The year is 2040. AI Trump rules half the world, Clorox is running the msc memorial Deadpool, and James Whale is still saying he's only got one more Christmas this time.

Now. (For a week at least).

Not to break up the thread by discussing the king's health, but from this week's Popbitch:

Her name sounds like "rigor mortis" !

Carl Erskine dead at 97 and straight to QO.

From the FT describing Truss: "Unfortunately, her approach worked a bit like this: imagine a bunch of people are stuck in a warm, stuffy room together. Everyone wants the windows to be opened, but they are fastened shut by complicated locks. While people try to work out how the locks operate, one of them, Liz, attempts to throw a chair through the window. The chair bounces off and hits her in the face."

Baseball Hall of Famer Whitey Herzog, Former Manager of the Cardinals, dead at 92.

It will be a laugh if Jimmy calves this week

Allman Brothers Band guitarist, Dickey Betts, dead at 80.

Harry Howorth, reportedly the last survivor of those who landed on Sword Beach at Normandy and Legion d'Honneur recipient, reported dead aged 103: BBC news report from 2023: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-66069523

You've been a member for about a year and a half, and for there or thereabouts a year and a half of that, you've been a twat.

Karen Rigmor Moritz, oldest person of Denmark dead at 110

Once again something said without a hint of irony from Lizzie

German former professional footballer and world cup winner Bernd Hölzenbein, who played as a striker, died at 78 years: https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt/tot-mit-78-eintracht-frankfurt-trauert-um-weltmeister-hoelzenbein-87900948.bild.html At international level, he was a member of the Team that won the World Cup 1974.

Sunak giving a speech on welfare. (Quelle surprise, those dirty benefits recipients). He has, give him his due, outlined the complete failure of this Government to tackle underlying issues of people ending up on benefits. Let me give him a clue or two. Many people who are working are still on benefits. And using food banks. The rights of workers have been stripped away. Employers are struggling with the downturn in growth and Brexit consequences. People are unable to access GP appointments and healthcare quickly. The lack of investment in mental health support has caused issues. Your sanctions regime caused the death of hundreds. There hasn't been job security in this country since the mid-1980s. Childcare support is already out of reach or unavailable to many. He has the audacity to talk about benefit fraud being treated like tax fraud. Maybe if tax fraud was cracked down upon like benefit fraud already is, things would be different. The man is so out of touch with how people are actually struggling to get by day to day under this pathetic bunch of multi-millionaires.
