So now we have ex Tory ministers in the Lords, former supreme court judges, and 750 other legal experts, all calling for a halt to arms sales to Israel. And what do we hear from Labour? The same pitiful, cowardly garbage we've had from the start of this so called conflict. It makes a sick kind of se...

So, the Kipper are just doing Harry Enfield, but seriously? Heh.

Well I tried to have a sober Thursday evening with the absence of QT but Man Utd have driven me to drink.

Oh no, The Guardian is radicalising young ladies!! I honestly don't know where to start with this, if it wasn't from the Telegraph I'd genuinely think it was satire. The Left has no problem with radicalisation when they’re the ones doing it - Michael Deacon Instead of vowing to combat the influence ...

Ah so this is how the Israelis have managed to murder civilians with such speed and in such numbers that since WWII the only conflict to exceed their bloodthirsty efficiency is the Rwandan genocide.

I recall chilly weather in August being called 'backend-ish', hadn't noticed it had fallen out of use until you mentioned it. It's been completely eradicated according to the same bit of research that gave us the scone map. I can't remember ever hearing it so it must have already been on its way ou...

The correct answer. Indeed. However I was quite surprised by the Cambridge scone map placing the epicentre of saying scone wrong in the South and East of Yorkshire along with Derbyshire. I'd expect a expect a 'scown' in Pateley Bridge or Richmond rather than Sheffield or Hull. [Edited to say...] Ah...

That's all very well, but more importantly how do you pronounce scone? Because there's only one proper way.

Emmerdale's gone woke! I don't watch it myself, but my mate's ex was a scriptwriter and story editor on Emmerdale and if she's anything to go by 'woke' is a term insufficiently weighty to describe how left wing the writing staff are.

We seem to have a bit of a birthday bonanza going on. To be honest being born on April fools day does help somewhat when viewing life as one big cosmic joke.

Spent much of the day in Harewood, one of the few areas of Leeds that votes Tory. After a wander round the grounds of the country house my friend and I sought refreshment in the local tavern.

Matthew Parris is at it again I see. Nothing does more for the cause of assisted dying like saying euthanising the old and infirm is a 'good thing' because we can't afford to care for them.

Ok so I've just watched a clip from last weeks QT where Rod Liddle gets schooled by a school counsellor when he tries to claim mental health problems aren't caused by poverty because poor people in poorer countries are much happier than we are.

The controversy of the evening was of course around Ben Houchen. The woman in pink is the wife of the Airport Director, who's also there.

Liddle has also got worse rather than better over time, back in the noughties he did have some redeeming features.

He is a charmless nerk. Now now AK, he's far from charmless, he had the commons in stitches, even Sunak was laughing and I bet there were plenty on Starmer's back benches who were chuckling to themselves, If the Labour front bench keep offering him open goals what's he supposed to do?
