Was that zinger one of the best bits of Mrs Browns Boys last season?
Having not watched Mrs Browns Boys I wouldn't know.

I don't read the Daily Mail but you think that is where I and many others on GC "get their news". I don't read the Metro, I only cut and paste pointless trivia from their website. Do you honestly think any of the comments I make on subjects like immigration and asylum are based on the output of the BBC?

Come along then Toby, now is your chance to shine. Where exactly to you get all of your facts from? What newspapers should we all be reading? If the BBC isn't to be trusted where should we get our news from? I am all for balance and would gladly take a look at your points of reference.

How's about it? Want to point us in the right direction?

Syria is sexy at the moment. Mention Syria and the press get themselves all in a knot, politicians are falling over themselves for another sound bite either standing up for Assad & Putin or condemning them for the atrocities against the Syrian people. They will all be last weeks' chip papers as soon as another conflict pops up. Does anyone give a f*ck about Iraq now? Anybody bothered about the re-emergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan? Nobody care about what goes on in Nigeria, Zimbabwe or even China?

Also, have you noticed all the 'refugees' have mobile phones? What sort of package are they all on? Does Carphone Warehouse do an asylum seekers sim card?
Some refugees come from nice homes with electricity and toilets and everything. Just because we bomb **** out of these homes doesn't mean they've left all their belongings behind.

Plus Google maps

Hacker News? And the Guardian? You dig me out and say there are other places to get news other than The Metro and Huffington Post yet you list Fark which has news links to The Metro and Huffington Post.

Pseudo left-wing nerd fodder, you might as well get your news from The Fortean Times like Kaiser.
