Or at least give them proper bungs like in the good old days.

PIGEONS SHIT ON UNION FLAG

getting off to a flying start

holy hell what a url

Tube workers are paid £42,500-a-year considerably more than British soldiers laying their life down for Queen and country in Afghanistan.

See, to me this is an argument for saying that if the armed forces aren't happy with the way the government treats them they ought to unionise and fight for better pay and conditions rather than pulling lorries with their teeth thru shopping centres on a Saturday.

Maybe pulling a lorry with your teeth is good training for when you have to go and drive tube trains.

Is this some elaborate hoax?

At the slightest hint of industrial action he should have sent in the Army to take over the underground. And you know what. The tubes might then even run on time.

MUSSOLINI HAD THE RIGHT IDEA.

aw, they've fixed that blip:

also, and i don't wanna be a bastard or anything, but in my experience tube trains running in London have been considerably more useful to me than some guys laying down their lives for the Queen and Country in Afghanistan, so on a pure cost-benefit level the disparity in pay seems fair.

cos as I see it, that's the Market at work. ARE YOU SAYING YOU HATE THE MARKET, ANDREW "STALIN" PIERCE??

sorry wrong link

I'm guessing that guy can't really get down to the specifics of his grievance because it might prejudice his totally useful and groundbreaking lawsuit... but that basically makes him writing about it completely pointless as he doesn't really say anything?

his link to support "women are more likely to initiated domestic violence" comes from TheHappyMisogynist's youtube channel.

Dude stuck it out at the LSE for 6 weeks, must've been hell.

Only alerted to this via my sister:

Readers’ Editor, Chris Elliott, announced recently that, instead of using the current, and accurate, rape conviction rate of 6.5%, journalists would “use the figure of 13% as the benchmark.”

This represents the combined total of convictions for rape and other ‘sexual offences’, a less serious category of crime.

Nice bit of trolling by The Guardian.

His plan marks the latest revamp for a title that has struggled for the past 10 years, as its stock in trade of titillating images became freely available online, from the mainstream Mail Online to adult sites.

So, this Daily Mail advert at 5:53, then...
