that will burnish his "legend of bantz" rep with the countryside alliance/the dalesman/country living/fox-hunting classes, quite calculatedly tedious tbh.. what a *character*.. what a maverick etc vomit

I can't fathom why it took 16 years to design what looks like a lightly modified Land Rover

would be perfect if his coffin busted out of his incompetently modified vehicle at the top of a large hill smashed open and his adorable little corpse rolled all the way down

classic british media: posh scumbag's confident ideological bigotry, empowered by a lifelong immunity from consequence of any kind, is actually some kind of brave iconoclasm, characterised by a willingness to go for the gag (which is simultaneously funny and risky and harmless and apolitical) despite the opprobrium of the PC police or whatever. exact same shit that makes boris a thing

you know a journo/editor is feeling really brave if you get the word in scare quotes, attributed to others

It’s disgusting, can you imagine what would have happened to the person who would have responded ‘that’s a horrible, racist thing to say to someone else, especially a stranger.’
