In which two JFDI knights of the shires take on the totalitarian PC Brigade and rescue a kid from slavery* who is destined to bring balance to the debate by killing anyone who's a bit lefty for his tastes.

*The sort of slavery that's quite nice really and he gets to ride in jet cars and things and TBH I can't see what they were complaining about, beats whatever shithole we found them in, you'd think they'd appreciate a bit of fresh air and exercise...

War on woke wind. Proper people walk towards a hurricane carrying a spanner.

Translation: I is tuff and you is a wet and a weed.

A very large tree came down, smashed part of the fence and missed the house by about 20 feet. I'm away, but my wife was there. Things are ok now and being fixed but I've a rather low tolerance for this bollocks right now.

Paul's upgraded a few people to middle class there. Lots of telephone customer service was done from home. Lots of blue collar people were furloughed too.

Sir Keir put out some decent trade union stuff a couple of weeks ago. Did Paul comment?

Did GB News not interview people via Zoom in the pandemic? What's the difference between that and bad "middle class work from home"?

Ah, did all go well with your trip to the US, Tubbs?

Yes, I certainly dealt with people who were providing customer service from home.

Here now. Bit of a fright on the Covid tests. All very smoothly done, results emailed to me and I couldn't log in. Wouldn't let me change password. Eventually I noticed there was a phone number. Very helpful woman (working from home!) told me it needed a special character in the password. It hadn't told me that.

Which part of the US are you visiting Tubbs?

Texas only, where my brother lives. Had a very nice time with him. I couldn't bear the politics there longer term though.

Some people have tried to get more black kids interested in chemistry. This is bad apparently.

Mr BTL Genius weighs in with "non linguists shouldn't be allowed to study classics". It's like Classical Studies hasn't existed for donkeys years.

For no reason whatsoever, I was thinking of Dorothy Luckhurst, the wife of that college master in Durham University who invited Rod Liddle along. How's she doing? Well, she's retweeting this. What a great free thinker she is.

You might spot a problem with what he graph says and what Toby says about. Try drawing a best fit line.

I would like to know who funds Toby Young?

Wingnut Welfare.

But how much of that is financed in roubles?

Quite, does he actually write for anyone?

As his actions disrupt the stability of the UK I would suggest Russia via Tufton Street.

Aren't "disruptors" terribly fashionable these days?

No ‘influencers’ are. But they’re not malevolent, just youngsters on Instagram wearing sponsored stuff AFAIK.

It's one of those bits of business school Jargon that the young MBA droids love to spout.
They want to be like Henry Ford.
They end up being like David Brent.

It's generally held that if you want to be an abstract artist you need to know how to paint and draw properly first. To break the rules, you have to know them. Too many "disruptors" believe "you can't handle my amazing and controversial ideas, so you're stunned into silence!",, while actually people are thinking "what a twat".
