The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

Someone asked me with a straight face "but what if it had been a brick?" Then it would've been a brick, one would be violence, the other was street theatre.

Basically prices are like drains: if you start to notice them, something has gone wrong.

So the toad went to bed and the frog got up and told him a story.

The end.

It's real underpants gnome stuff. Stage one: antagonize the left, stage 2: ?, stage 3: actually that's a ? as well.

"Eighty-two years after his execution by the Gestapo on June 16, 1944, the Jewish historian and resistance fighter Marc Bloch will be inducted into the Pantheon on June 23... His family requested that 'the far right, in all its forms, be excluded from any participation in the ceremony.'"

If you google "Is Fozzie Bear Jewish?" You get a surprisingly detailed discussion of Borsht-Belt comedy and Jewish references in The Muppets.

My friend once got talking to someone at party he was convinced had been at uni with him. He kept pressing until eventually they had to tell him they were Simon Amstell and they just knew him from TV.

Yeah, he's argument was that AV was not PR, but when asked how he would go from voting down AV to getting PR it was a bit of an underpants gnome scenario.

My former housemate declared he would vote to keep FPTP in the referendum, because he wanted Proportional Representation.

Thank you to our union brother @brucespringsteen.net (the only Boss we stand with) for showing solidarity with the working people of Minneapolis. ✊

It’s worth mentioning, though it’s been said repeatedly: the Lizzie Line carries 1/6th of UK daily rail passengers (not including the Tube) and has already paid off its entire costs.

And if HS2 had been committed to, without plans being tweaked every 5 minutes, Phase 1 would be opening next year.

Once, in Virgin megastore on Tottenham Court Road with my then girlfriend, I reached behind me to affectionately tickle her midriff. There was a cough and I turned round to find I was stroking the belly of a large ginger man wearing a very similar shade of green.

Graph showing decline since 2005

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing
