He wasn't driving, in a situation which acts as a kind of metaphor fro the plight of Prince Harry, he was being driven by an American woman of dubious ethnicity.

Kind of mildly fascinated by Andrew Lawrence, who started out as a pretty good* character comic on Radio 4, then had a few meltdowns on social media and decided he wasn't getting gigs on TV because feminism - the real reason seems to be that the freaky furious weasely "character" was in fact his genuine personality. Since then he has made a complete fool of himself on Twitter, saying appalling things, having gigs cancelled, inevitably making this part of his act and finally finding a home with the Andrew Doyle crowd. He does these videos in character as a thug in which you are supposed to agree with him, Jonathan Pie style, but the thug "character" is played with open contempt for the kind of people he's portraying. He seems to be counting on his target audience to not twig this. *may not be pretty good, I listened to the series once, 13 years ago.

they are now on traffic reduction schemes... which is even more WTF?
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2023/jan/10/why-do-traffic-reduction-schemes-attract-so-many-conspiracy-theories
A march against the traffic filters plan took place on Sunday in Oxford under the banner of Not Our Future, a new group led by 80s pop duo turned anti-vaxxers Right Said Fred

A woman in my work, who seems prone to conspiracy theories, was going on about this thing in Oxford too. It's all about how "they" are now using the false climate emergency to control us.

Piers Corbyn is involved. Inevitably.
― A Drunk Man Looks At Partick Thistle (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 January 2023 15:44 (one year ago) link
it's the latest thing for right-wing psychos to get involved in apparently, as the article mentions Oxford councillors have been getting death threats as a rsult of the conspiracy theories about the traffic reduction scheme there. Where I live in Haringey it seems to be the sole issue that Conservative councillors campaign on- the right to drive your car wherever you damn well like, regardless of the consequences.

of course it should be said that local government may not always proceed by de jure conspiracy but i've little sympathy for local councillors protesting that any benefits that accrue to them thru their jobs are purely accidental and unwelcome

The expression ‘turbo cancer’ has entered common parlance since the rollout of the vaccine, so whilst its poss that cancers r not ‘caused’ by the vaccine they maybe exacerbated by it.

I've come to the conclusion that Allister Heath and Ross Clark are the two most batshit columnists at the Daily Telegraph - amongst fierce competition it must be saud. This little pearl is from the latter's column on how "Suella Braverman could be the most successful home secretary in recent history":
... deep within the attacks on her and the Government’s Illegal Migration Bill lies the assumption that Rwandans are incapable of providing a safe, civilised environment in which to process asylum applications and a home where genuine refugees can rebuild their lives. True, Rwanda experienced a genocide within living memory...

I'm always a bit intrigued at some of the absurd names of journalists on the Telegraph-Spectator spectrum. I mean, Sophia Money-Coutts - it's like a parody name that even Private Eye would consider too obvious. And then I ventured across a piece on 'woke' in the Spectator by a journalist named Panda La Terriere. Panda La Terriere, for God's sake! I googled her, she's apparently the great-granddaughter of Evelyn Waugh, so keeping the right-wing bigotry all in the family I guess. And no surprise, Money-Coutts is indeed a member of the Coutts banking dynasty.

In a world where followers of Gramsci have seized control of virtually all institutions, winning elections or referenda isn’t enough. The blob must be defeated.
