I’m not a fan of AI art generally, but it does have its uses now and again. I didn’t tell it to add all the little signs and labels, just the main caption. It did all the rest itself.
Create a satirical, cartoon-style illustration inspired by the classic opening scene of the classic British children's TV show Mr Ben. Replace the Mr Ben with Count Binface, wearing his recognizable silver costume and helmet, with a bowler hat on top. Replace the mysterious shopkeeper with Nigel Farage, standing behind the counter wearing striped trousers, a waistcoat and a red fez.. The scene should evoke the cozy, whimsical feel of the original opening shop interior. Add a caption at the bottom in a playful vintage TV title-card style that reads: “Mr Binface entered the by-election, and as if by magic The Grift-keeper appeared.”

Now here’s a thought. Letters to Rachel Reeves anyone.



can farage appointment to the chiltern hundreds be blocked
蹦 +1
Yes, the appointment can be blocked. Because Members of Parliament cannot directly resign, they must be granted a historic "office of profit under the Crown"-such as the Chiltern Hundreds. By convention, this is usually granted automatically upon request, but it requires the approval of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who could legally refuse to issue the appointment. 

If the Chancellor were to block the appointment, Farage would remain the MP for Clacton.

Historically, these appointments are treated as a formality, making a refusal politically and constitutionally controversial, but there is no legal requirement that forces the Chancellor to rubber-stamp it.

As The Sun* would say “Phew what a Scorcher” *Other more reputable publications are available** Pretty much all of them tbf*** *** Apart from the Daily Mail obvs.
It's Friday and it's 33 degrees. The council estates are lively. The paddling pools have appeared from absolutely nowhere. Every front garden has one that's 80% duct tape and 20% hope. There's at least six kids in it, one Staffy, and someone's uncle cooling his cans in the same water. The shirtless blokes have emerged like they're migrating for summer. White as a packet of Richmond sausages by 9am, bright red by lunchtime, still insisting, "I don't burn, me."
The smell outside is a fascinating mix of sun cream, Lynx Africa, meat and potato pies, and someone's wheelie bin that's been cooking nicely in the heat since Monday. Someone's bought a £12
fan from B&M and is acting like they've installed full air conditioning. Meanwhile someone's nan is sat in the conservatory wearing a cardigan saying, "It's not that warm." The local Facebook group's in meltdown. Half the posts are "Who's dog is this?" The other half are people moaning about kids playing outside. "Can they not scream?" Karen, it's the first sunny Friday we've had in about eight months. They're feral now. Accept it.
Meanwhile some fellas washing his Corsa with Fairy Liquid while blasting donk loud enough for three postcodes to enjoy. By tonight there'll be at least two blokes arguing over whose turn it is to buy more lager, someones kid will have lost a of tooth, and an air ambulance will probably be landing because Brian thought it'd be a good idea to do a backflip off the shed roof into two feet of water.

Douglas Adams was right again. The Electric Monks are here. uk.news.yahoo.com/world-first-...
A quote from Douglas Adams about the Electric Monk.

High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse…..

The Electric Monk was a labor-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder.

Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.

…..The Monk currently believed that the valley and everything in the valley and around it, including the Monk itself and the Monk’s horse, was a uniform shade of pale pink.

This made for a certain difficulty in distinguishing any one thing from any other thing, and therefore made doing anything anything or going anywhere impossible, or at least difficult and dangerous.

Hence the immobility of the Monk and the boredom of the horse, which had had to put up with a lot of silly things in its time but was secretly in the opinion that this was one of the silliest.
