If you're using a combine harvester on a chicken farm, you're probably doing it wrong.

Jeremy Clarkson, "A tractor, Β£200k, a combine, Β£500k, the equipment costs a fortune, and if you try to price what you're selling there's just a lot of moaning"
"You get people saying, I'm not going to pay that, I can get a chicken from abroad. Yeah, you can. But it's so full of chlorine, it tastes like a swimming pool with a beak"
"There's very little money in farming, very little... And then, we got the budget"
"I know a lot of people took a kick on the shin with that budget.. You lot got a knee in the nuts"
"Rachel Reeves has told us 72% of farms are going to be unaffected by this"
"I've just been interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire from Newsnight.. She was trotting out nobody is affected, Rachel Reeves said so"
"Since when was the BBC the mouthpiece of this infernal government?"
"For the sake everybody here and for all the farmers stuck at home paralysed over a fog of despair of whats been hoisted upon them.. I beg of the government to be big, to accept that this was rushed through, it wasn't thought out, it was a mistake"
"That's the big thing to do, admit it, and back down"

The right-wing media (Aug.-Oct. 2024): "How dare Starmer accept donations and freebies - it stinks of corruption and sleaze!"
The RW media (Nov. 2024): "How dare Starmer snub the tradition of an honorary (free) club membership - he's spitting in the face of all golfers!"

Who wants to take a bet that - if the Trumps ever leave Pennsylvania Avenue - it will turn out there's a discrepancy between the value of tariffs levied by US Customs and the figures reported by the US Treasury?

When it collapsed - due to someβ¦errβ¦ alternative accounting practices - the black hole left behind by Enron was about US $75 billion.

I want to know why Elon Musk was afraid he'd go to prison if Trump lost

After just one part, the #Dispatches special on royal finances on @Channel4 has me wanting to brick the television.

Nothing says "I'm relaxed about my voter numbers and confident about winning the election!" than fantasising about having the critics from your own party executed by a firing squad and launching a frivolous and vexatious $10bn (!) lawsuit against a major TV network.

Florida has a population of 600,000 people of Haitian background and 5.5 million Hispanics which includes 1.1 million people with a Puerto Rican background.
The GOP's leading Skeletor tribute act won his US senate seat in Florida by 10,000 votes.

James is right.
Time for the Streisand Effect to be used for good.

It would be amusing if someone at @washingtonpost leaked the editorial endorsing Harris that was apparently spiked. It would now get far more readers than it would have otherwise.

Ironic, considering Amazon started life as the world's biggest bookstore, that Jeff Bezos as propretor of WaPo appears to be missing a spine. Kitty Graham and Ben Bradlee would be spinning in their graves at Bezos' craven cowardice.

Is everybody looking forward to the wit and wisdom of 'Dame' Andrea Jenkyns on tomorrow night's #hignfy ?

'Malcolm' calling into @mrjamesob smashing the likes of 'Honest Bob' Jenrick - "he's just a chiseller" - out of the park on @LBC.

Watching the Milly Dowler documentary on Channel 5 reminds anybody blessed with the gift of critical thinking that the press - particularly the Murdoch titles - got off lightly for phone hacking .
Labour really should commit to #Leveson2 and regulatory reform of the press.

Farage's story as to why he hasn't opened a constituency office and why he doesn't hold surgeries is indicative of an unwillingness to take the responsibilities of his role seriously.
It also doesn't explain why he isn't responding to constituents' e-mails and letters.

FUN FACT: Haitian immigrants started moving to Springfield, OH in 2018 and continued all through Trumpβs presidency because Springfield opened their communities to more immigrants to help rebuild its economy.
Thatβs right, thousands of legal Haitian immigrants moved to on Trumpβs watch.
Funny how OH Senator JD Vance was unaware of this fact. Or did he just lie?

Of course, all of these studies that have been cited since 2017 normally only focus on the differential between a *single* year with Brexit and its Remain doppelgΓ€nger.
Fact is that sometime in the late 30s/early 40s, the UK will cumulatively have lost an entire year of GDP.

Satire?
Humour?
Or just observable reality?
