One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/4

The west arguing over what’s north or south is like two bald men arguing over a comb. It’s not complicated.

Hirokuma, a bear who turned yellow after eating too many lemons, is the mascot of Hiroshima Pefecture. He actually smells of lemons in person.

Thought I’d share this because it’s such a fantastic photo. Will explain more below. But basically it’s from an album found in a chazza. Look at these fellas.

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
English Roundabouts
 
They’re making the roundabouts great again 
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile. 

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Tax aside, this is objectively a very sad end to Rayner’s political career: a teenage single mum from a deprived family who went onto be deputy prime minister. The right wing press detested her for not knowing her place. Their glee at her downfall will be palpable in tomorrow’s front pages.

As Rory Bremner observes, if only Angela Rayner had followed the Telegraph’s advice. Then they might not call her a hypocrite.
