Finally! A use for Twiglets!

Well, yeah, but, no, but yes, but, good old days, Reggie Kray, teddy boys, skinheads, Inter City Firm, it was yer proper villains in the old days, not that bloody Khan with his clean air space lasers, you knew where you was didn't'cha? It's only bleedin' common sense, innit? Et cetera.

The biggest irony of the 21st century is that the public face of its alt-right horseshit - the paedophile idol of racist pond-life - is politically far closer to Pol Pot than Franco or Mussolini. They can't even make proper fascists any more!

The Kennedys were in that glorious true punk realm of being sceptical about absolutely everything. Like the eternally wonderful South Park, they ripped into anything that deserved to be ripped into. And that is why I love them. They rose above isms. (2/2 - 3 is optional)

I love this record. I'm a lower middle-class, pseudo-intellectual white boy. It's giving it to me in spades. And I love it for that. It's a straightener. Many peeps think that the DK's were left wing because of "Nazi Punks, Fuck Off!" - they weren't ... (1/2)

I can't imagine it's too much fun having some crappy excuse for the a journalist bellowing "IS IT RAINING, PRIME MINISTER?" every time you open door.

That is precisely the sort of bone-headed "say something negative for the sake of it" nonsense that is best left to Violet Elizabeth Badenoch. In fact, it is precisely the sort of bone-headed "say something for the sake of it" nonsense that explains why I no longer support the LibDems.

Every time I see "The Avengers" written somewhere, I get my hopes up, but it's so rarely about the real thing!

Absolutely, but would you trust anyone in the current climate to produce a genuinely fair system?

They get away with that because most people are daft enough to pick people on the basis of which party they belong to, rather than one of character. That's why I despise party politics with a passion. AB's coup is entirely legitimate within the system as it stands. That is not an endorsement.

We don't vote for a PM, we vote for local representatives.

It is, of course, the monarch who invites the incoming PM to form a government - an altogether different dynamic. I am not remotely embarrassed about a historical artefact that is infinitely less ludicrous than a great deal of contemporary claptrap.

I head into Duolingo stage 5 knowing that I still can't hold the most basic of conversations in Welsh. This fills me with a crushing sense of monolinguality. I have always claimed to be bilingual as I'm equally fluent in Brummie and English, but I appreciate that it's not really the same thing!

People really dont know how much Greek influence is in English

Only about 20 times a day!

Yes, jolly good fun it was, too. The Belgium game 4 years ago was a 90 minute sulk. This was the total opposite. Refreshing.

I agree, but this one is more of a typing speed test. It's an ultra-easy, non-cryptic mini.

I see a space here for the One App to Rule Them All. The ultimate one-stop crossword studio. I can picture it now: clean, accessible, intuitive UI. Neat plugin model! Nice! Ooh! It's got version control, dupe checks, clue repos ... That visual anagrammer is lush! I am NOT writing it!

Interesting. I'd instinctively associate that kind of thing with the far right (who do, indeed, seem to be making a lot of noise), but I can see that it might be more of an across-the-board opinion, as, I guess, the contrary one is in the UK.
