I'm pretty certain that the huge, middle-England responses to censuses of garden birds and mammals that we see from time to time indicate that his readership aren't with him on that one.

Great Crested Newts certainly put spanners in the works during the "New Town" development of Peterborough... thank Heavens Ended up with better green spaces.

Littlejohn writes for the sort of person who thinks that any sort of display of empathy or caring for someone outside your immediate family is akin to the worst sort of "poovery" imaginable. Mindset of the playground bully.

I see it was the Thatcher goverment in 1981 that introduced the endagered speicies protection laws. She had good instincts about her people in Middle England . Thatcher never extended the full force of the free market to loss making rural post offices, red phone boxes and railway stations.

Always make sure enough people were happy with you. That was her way.

Wouldn't expect DUP creationists to wear masks. Or the Tories who aren't creationists but self centred wankers.

It's a tired joke, indeed, but some of those folks ought to be grateful for the opportunity to hide their boats.

Showbiz for ugly people.

A face made for radio

Big Wee Ian in the background there. British Politics' own cockroach, absolutely unkillable and thick with shit

One of the few Tories who was masked was the Rt. Hon. Member for Maidenhead. Couple that with a pretty good speech laying into the pork haystack and I'm beginning to wonder if she wasn't so bad after all.

Yes, I know she was, but this is just evidence of how far we've fallen.

Like John Major, it shows the incompetence of their successors.

Not as bad as Johnson and Cameron is praise so faint you need a radio telescope to detect it. May is cut from a different cloth to the other two by having a sense of duty to public office instead of entitlement.

A wise move, considering she's a Type I diabetic.

(Yes, I know most masks are designed to protect others from you, not you from others)

Great effort here from another of the class of 2019.

It's worse than it sounds from this. Somebody calling themselves James O'Brien left a snarky comment on Dominic Raab's sponsored skydive page. Richardson tweets "James O'Brien is an arse as is well known but putting that on Dominic Raab's page..." She claimed she didn't mean the James O'Brien, and probably thought that was the end of it. She was then asked who this other well-known James O'Brien was. Oh dear. Hence this-

Tories trying to rally the base here. This is good tactics if you're running in Alabama.

I don't know what to say

Vishnu on a fucking velocipede.

Just when you think the grotesque pantomime that is the Tory government can't get any worse, they throw something like this into the mix.

Being good at hitting things with a bat and being a total Brexit bore are such transferrable skills.
