Horses can and do swim. I learned that it’s a good idea to kick your feet out of the stirrups when walking a horse into water, because the fuckers might take the opportunity to roll.

Never read DM comments! They are a cesspool. There’s an entire Twitter account dedicated to highlighting the worst of their frothing batshittery. It’s where people still longing for the days of empire go to wail about the modern world.

Denny Méndez is Dominican-Italian and won the Miss Italy title all the way back in 1996.

The Nazis kept records.

Did you catch any coverage of the Carnival of Cuntitude that they took to Downing Street to agitate for his release? What a waste of a bank holiday.

There’s also the sexist trope that a black woman is with a white man for his money.

The Post Office here in the UK does current (checking) accounts, savings accounts, credit cards and even mortgages! Don’t use them for buying foreign currency though, as their rates for that are rubbish.

Fred Goodwin, who was in charge of Northern Rock bank when it collapsed, was stripped of his knighthood. Unfortunately, he got to keep pension.

Louise Mensch was a Tory politician before she decamped to the States. And before that she wrote chick lit.

Dude, we’re busy. First we’ve got to clear up from the massive flooding that has devastated the country, then we have to find some way of convincing our kleptocrat politicians from eating so much of the national budget.

Was this in the 80s? Because Heathrow was known as Theifrow back then. It’s (marginally) better now.

Ye gods. Is there a factory where these creatures are hatched in bulk? Because if so, we need to track it down and burn it to the ground.

How old is the elder Chronister? Is he one of those throwbacks who remembers when black people and women weren’t allowed to play golf? Diddums probably thinks that his racist safe space has been invaded. And after he went through all the trouble of spawning a son who would end up (part-)owning a golf course!

That’s been a problem in UK prisons. I think the Beeb actually got footage of a delivery that the prison didn’t seem to know about.

It’s weird, isn’t it? I mean, even Paul “cunt shower” Dacre of the Daily Mail has one redeeming quality, though it’s 25 years old now.

A lot of African churches these days are some variant of born-again (or “saved”), meaning alcohol is a no-no. They captured my grandmama and all four of her sisters. Family gatherings have gone from riotous all-weekend ragers where we slaughter several cows/sheep, drink a van’s worth of booze and dance to the point of…

So...

It was a lead item on the (very short) BBC broadcast after Sunday Politics. If this had happened during the Ashes, I’m pretty sure questions would have been asked in Parliament.

Have you seen that he’s supporting a petition to “proscribe Antifa and other left wing [sic] anarchist groups” on the UK.gov website? Adorable.

Was hoping this would be written about. I have been in a state of high dudgeon since I first learned of it last night.
