There was always a binge element to those novels. Or was the binge element inherent in the readers?

AW HELL NO.

A big black dildo is at least comprehensible to a square - but handcuffs? What would she do with.....? That leads to a conversation we don’t want to have, quick, run away!

My theory is that all cool people get churched as a child in some way. You need it for comparison as you get older, so you don’t fall into the born-again pit of ignorance.

I’m also floating a theory that she’s not a real camera person but a police plant. But then, authorities never need help to persecute other people - there’s always some willing to step in on their own.

I think it’s usually easier to be a dick, and harder to have compassion. I also think that the woman in question isn’t weighing up any of this philosophy in her head. She just hates foreigners. Or wants an interview. Or something.

I don’t think it will make a difference that she’s fired. I think she may be a police plant.

... too much cold tea drunk out of Jack bottles?

Something tells me you don’t hear or see a LOT of things around you.

Gawd love ya. Lets go motorboating!

So we’re just going to let the police officer’s blatant racism slide, then? Just, what, not talk about it? - because this is Jezebel, and we only do misogyny here?

I can’t be bothered explaining satire to anyone.
