(hence womb-man)

Has the Labour party descended to the level of repeating old Alf Garnett quotes now?

Addressing staff on her arrival on Monday, incoming BBC News CEO Deborah Turness stated the importance of viewers being able to trust what they see on BBC News.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want someone on the panel who represents non-Tories in a show where

Impartiality had been achieved by interviewing both Conservative leadership candidates and including Boris Johnson’s former deputy chief of staff Cleo Watson on the guest panel.

People would lose trust in the BBC if they had someone on who said what everyone was thinking!

All true. Every home secretary manages to be even worse than the previous one but listen to the news and all you hear is how culturally diverse this new cabinet is despite so many of them being awful.

Four humans, no goal
No mission
No heart, no soul
No solution
No flash of light
No god, no vision

No flesh, no bone, just true religion
No voice, no hope, no real decision
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Give me one vision, please

We’re going to have the next Prime Minister chosen by a very small group of elderly people during a heatwave, and it’s got to be either Rishi Sunak, a guy whose greatest desire in life is to be pegged by Thatcher’s ghost, or Liz Truss, who would be the first Prime Minister to forget to breathe and just die.

All the rumors flying about seem to suggest you should make sure to lay in a large supply of media on download and turn off everything live for the next while. Could be a rough weekend. I suggest torrenting a stack of films and stocking up on food so you don’t have to go out either.

ETA I see there are official announcements now so ignore me.
