A lot of 'journalism' these days consists of either scanning Twitter (or "X, formerly known as Twitter", 4 more words towards the count, thanks Elon) for tweets to copy, or watching daytime TV for something people will comment on, on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Or as I put it here's what some twats on twitter had to say.

John Cleese, possibly ?

Where's Ofcom?

Part of the studio audience you say?

I'm sure GBeebies will be doing their best to fill the audience with friendly plants. I trust people will be scrupulously honest when applying.

Not a good day for former GB News presenter, Mark Steyn.

Or alternatively they might want to throw him to the Reform mob.

2 letters of separation between Mark Steyn and Wank Steyn.

Gravy Seals, aka Pizzagrenadiers.

GB News presenter here. After posting a video of someone who wasn't Navalny she comes back with "suspicious how everyone suspects Putin".

And something about "we're supplying bombs" to a country that's just been invaded.

Nigel spots a new social menace on our high streets, too many foreigners cutting hair. As usual he offers no practical solution to the problem he’s stirring up

Fuck's sakes.
Reporter stresses that most shops are legit.
Farage chips in with "the whole thing" is a racket.
Man's, as they say, a cunt.

Most people think Reform are a gift to Labour. Not these people.

I take it John Curtice doesn’t respond to these psephological brain farts on GBeebies?

In other big news, Swift on the ropes.

It's one argument for the Gove/Sunak "Everybody should do hard sums until they're 18" policy.

i.e. These "Journalists" lack basic analysis.


I'll stick with Professor Curtice.

Like Eamonn was ever in with a chance.

The big lad (who's out of shape) is cosplaying as a wooly hatted incel YouTuber.
(Why do they wear wooly hats indoors?)

Isn’t one of them a comic? Simon someone who plays a rude Tory persona (himself, I presume). Quite funny as well.

As if anyone, anywhere, ever gave two fucks about what Eamonn Holes thinks.

Man's a cunt.

What about car washes?

I was thinking about this the other day and while there very likely are barbers being used for money laundering, the main reason is probably because it's easy money. A couple of chairs, clippers and scissors, a bit of training (I say this with every respect to fully-trained hairdressers) and you can charge upwards of £15 a time with minimal overheads. Two of them an hour and you're laughing.
