I guess it’s an adaptation of Animal Farm in the same way Chicken Run was an adaptation of The Great Escape.

I was sure it would be purple too. They taste too medical, due to having the same flavour as cough sweets and children’s medicine.
But like a mad man he claimed that was best, and green (probably the best) was worst.
Insanity.

and yes, I know he’s been on twice recently, but Key and Herring is such a great double act.

I’m pretty sure you haven’t. Get him back on immediately!

It’s like someone said “hands up if you think you could be easily replaced by AI”.

“Kevin” was one of the other names AI suggested when I asked for a list of typical English men’s first names that are mildly amusing due to how boring they sound. Colin tickled me (ironically) more, though.

I’m wondering if you’re planning your route based on places you’d like to visit, or trains you’d like to travel on.

Instead of the Tickle-me Elmo toy, we had Please-don’t-make-physical-contact-with-me Colin.

Those terminally ill people who wish to fight to the bitter end will be able to continue to
Those who don’t wish to would have the option to not have to do so.
It’s a real shame that those who are not terminally ill, but just terminally suffering, will not be helped by this bill.

Then why do we even need the bill?

Do 100% of disabled people think everyone should be kept alive at all costs for as long as possible?
And don’t assume who I talk on behalf of.

“State-sanctioned” suicide sounds incredibly Orwellian, but is surely much less so than the current situation where the state deprives you of this autonomy.
Indeed, it would be renderer an utterly bizarre turn of phrase if we’d never been denied this autonomy to begin with.

Yeh, let people suffer, that’ll really stick it to the 1%

as well as forcing others to suffer because of a hypothetical scenario.

Yeh, makes much more sense for them to force them to keep living with the guilt of feeling like a burden.

And to be clear, I mean Garibaldis.
I’d maybe admit to liking Ed Davey as a concept for a Fast Show style parody character of a Lib Dem leader.

Starmer would surely be the supermarket own brand attempt at copying whatever biscuit Farage is.

I think that’s a closeup of one of his fingers.

Surely part of the status quo was “do evil shit”.

The sad thing is that a letter from 100 prominent disabled people is less likely to move Starmer than if Farage said he would reverse any cuts Labour made to disability benefits.
comment in response to

Pronatalism is a trend in the American right, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Farage went down that alleyway too, and the two-child benefit cap doesn’t sit well with pronatalism.
Pronatalism is also kind of a necessity if you’re anti-immigration, or the population will age and decline.

Is that fiction for seniors or about seniors?

David Cameron looks like he’s applied a Snapchat filter to see what an old David Cameron would look like.

He seems to lean comfortably and with ease in certain directions. I just can’t see him in a driving seat, though.
comment in response to
post
I feel that’s giving him an incredible amount of credit. He’s always appeared so politically clueless to me that I’d be surprised if he could even formulate terrible ideas like this.
comment in response to

They no doubt advised him not to. It’s the exact kind of terrible advice they excel at.

One’s a mug that is supposed to represent the Labour Party but panders to racists by saying “controls on immigration”, the other goes well with a digestive biscuit.

And let’s not forget they don’t have that many voters to begin with, with fewer votes in their 2024 “landslide” than they got in 2019 (“worst result evs”).
comment in response to

Yup, they’re just legitimising Reform whilst driving away their own voters (who they’ll hope to cling on to simply through fear of the alternative).
Aside from being a horrible policy direction, it’s also going to harm, rather than help Labour’s chances.
Callous and clueless.

You could maybe have forgiven it if it was in quotes, but it’s not.
I hate what this country is becoming, and it’s shame to see Labour and The Independent joining in so willingly.
comment in response to
post
They fail to challenge any of Reform’s lies, because they think to beat Reform they have to become Reform.
Hey, Labour, here’s a crazy idea, rather than trying to out-Reform Reform, why not instead do some of the good stuff people want to see from a Labour government?

Can everyone stop calling the Trump thing a trade deal?

It drives those who don’t like Reform’s messaging to Greens/Libs, it drives those who do like Reform’s messaging to Reform.
Both aspects help Reform, not Labour.
It’s also so blindingly obvious that I despair about how useless Starmer and his advisors are. Even less political nous than I thought.
