My wife has been following the fisherman Stan Rennie and the story of the mass die-offs on the North East coast since 2021. The fishermen - whose livelihoods have been decimated by the die-offs - just want answers. Could it be connected to the brand new Freeport? www.youtube.com/watch?v=seU-...

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title above the first two panels reads, "Dog Toys".
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a bone shaped dog toy. She says, "Look!"
The second panel shows a dog wagging its tail. There is a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It squeaks!"
The title above the last two panels reads, "Cat Toys".
In panel three we see Sarah again. She says "Come, child."
Panel four shows a cat raising its paws in glee. We see Sarah's hands holding cat nip. We see a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It is time to do drugs".

Happy 13th anniversary to that terrible misunderstanding at a WI meeting.
PARKHAM WI: The speaker at the April meeting was Captain Colin Darch, who talked about piracy embarrassingly the WI all dressed as pirates for the evening not real-ising that Captain Darch was going to be talking about his experience of being held hostage by Somall pirates rather than piracy in general.Captain Darcy with a group of WI ladies who are dressed as pirates. He’s quite chipper despite everything.

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Off and on it
[Scene is heaven, in clouds. JESUS, acting as God’s PA, is briefing God, a big ball of light with arms sat at an executive desk, with a computer on it]. 

Jesus [holding a tablet computer]: 

OK, so -

The next one to check in on is…

 ‘Earth’.

God: Spelling?

Jesus: E-A-R-T-H.

[God types into the computer] 

tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap.

God: F—ing hell.

What’s happened here!?
 
We need to complain - get me the manager. 

Jesus: Uh, well, the most powerful one is…

[Jesus turns his iPad round to show God. We can’t see the screen]

God: What is that.

I mean, it’s been a while but that’s definitely not how I designed them. Are you sure we’ve got the right planet?

Jesus: Yes, this is the… top human.

God: Off and on it again

Jesus: I’ll book the meteor

Since the very dawn of humanity, from the time we stopped being apes and started being humans, we imagine that people have looked at the heavens, seen the regular progression of the stars across the night sky, observed the movements of the planets, and asked themselves, "When is bins?"

Christmas at the BBC
Title panel: 

CHRISTMAS… AT THE BBC.

The Traitors Christmas Special:

Who in the BBC Boardroom is trying to bring down the gaff from within?

[Image: The Traitors scene with Claudia Winkleman looking like “ooh-er” while the BBC board sit at a table looking suspiciously at each other]

Apologising To The People Who Want To Destroy Us At Christmas:

A festive extravaganza of self-flagellation before our enemies

[Image: A cozy fireside scene with Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch standing, while at their feet lots of BBC employees are kneeling before them and begging for forgiveness]. 


Donald's Big Distraction:

Heartwarming Julia Donaldson animation in which a dragon sues the BBC to draw his friends' attention onto something else

[Image: Julia Donaldson’s ‘Zog’ with a Donald Trump wig, holding up a lawyer’s letter to show his dragon friends while trying to block their view of a pile of box files and computer drives some with ‘Epstein’ written on them]. 

The King's Speech:

We let Nigel Farage tell you the BBC is left wing as if that's some kind of fact

[Image: Nigel Farage as the King delivering his Christmas speech to camera].  

A Ghost Story for Christmas:

A venerable British institution is haunted by Boris Johnson's appointees

[Image: A BBC studio with a window, outside in the dark snowy night a spectral apparition in the form of Robbie Gibb taps at the window and wails “I want to destroooy you”]

Christmas Labour Inertia-Time:

Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy present four hours of total silence from under their desks

[Image: Show them both under their desks holding up glasses of sherry]

Rightward Drift Christmas Special:

A bonanza of trust-corrosion with confected immigration panic and Reform coverage

[Image: A computer and a smartphone in a cute snowy scene, both displaying the BBC News website with multiple headlines and LIVE feeds and and BREAKING NEWS stories headlined: “IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS!”]

My feelings on this too. I discussed this with my Mum yesterday, who was initially nonplussed about the 2 child limit. But then remembered how much child benefit was an essential lifeline for my parents when they were raising me and my 3 siblings.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.
