Yes, treating Japan and China as the same culture is the same thing as admitting another culture exists. Man, you're hypersensitive.

I heard a rumour that she did this because she wanted to be cast as the lead in the film version of Memoirs of a Geisha. As awful as that movie was, it's nice to be reminded that it could have been much worse.

The answer is because he's as dumb as her, and he'd found his perfect Eliza Doolittle to show off his limited field of knowledge to. That whole revolutionary phase started with the premise that not voting is a valid act of protest (working-class young British people already don't vote, Russell, and the government…

You are aware that the borders that separate Japan from China weren't set by "imperial powers", though, aren't you? They were set by the sea.

Your claim that nobody has levelled cultural appropriation charges at Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani proves nothing other than you don't know how to search for things on the internet.

Re: Saatchi's past. The British advertising industry in the '80s was notorious for its abhorrence of cocaine, of course...

I know! Clearly the more believable allegation would involve a ten-year blood of virgins habit.

"Upper class", basically.

Ask, and ye shall receive.

I mean, I tend to assume rich showbiz people take coke all the time anyway, because they can afford it, there are absolutely no consequences for them, and it's a social norm in those circles. But the moment this allegation came up, I couldn't help thinking Saatchi was trying to gaslight Lawson by inflating a few…

I'm not surprised by Susannah being a sweetheart - she seemed like that as soon as I saw her paired with Kevin. I think her thing against Susannah and Natalie is that their answers in interviews are sometimes rather 'trained' and cautious, and they often seem pretty sunny and happy, which is the opposite of her…

Yeah, I was expecting it to be a lot younger. But then, I'm mainly interested in film, which is a self-destructively youth-fetishising industry. Literature, say, is very different.

I'd never seen her in Corrie, but I'm definitely curious to see her act now. My mum hates her and Susannah because "they're so false and competitive and they think they're so great but they're hiding it!". I think part of the fun of watching Strictly is these occasional, strange, psychosexual insights I get into my…

The dance faces this year have been pretty distracting all round, really. I think Natalie's the best dancer in the competition, but Sophie could have challenged her if she'd been gifted a partner who could show her at her best.

How many Jezebellions watch the UK version, Strictly Come Dancing? Because we need to discuss Natalie Gumede's excellent hair:

Hell, it's baffling enough to British people...

But the daughters skew Democrat, so it balances out.

This is the point of laws like this, of course - they are "so vaguely worded" that you can do anything with them. I'm reminded of the UK's infamous (and now mercifully repealed) Section 28, which aimed to criminalise "the promotion of homosexuality" in schools. Does "promotion of homosexuality" mean sex education? …

God, I know. Watching it made me wish the BBC really was the stiflingly politically correct socialist palace of groupthink the Tories believe it to be.

0:15 is you.
