Oh, I don't laugh at her. I merely despise her.

Well, good luck with that. I’ve heard she’s up for it. Mark Field* told me.

I’ll err, get my coat . Red santa tunic with white fur trim.

* Tory MP with whom Truss conducted anillicit adulterous affair.

Do you think she makes the 'pork markets' face when she...

No, no. Bad Andy, no biscuit.

Robert Tchenguiz is, in the opinion of many, someone with whom it would be daft to launch a business venture, destined to drown in oceans of red ink.

Step forward, Liz Truss...

Seriously, woman - just fuck off out of this country, you're not wanted here. You weren't ousted by a mythical "deep state", you were ousted because you and YOUR arrogant shit-for-brains chancellor spooked your holy fucking markets.

FUCK. OFF.

I see no reason why Mailwatch posters can't described themselves as leaders in the British independent media.

Is there an "indie" chart for media, like for records back in the day? Perhaps Dan Wootton competes for top spot with Fields of the Nephilim and Gaye Bykers on Acid.

HOW DARE YOU MENTION HIS NAME IN THE SAME BREATH AS THOSE LEGENDS?

The indie charts had some dross in them, to be fair.

Perhaps the indie chart of the late 80s would be a better fit, when PWL was the most successful independent label and Stock, Aitken and Waterman productions regularly topped that chart.

And the UK is not done with idiocy just yet. If a nation can pull Dunning and Kruger out of its arse, then other surnames are available, such as Trump and Vance or Orbán and the spectacularly double-barrelled Pot-Pot.

In an era of unfettered access to every strand of unparalleled knowledge and understanding, we are opting for Tik-Toks and the amplified blether of barely-sentient beings who struggle with seat belts.

The trouble is, the former is now getting drowned out by the latter and it's getting worse as every day passes.

A car channel I follow on YT had its author say he was bought a book on the Citroën SM, an example of which he owns (albeit in an unrestored state). He said he wasn't long into the book before he realised it was written by ChatGPT or some similar AI-type tool. I've heard similar stories involving railway books as well.

Many years ago I contributed a lot of photographs for, but also re-wrote a chapter in a book a friend was writing who'd done his research for said chapter on the Internet and it would have perpetuated some falsehoods had I not pointed out the errors: thankfully, the effort my German friends and I put in some 25 years ago is finally correcting those falsehoods. If people are going to try and publish books where their effort is limited to getting an AI tool to do the work, who knows what other garbage may get written?
