Just saw an advert for the new electric Range Rover. Having owned a Land Rover in the past I'm presuming they've managed to make the batteries in a way that will inevitably fail after about 70k miles to keep that authentic LR feeling?

After the absolute shitshow that was the worlds response to COVID, I am genuinely worried that a plague outbreak could actually be apocalyptic.

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Just saw a report about the “spontaneous demonstration” in Portsmouth last night. Anyone who has ever organised a stag do will know how hard it is to get a group of young males who actually know each other to turn up at the same place and time for fun activities. Who is funding this?

I have to preface this by saying these paramilitaries should have met a Policing style usually reserved for pensioners with pro-Palestinian placards, but… They appear to be marching with a Saxon “Ut! Ut! Ut!” chant. Are they channeling the Saxons or was it a coincidental grunting?

As we see results of the local elections across England continue to come in, it’s clear that First Past the Post is failing voters – with some councils bearing little resemblance to how people actually voted. It doesn’t need to be this way. It’s time to scrap First Past the Post in England.

Developers give players too many customisation options when creating a character sometimes and it leads to cut scenes looking utterly ridiculous.

Happy Ēostre! Prints of this comic (and others) available in my shop - link in bio
Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone.

BECKY [on phone]: 
Yeah, hiya...

2
BECKY:
Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs.

3
BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]:
Sorry what was your name again?

4
[Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a normal human teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.]

PAGAN GODDESS:
Eostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility

5
BECKY
Sorry -
Your name is Easter…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
Eostre.

6

[Vicky pauses, trying to take this in]. 

VICKY:
Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs.

7
PAGAN GODDESS:
Sorry love, what’s your name?

BECKY:
Becky

PAGAN GODDESS:
Well, Vicky -

8
PAGAN GODDESS:
If it was you who’d shagged the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to an actual living god - my son Darren here -

TEENAGE BOY:
Muuum…

9
PAGAN GODDESS:
….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too!

10
PAGAN GODDESS:
Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival!

11
BECKY:
You mean… Jesus…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
I mean shagging, Vicky.

12
PAGAN GODDESS:
Is it too much to see  just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4?

TEENAGE BOY:
MUUUUM

Recently I picked up a used PS4 to play some of those games I’ve missed over the years as an Xbox gamer. Just finished Spider-Man and that was great but yesterday I started Ghost of Tsushima and it’s the first time in years I’ve had a game hook me in like this.

My predictions for the #6Nations this year: France will probably win it, but only after making it look hard. England will bottle it spectacularly. Ireland will break my heart, Scotland will break their own. Wales will sing their way to fourth and Italy will win one game and take home the spoon.
