
PE / sports teacher elliot millar abuses his position
Elliot Millar, this scumbag of a school sports / PE teacher drew a penis on a special needs childs face and has now been rightfully jailed. The Liverpool Echo states he never had adequate training, but that misses the point completely. What sort of training do you need to know that drawing cocks on kids faces is wrong FFS? Now I never went to the local secondary school near where l currently live, but a lot of my mates did, and the PE teacher there (since deceased) used to humiliate pupils by getting them to do (amongst other things) naked press ups in front of other pupils. Rather sadly, some of the ex pupils (who were usually good at sports and in the teachers favour) think this was just character building. I strongly disagree and have argued this with them, as you can imagine, much to their pleasure (not). It was a different world then, but there's no way l would have put up with it, and l'm glad to say my brother, who did go to the school, but was crap at most sports, walked out of school when the teacher tried to pick on him, and was left alone after that. It's not always easy, but stand up for what you believe is right. you sleep better at night.

the twitter / x exodus to bluesky
The Bluesky exodus is finally happening. The tipping point was the USA election propaganda by Musk, and millions of people are leaving twitter / x and moving over, at a current rate of aprox one million a day. Obviously l have been a user for a while, and in my mind everyone is following my lead, but either way, Elon Musk has fucked up twitter and turned it into a right wing hub of hate and misinformation, headed by his own personal account. Luckily the alternative is a lot better, and like twitter many, many years ago. Come join the party.
the onion buys alex jones' info wars
his is one of the greatest takeovers of all time, and l have nothing but respect for The Onion for managing to pull this off, annoy Alex Jones and their choice of future content. Also done with the help of some Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones is very, very unhappy about this. The sun still shines in this murky old world, and there is still hope of a better life. Drinks all round!

oklahoma and massachusetts voting and education
I'm not saying all republican voters are thick, but education sure helps with political reasoning. Then again, l haven't bothered checking if this is true, but if not, it won't be far out.

kemi badenoch's shadow cabinet
You really couldn't make this up. Newly appointed right wing Tufton Street supported anti immigration Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch (real name Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch, born in the UK but basically Nigerian) has appointed her shadow cabinet, and it includes a Justice Secretary that wants to leave the ECHR and supports Trump, an Education Secretary who does not understand percentages, and a Foreign Secretary who had to resign for unauthorised meetings with another country (Israel). This band of right wing idiots have no chance of winning an election, and shows the Conservatives haven't learnt from their mistakes during their last stints in government and loss at the last election. What a time to be alive!
