@Megalomax - I've got to ask as it's been bothering me: what is that in your avatar?

[Megalomax]

That’s what banana bread looks like without its crust

It was a bit shit. It was all I had on my ‘phone at the time

To be fair, I thought it was a bit of battered cod draining at your local chippy!

Wasn't it a fatberg?

No visible Brexit fuckwits at that quintessentially British Last Night of the Proms. But many EU flags, and a Sikh in a Union Jack turban.

Oh, I can sense the foam around the mouths of newspaper editors now....

Just watching the second episode of BBC 2's Rise Of The Nazis. You can tell the scriptwriter had current affairs in their mind when they wrote:

"It's January 1933, and Germany has a new Chancellor. He refuses to engage in the boring day to day detail of running a country, he has no interest in the opinions of experts and refuses to read briefings. Instead, he tasks his team with a simple assignment; destroy democracy, and make him dictator."

Not big, not clever, but made me chuckle.

I do wish Brexiters would stop invoking the war. It's so completely embarrassing to witness:


'We saved Luxembourg in the war!' Iain Duncan Smith leads Brexiteer attack on 'rude' Xavier Bettel over extraordinary snub to Boris Johnson

Yebbut... IBS is just a... cunt, isn't he?

[cycloon]

Yawn.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

In his 'military' career IBS has always studiously avoided combat. Or, in fact, any responsibility at all.

*We* saved Luxembourg. That's the same *we* screaming blue murder last week because *we* didn't commit any massacre at Amritsar, so wit should *we* apologise?

History Today:

Luxemburg was liberated twice during the second world war.

The Germans initially withdrew without defending the country, though suffering attacks form Luxemburgish resisters.

Parts of the country were again overrun during Germany's "Battle of the bulge" offensive.
Those parts of the country was liberated a second time by the counterattacking American third army.

Postwar Luxemburg abandoned its policy of neutrality and committed troops to the allied occpation forces in Germany.

You see that Ian Duncan Smith.
He never fought a Jerry in his life.
