We're all going to have a bitter taste in our months once the fiscal measures announced on Wednesday begin to bite.
Who's this 'we', paleface?

You're going to be just fine, Dickie. Earning another £700 k a year for churning out two columns of reactionary fart a week when you can be arsed to do so.

Meanwhile, I and many others like me who have the misfortune to not have a job right now have just seen £86 docked from our monthly UC pittance, regardless of rising living costs or increased energy bills at this time of year. While we're struggling to get by and firing off job applications wherever we can, will you spare as much as a kindly thought for us, from your gated community in Florida?

Will ye fuck. Away and throw shite at yerself.

Tempted to say LJ would come out with this stuff at any budget (always a name check for Maeve ‘spend spend spend’ Nicholson) but to give him begrudging credit his point is that the economy is an awful shape and no strategy to reassure markets. He doesn’t say why of course or what sort of prat voted to put us in this position.

Such a patriotic gathering, too busy getting pissed, and not realising what day it was until they became aware of something happening outside

Also, a thatched terrace cottage? Believe it when I see one.

If he did the slightest bit of research he would know that the reason many premier league teams had poppy events on Saturday is because there won't be any premier league matches on remembrance weekend because there is an international break. The teams who played at home last weekend won't be at home again for another 3 weeks.

The most moving Remembrance Sunday I can recall…

Then recalls a very ordinary Remembrance Day parade that’s staged up an down the country. Apart from he was skulling back Bloody Marys.

According to the Premier League website the last time they auctioned off the poppy shirts worn by all the premier league players the raised over £2m. So if bringing things forward a week helps to ensure a similar sum is raised it would seem to be a very good idea.

Even his obligatory opening quip is quite amusing
Now we know what was really bothering Boris Johnson when he spoke of the ticking clock standing at 'one minute to midnight'.

He was worried about missing Last Orders at the Garrick Club.

Littlecock has a whinge about efforts to employ more women and BAME people to senior positions, before arguing himself into a rather tight corner. Apparently the real problem is the white men running everything and they're doing a HIPOCRASY by not being women or BAME themselves. Or something.

Then some snarks about animal cruelty, gay airline staff, and apparently Thomas the Tank Engl=ine has been "cancelled", but I'm not exactly sure why.

Comments are largely from the Enoch Powell fan club.

Readers with functional memories will recall that any attempts to "cancel" Thomas arrived four or five years ago when the newer series filtered far enough into Maily consciousness that they noticed some of the engines were intended to be female and possibly of "non white" countries of origin.

Besides, pointing out the dated stereotypes in Thomas the Tank Engine isn't exactly new. It's on a par with Baa Baa Black Sheep being banned.

Wasn’t a major complaint that the fat controller wasn’t fat…. They didn’t even attempt to call him plump or not reference his weight they just made him slim, like people can’t lose weight.

Like this is generally the most worrying concern in the world to them at that point.

As US comic Louis CK observed; Anyone who complains about being white is a massive asshole. LJ is probably right that in many quarters too many darkies on the TV is a problem. And he knows his audience.
