    Sadly the headline wasn't Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson to finally acknowledge one of his children exists

    Seeing as how the baby is due in June they've clearly been waiting a while for the best opportunity to use it.... And they don't come much better than this one...

    Police called to Carrie Symonds' flat: June 2019
    Likely date of conception: September 2019

    I wonder what happened between his attempting to assault her and needing to get her up the duff?

    Trump blames the Democrats for the Corona-virus. Who is Boris blaming?

    Are they both related I wonder?

    It's the EU's fault, obviously, as they have that early warning system yet people are still sick in Italy

    ...sort of like how radar was a waste of time in WWII, as the Luftwaffe still bombed the **** out of us so obviously we'd have been better off with no warning at all

    If that's what happens, there's only one way to respond: take to the streets and protest

    ...oh wait, that's what they'd do in France or Italy, countries where meek compliance isn't enforced by the use of the term "stiff upper lip"

    Chris Matthews of Hardball resigns. Trump toadies behind this without a doubt!

    I find the BBC coverage of this story troubling, specifically this part

    Chris Matthews, a veteran host at liberal cable channel MSNBC, said Monday's Hardball show was his last.

    So quick question: if a Fox News anchor resigns in disgrace (again...) would be BBC use the phrase "propaganda-spewing right wing echo chamber Fox News" and, if not, why not?

    He's resigned because he was going to get suspended for some old comments that he made to female colleagues, apparently.
    I thought it might have been because of his dodgy Nazi comparison to Bernie Sanders, but it's not about that, by all accounts.

    Apparently one of the symptoms of COVID-19 is causing people to completely forget about Priti Patel bullying somebody to the point where they attempted suicide...

    Didn't take long for those standing with Priti (because they'd get a kicking if they didn't) to play that card...

    The technical answer is that detection technology was way ahead of interception technology. Within a year or two there was airborne radar and dedicated night fighters - though the threat was much diminished by then. But even then radar was not a waste because it gave early warning of attack and enabled people to get to the shelters.

    On the plus side, the beer will be heavily discounted for a while. It ain't that bad.
