There is much I enjoy about MobLand, but possibly most of all, the way the entire plot is just ‘Tom Hardy drives to multiple appointments in a day.’

‘Charles didn’t actually like Diana very much!’ is a strange thing to be shocked by isn’t it, what with their being divorced. Has our press met divorced people they’re rarely each others comms team & hype men

If like me, you think street poo collecting is the off putting part of having a dog, I’ve just passed a woman WetWiping a Yorkie’s dirty bunghole post its al fresco defecation. It’s cats for me, thanks

The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something

much enjoying The Agency: S2 but the script sounds like this. ‘Smoke this guy out. And I mean fire up the barbecue, turn him into brisket. I want him served in buns.’ ‘But sir he’s up a tree - and he’s built a whole tree house up there’ ‘Did I just hear you complain or do I need my ears syringed’

Obviously Reform were let down by a poor candidate in Makerfield, and all they need to do to achieve future success is to be certain only to pick candidates from the overlapping area in this Venn diagram.

A Venn diagram with two regions; one labelled "Not sexist, racist, homophobic, or a clear grifter", and the other labelled, "Wants to stand as a Reform candidate"
There is no overlap between the two regions. However, they are touching. Would the joke be better if they were miles apart? I did contemplate it, but then I thought there will be some people who would fit into the first region but would still be the kind of cunts who'd stand for Reform if they thought it was a route to power and, in the words of Yes, Prime Minister, found people taking them seriously just because they had the letters "MP" after their name.
Then I had the more urgent thought that I was overthinking a joke that would get 4 likes and, with a following wind, a pity RT, so I just left it with the circles touching and then started writing this essay, which hardly seems to be a more valuable use of my time. Anyway, if you've read this far then you're probably my best hope of that pity RT, and God bless you for that.
