"Apu is a racist stereotype.". Oh bore off. Literally *every* character in @TheSimpsons is an exaggerated stereotype. And that's kinda the point. What else do these worry-warriors expect from a cartoon comedy? Smh.

The Queen can probably be forgiven for cancelling engagements on account of being dead for two years, right?. (I'm aware this refers to Camilla but I simply don't recognise her as "The Queen" and I simply never will so shut up)

Nimbys: *move next to Britain's biggest fucking airport*. Planes: *take off and land*. Nimbys, for some stupid reason:
It’s 6:30am, and planes have already been overhead for two hours. It’s time to end the 16 flights a night coming into Heathrow. Particularly now that Heathrow is reviving its third runway proposal. Sign my petition ✍️ 👇 .

A breakdown of Scottish exports in 2019:.🏴 > 🇬🇧 = £52bn (60%).🏴 > 🇪🇺 = £16.4bn (19%).🏴 > 🌍 = £18.7bn (21%). Nicola Sturgeon looked at this and concluded that it would be a good idea to build a hard border between Scotland & England in the event of independence. Nice one. 👍.

🏳️⚧️ The terfs literally backed themselves into a shadowy corner at City Square – whilst we vastly outnumbered them and had a great time in the sunshine, including a spontaneous ceilidh. This is why I love Dundee. Trans rights are human rights. And there's no LGB without the T. 🏳️🌈

In the article, Haigh says we need to "make sure the mistakes of HS2 are never repeated again.". Why do I fear that that means we will simply never attempt to build anything half as vital as HS2 ever again?. The UK is in an endless doom spiral. Trapped and refusing to get out.
The Conservatives allowed the costs of HS2 to spiral out of control. Labour won’t make the same mistakes. Today I'm announcing urgent measures to get a grip on costs and deliver for the public and taxpayer.

Forget the Roman Empire: how often do you think of the alternate timeline where Gordon Brown calls an election in 2007?.
#OTD 2007. Gordon Brown says “there is no weakness in Britain today that cannot be overcome by the strengths of the British people”. In his first conference speech as PM in Bournemouth, he refuses to rule at an election - as a poll shows Labour 8pts ahead of David Cameron.

Not long ago, Kate Middleton had a laugh at a homeless shelter. Today Prince William scoffs at people panicking as a result of the melodramatic rhetoric about coronavirus. What a charming couple.
Prince William speaks to a Dublin paramedic about #coronavirus and jokes: ‘I bet everything is like “I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying!” And you’re like “no you’ve just got a cough. ” ‘.#RoyalVisitIreland

@ACAPeckham @BerkeleyGroupUK @PeckhamVision @peckhampeculiar @SouthwarkNotes High-density development in urban centres (near to amenities, businesses and connections) is precisely what every city needs *more* of, not less. Enough of this petty NIMBY nonsense.

Haha, ohhh America. Getting into a flap because counting votes could "go into the early hours" – bless your hearts!. Like, imagine Kamala Harris standing in a leisure centre at 3am in Oakland next to Count Binface and Elmo, waiting to learn if she will lead the free world or not.
JUST IN: Expect a LOONG election night in Milwaukee. With the city of MKE about to surpass 80,000 early voters, the election commissioner says she expects counting to go into the early morning hours. She says counting to 2-3am is likely. @fox6now.

Kate Forbes is a conservative who happens to support independence. The SNP is not united by progressivism, social justice or equality. It's only bound by nationalism. Their first leadership contest in 19 years is exposing them for what they are: a single-issue pressure group.
NEW: Kate Forbes tells @Channel4News she would have voted against equal marriage. But as First Minister she will not 'row back on rights that already exist.'

I left a cup in the sink (planning to wash it after dinner). My Nana nudged me out of the way and said, "I'll wash it, shall I? Are you gonna expect your wife to do it too?". I said, "I may get married one day, but I'll never have a wife.". She dropped the cup and blushed.

I mean, I don't think it's appropriate for PMs to be installed without having faced the test of an election either. But @NicolaSturgeon seems to be forgetting the circumstances of her OWN installation as First Minister. If you're going to be arrogant, don't be a hypocrite.
2. Her departure will not solve the Brexit mess that the Tories have created. Only putting the matter back to the people can do that. Given current circumstances, it also feels deeply wrong for another Tory to be installed in Number 10 without a General Election.

@BBCPolitics I like Ed Miliband when he was Leader, and it's a shame he didn't do better. But having the humility to admit, without hesitation, that someone else is better than he was? That kind of refreshing self-awareness is sorely lacking in politics. Glad Ed is back on the frontbench.

Your man literally got told to "grow up" right before the final whistle. Get benched. #BBCLeadersDebate.
Only one leader on stage was willing to take on Nicola Sturgeon over her plans for another divisive referendum. Only the @ScotTories have the strength to stop an SNP majority, stop their push for indyref2, and get all of our focus on rebuilding Scotland. #BBCLeadersDebate

🚂 Railways have been a feature of the British countryside – in terms of function AND form – for nearly two centuries. Kneecapping the transformative potential of HS2 because of NIMBY handwringing was one of the biggest blunders we've ever made.
Words fail me. Here's HS2 being built at Chipping Campden. Anyone bellyaching about why HS1 costs so much, look at this and then just shut up and go away.

Oppose HS2 for years, wait for most of it to get scrapped, and then (narrowly) reverse course just so they can use it to give Labour grief for a decision it didn't make?. Will the Green Party's sanctimonious sixth-form posturing never end?.
🚨 BREAKING: Green Party votes in favour of HS2. The party previously opposed HS2, but members overturned this and the party is now committed to backing all phases of the infrastructure project. The vote was 52% for, 48% against.

*whispers* Londoners are justified in begrudging flaws in their transport system; just because it's superior doesn't make it perfect. AND. Non-Londoners are justified in begrudging years of chronic under-investment in shoddy infrastructure. These are not mutually exclusive!!.

@lqbtmix @AltVincenzoJr @TheSimpsons Btw: even the white/yellow characters represent and stereotype groups of people. Ned Flanders. Smithers. Otto. Chief Wiggum. Grandpa. Barney. Luigi for crying out loud. It's the whole bloody point, and has been for 28 years. If you don't see that, perhaps it's you who is slow.

@beecycles Your desire to make a smug intellectual point is drowned out by the fact it is incredibly tone deaf. These tattoos charitably commemorate the Manchester bombing, borrowing the 150+ year old image of the Worker Bee associated with the city. PhD? Try humanity.

What wisdom could she possibly see in reheating Theresa May's failed policy on Northern Ireland? Sturgeon is supposed to be laying out a credible economic case to convince us of her pipedream, and this is the best she can do?. It's a masterclass in recklessness.
