Why, what did he do?

Since when have they ever been fucking “inflation-linked”??? Other than the inflation that affects yacht prices for their CEOs, these greedy fucks just want to nick whatever cash they can get and fuck the rest. Arseholes.

Reckon he’ll be the guy who buys the NHS next, or will that be some other wealth hoarding pre-corpse?

Glad there’s literally nothing more important that our dickhead politician class could be working on 👍

As interesting as it was to see KMag hold up the pack to give space for Hulk, I do wish drivers had to serve their penalties in the race, in a timely manner. With 20 seconds of penalties, his race was basically run. I get that it’s teamwork and why he did it etc., but it just feels very very cynical

Fuck right off

Can we please just not be fucking ripped off for once? Can we have ONE thing that doesn’t extort us?

I bloody love a good night out, but I am really not a fan of being rinsed. I know it’s London prices and whatever, but the closest pub to me is £6.70 for a pint that isn’t Carling, and something nuts like £8 for a double voddy. Couple that with a pack of cigs (£15) and maybe a cheeky little kebab at the end of the night (£10) and you’re looking at an easy £75 - £100 for one fun night.

It’s rough, because I really do love to socialise. Nowadays I don’t drink or smoke for the first half of the year because they’re too expensive as habits. If I want to go out in the evening to wind down after work and catch up with friends, I don’t want to pay £20 to sit in the pub for an hour or two and then go home - but I can’t reasonably afford to do much more than that – so sod the whole thing.

Jesus, this is still going? I think I’d quite like to see a version that isn’t broadcast, and where the unsuccessful candidates get thrown into a woodchipper. Along with the successful ones.

obviously

Honestly, I love this. I think it’s fun!

What a total shock! I really thought Rishi was being honest when he said Rosebank would benefit young people, and I’m even more stunned that the King’s Speech wasn’t totally accurate. Wow!

I guess, personally, I just feel like a lot of these incredibly rich and obviously out of touch old men are just totally irrelevant to normal daily life for most people. It’s pointless to publish news like this, because it’s just obviously meant to rile people up in some vague way and I guess somehow that generates money for the Guardian?

I just don’t understand why we have to hear about what these irrelevant, hopefully soon-departed losers think. Who cares?

Wow, what a surprise! Looking forward to those well-deserved consequences that he’ll definitely be facing 👍

I don’t disagree with you, and I’d find it hard to comment on exactly how the digital marketing arm of the BBC works when it comes to view counts and how it affects their content, cos I just don’t know. I was just clarifying for you what I thought OP meant.

I do agree that you’re not self-censoring by choosing to post things you think people will be interested in, though!

I think the gist is that OP feels like people visiting sites like BBC News are essentially providing the Marketing department at BBC News with view counts, which they’d use to help guide them on what to report on or suppress, and the visitors were incidentally fueling a sort of subtle censorship just by reading the news.

Although please feel free to correct me if I’m putting words in your mouth, OP!

There’s a few French models, from what I’ve heard

innit bad luck to open an umbrella indoors?
