GB News presenter apparently.

My school had a chapel and a chaplain, so more religious than the vast majority. We sung a hymn and said the Lord's Prayer most mornings. But what's this twice bollocks? Did his school do Vespers as well? Or did they have sing a hymn and say the Lord's prayer before double Chemistry? We never said grace before a meal- would have been kind of impractical with 600 turning up spread out over about an hour.

And that's ignoring how stupid the argument itself is.

As a former Catholic school atenndee, we said the "Our Father" just after roll call each morning and that was about it. RE classes were mostly Catholic focused, but they didn't involve singing additional hymns or prayers etc.

Well known Armsteen quote goes here.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I did a teaching practice in a Catholic school in the 60s.
Wall to wall nuns, and what James Joyce called pandybats.

Morning and evening prayer - that was it. No grace, and the evening prayer was for the Faithful Departed (and Armsteen in the hope that he found the Lord...)

And the man is.

If Nick Dixon's school was so great I wonder why he let at the first opportunity when he was 16.

[Bones McCoy]

Imagine a school with a dining hall large enough to seat all the pupils at once.

That's why I'm calling bullshit on elements of this tale.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I suppose it could have been relatively small or had distinct "sittings". And waiters, because if you were first to get your food, your food would get cold while you waited for everyone else to come in.

Actually on reflection my 11-13 school (all right, prep school) used to have sittings and grace. But it was a small school (would have been about 350). And we still didn't do this second lot of prayers and hymns that he talks about.

[Bones McCoy]

Is Nick Dixon their sub for Calvin Robinson?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Don't know. This lot love their "Christians" because they're modelling themselves on the US. No doubt it works for lots of the target audience who just hear the dogwhistles, but it must also put a fair few off.

[Youngian]

Not an unusual request from a homophobic Christian politician.

Darren Grimes must have failed the recruit assessment centre.

A pity.
The army could have re-created Sgt. Maj. Williams' Royal Artillery concert party.

Over on Mail Online, there's thousands of comments under dozens of stories about Chaz and Harry, most of which are pretty much saying the same thing. It's a tsunami of cuntery and whilst it's not remotely surprising it's still shocking to see.

[Watchman]

I'm surprised they haven't come up with, "It must be really serious if Harry's been forced to come over"

[satnav]

Andrew Pierce doesn't look well at all. Is all the stress of the inquiry into his unacceptable sexual conduct starting to get to him?

[Youngian]

Hours of worthless commentary to pad out based on three facts; the king has cancer, we don’t what sort it is and his son is flying over to see him.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha.

I like the first tweet too. On balance, I think it's good this lot are dicking about in a hall rather than sitting in the Cabinet.

[mattomac]

I thought I hadn’t seen that daft cretin for a while.

[Abernathy]

"Neighbours legend" Holly Vallance (?), ("married to property tycoon Nick Candy") thinks lefties are full of crap.

Pass the Horlicks. . .

She was always in that category of shit that was being sold that no one was buying, like someone had decided she was going to be famous and threw loads of money at it and the public just weren't having it.

I'll not lie, I fucking love it when that happens

[Rosvanian]

As I figured out when I was about 13, almost 50 years ago: you can be rich and give a shit or rich and be a cunt.

GB News heavyweight newsgathering here. Reading Twitter.

Steve Coogan's BBC return slammed as Alan Partridge star accused of 'flogging a dead horse'

I mean, yeah, that's a tenable viewpoint. Who said it?

After a BBC account shared the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, it received several disgruntled responses.

One penned: “Let's hope the writing is significantly better than that horrific live show he toured the other year. That was comfortably the worst Partridge material ever made.”

“Absolutely classic character, but it feels like flogging a dead horse at this stage,” a second admitted.

Oh. somebody not even worth naming.
