[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreaderโ€™s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencerโ€™s eybrows raise slightly]

โ€ฆHaving their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencerโ€™s face. The intervieweeโ€™s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment weโ€™re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: โ€˜Dubai Is Brilliantโ€™.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencerโ€™s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expatโ€™s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which areโ€ฆ?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

โ€œI Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax Toโ€

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm. 

[Ends]

Iโ€™m sure we will see wall to wall sympathetic coverage of the Greens in the British press now and endless platforming of Polanski on BBC shows like Question Time now theyโ€™re breathing down the neck of Reform โ€ฆ

What's your favourite Lisa McGee show involving four close friends from the north, one of whom is a frustrated writer, one of whom is brassy, one of whom is a lesbian, one of whom is a bit a spacer, getting involved in various zany schemes with a host of colourful local characters, including a nun.

Almost twenty years on from Gordon brown I still defy anyone to define what โ€˜British valuesโ€™ are

Iโ€™ve lived in this country - all over it (Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London) - for almost all Iโ€™m adult life and Iโ€™ve no closer to an answer

It's bad enough they have oversexed tourists, Cyprus shouldn't have British military bases too.

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying โ€˜Fraudโ€™ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

There needs to be much higher stakes for being wrong in column writing / analytic journalism. The well has been utterly polluted over the years by self righteous idiots.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

1) We live in hell 2) Showing CNN's coverage of this news because it'll probably be the last time it's of any use if this merger goes through.

To see the British Labour Party, whose whole thing is "We Win Things But You Radical Fools Wouldn't Know Anything About That", come in 3rd because they couldn't bear to select the candidate that would win is just incredibly funny.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

It's RBQ recording time baby awooo! This isn't the Cluedo Mansion this year though, this is Linlithgow Castle, which I swung by to have a look at before I made my way to the danger zone. This castle wouldn't have been an ideal location. Not enough...roof.
