Exactly. There are people who need our sympathy a lot more right now.

Also, given that people are making the comparison to UKIP, this party sounds a lot more like the BNP than UKIP, and the BNP is basically dead because they couldn’t handle mainstream politics. Hell, UKIP is tearing itself apart as we speak. So there’s that.

I understand why people think Germany should ban it now because who knows if they’ll get powerful in the future, but banning political parties sets a dangerous precedent in and of itself. Prosecuting them for specific acts (e.g. hate crimes), fine, good, they should do that, but one of the features of a democracy…

I was kind of irate about it yesterday (in the way I get irate about celebrity things in the full knowledge that none of it is important) but I had only read a transcript which came across as super-cringey/humble braggy. The fact he’s apologised is nice and like, yeah fair enough, we all say stuff we don’t mean/come…

I once dated a guy who assumed, because I didn’t have an issue with him being bi, that I also wouldn’t have an issue with the revelation that he would sometimes specifically search for HIV+ guys on Grindr when he was feeling sad, to make himself feel better. Never contacted them or anything, just scrolled through…

My greatest ire in this world is reserved for men I once had a crush on who revealed themselves to be inadequate, so I am SEETHING at Hiddles right now (and have been since the whole Swift nonsense). It’s like, here’s one of them I thought might be fine and I could safely daydream about and then no - they all…

This is why I don’t live in London. Every single fucking thing you can afford to go to is overcrowded and involves extensive queuing. I’ll stick to gentrifying the North instead, thanks.

I get what you were going for, thank you for the kind gesture.

I am so impressed with how well Amber Heard has not only put up with all the hate, but continued to call out Johnny Depp and his team on their shit throughout. She’d better get that Land Rover or I’m going to LA, stealing it and driving it right to her myself (with all her money in a comedy swag bag in the back ofc).

Am I a bad person if I want someone to eat my ass but I wouldn’t want to eat theirs? This hasn’t actually come up as yet in my sex life (mostly because my sex life is near non-existent) but I’ve always thought being rimmed would feel nice. No way would I want to do it in return though. I mean I can live without it,…

I assume it’s for a role. I know he does a lot more naked paddle-boarding than acting these days, but he probably gets in front of a camera on occasion.

To be clear, I don’t object to colouring books. I just think the image of Kate Middleton doing colouring is so very Stepford.

Of course Kate Middleton likes colouring books. I can just picture her sitting there, primly making sure she never goes outside the lines. Her hair’s bouncy, she’s sitting up straight. God it makes me sick.

When I was 12 or 13, a girl from Waco joined our school - her family had moved to the UK for her dad’s job. She told us about the Dr Pepper thing and I thought that was cool. I hadn’t heard of Waco’s *other* claim to fame at that time, and I remember telling my mum ‘She comes from this place called Waco - it’s where…

They’re soft. Think of a pillow stuffed with duck feather down and that’s the kind of thing Henry’s getting at.

Americans seem to think this would be a major issue, but we go for much more subtle racism in the UK than “No you cannot marry a biracial woman.” Prince Philip would certainly say something nasty about it, but no one’s going to forbid it outright. Class would be a much bigger factor, though I think she gets a free…

You’re thinking of Super Nanny, one of our proudest exports.

And at that same dinner, Woody Allen introduced Soon-Yi as his ‘child bride’. Not that it needs saying but my God, he is sickening.

Did everyone know that one of Hugh Grant’s middle names is Mungo?

Coming in as a British person to confirm that I’m fairly sure I’ve never heard anyone say “extraordinary” to mean “good”. “Her audition was extraordinary” = “She embarrassed herself, but did it with such confidence I can only assume she thinks she did a good job”.
