If we didn't cover it in lovely batter, we'd never go anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often are the BBC going to misread the public mood? Last weeks column was good too - Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The pay-off being that the general population has now got the number of the wokeists and there's no way back. Let's see what Janet Daly makes of it all tomorrow.

The weekly drivel and dribble of Lord Snooty of the Gammons, behind a paywall. Strange thing is I am acquainted with some washed crusty AnarchoSyndicalMungBean types who equate the BBC with the RMVP. Dunno who Janet Daly is, if she writes for the Telegraph she's probably a hatefilled old witch whose gingerbread house has thus far failed to ensnare any lost children.

Charles Moore writing in the Spectator (arf) is basically saying that Boris should be allowed to say whatever the fuck he likes and not have the BBC calling him out as a publicly funded body. As screeching goes, it’s better than anything you’ll see from anyone on this website. The deflection and teeth gritting is audible as you read each paragraph. Most amusing. Doesn’t mention fish. For obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted May 1, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2021 Indeed Charles Moore is probably the type that even Mogg finds slightly distasteful, yet a necessary cheerleader for the swarming masses of middle classers desperately trying to kick each other in the face as they scramble up the social ladder. Marina Hyde is a much more accomplished writer. She’s actually witty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) You'd think all the nouveau-gauche aspirationals would be too busy to read anything this weekend. Too preoccupied with skipping all their John Lewis kit and poring over Olyvya Oxazepam pattern books and Lulu Mackeson-Stout swatches...

After a sea fishing trip I wrapped a full cod in foil with herbs and olive oil and left it on the dying embers. It was bloody beautiful but everyone was too full of cheap bangers to enjoy it... I had some good pack ups that week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted May 1, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2021 In fact, Moore wrote this sparkling piece yesterday that tackles the type of issue that will have his readers blaming Kier Starmer, somehow The lack of rain, the cold east wind and beautiful sun have been the same for us in rural southern England every day this month, with a frost almost every night. I wonder if these conditions explain why, for the first time in my life, I have not heard a cuckoo in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the delight of the prematurely aged (and actually aged) reactionaries that comprise his readership. "Because half-a-dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field." Edmund Burke (no doubt he was 'prematurely aged' when he wrote that. If he held conservative views he must have done. Clearly). Polling stations open on Thursday. One person one vote. Even the prematurely aged and people who don't share your world view are allowed to vote. So wrong. Edited May 1, 2021 by paulhanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To win elections you need to be humble enough to listen to what millions of people think and come up with policies that engage with those views. Tony Blair and Harold Wilson knew this. However that's clearly not where you are at your happiest. That approach won't win you elections. But as long as you're happy that's OK.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The peasants are revolting, listen to them and we'd have public hanging back by August Bank Holiday. Vote for what on May 6th? Mayor of Greater Manchester? I believe in neither concept so shall abstain. Anyhow, the grasshoppers had the last laugh - they flew off to plunder another wheatfield and later had a martial arts hero and several Dutch hash cafes named for them. The docile domesticated chattel were '...led by a ringe throughe ther nose for a bolte to the heade and too be minced into Olde Rosse Gryllstakes.' © Thomas Paine esq. 1492ad.

Here goes. "I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE SOUND OF TWO BRICKS, BEING BASHED TOGEVVER." Well, quite... Thanks. I was wondering what to make of Paul’s reference (albeit sourced elsewhere, rather unimaginatively I thought) to fields full of cows and grasshoppers. I guess he sees himself as a larger and, therefore, superior being - loitering sluggishly in the meadow, waiting dutifully for his human betters to come along and tell him what to do and where to go, before milking his aching udders. But not before taking the chance to dump a large pat of dung on the noisy, inferior insects. That’ll show them. And yes, the meadow will be full of them once more on his return from the dairy, but another squirt of manure will remind them of their place on life’s ladder. Its a curious and telling metaphor.
