I expect that if an elected MP dressed in an SS uniform and started goose-stepping around the Houses of Parliament, he would grab people’s attention. It doesn’t mean it’s a good thing!
Putting your pecker in their pint would Alps grab their attention. WTF does attention grabbing have to do with suitability for leadership of a nation?
They should leave that shit to the Yanks.
Hitler, Fred West, Stalin, tiny children and sex workers are very good at grabbing attention. Obviously no disrespect to the sex workers, they are doing it for their job.
There was the plane crash though - oldie but a goodie.
Still, it is possible to make crashing a plane sound insanely matter of fact. This deadpan account of jumping from a burning aircraft without a parachute is great, unless you’re the Producer; no drama at all:
I've been in this game 30 years - when I came in, it already felt like it was falling down, new tech on the horizon, falling ad revenue. I've watched the slow gutting of it from the inside by bean counters and publishers who pay their freelancers rates unchanged in 20 years.
I hate that logic. Like if I went mental with an AK-47 on a busy high street i'd probably grab your attention, but I doubt its because i'm doing an amazing job.
Exactly. Also I am sure that if I went into my local village now, stood outside the coffee shop and shouted “deport all refugees. Asylum seekers want to steal your jobs” I would get lots of attention.

Clearly we can't say just anything we like.
Feels more appropriate - yup, I will say what I like..
