She's getting mixed reviews for her Highland Christmas show tonight. Not that I'd watch the auld witch. It seems she would use leftover cheese fondue as a dip for her roast potatoes. Pickled walnuts in her Ne'er Day steak pie? Is this bitch so out of touch with the cost of living crisis? Someone beat her about her privileged head with the kitchen utensils, just like she did with her own children when they were young. And...relax.

95 year old Bill Rodgers retired from the Lords yesterday: https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2023-12-13/debates/54AFA2F1-E711-423C-8C87-322576E60228/RetirementOfAMemberLordRodgersOfQuarryBank

Breathtaking. Tory MPs fighting for the retention of the Steel industry and fighting for NHS dentistry? Christ, it was less than 40 years ago the Tories were shutting steel mills across the country and privatising the dentistry service. Oops, did you make a mistake all the years ago? Meantime, Sunak still pushing the narrative that he is cutting taxes for working people when they will actually increase next year. Still thinking that when Rwanda is full after 100 deportations, that his scheme will be a deterrent to people on the boats. Fuck them all to Christmas hell. And a Happy New Year.

Nationality And Borders Act 2022. Illegal Migration Act 2023. Safety of Rwanda (Asylum And Immigration) Bill. FAIL. FAIL. Will probably not make it to law. Their record on this is about as poor as my showing year on year in the DDP. The hill they have already died on they are still climbing.

Who the hell are these people? Two famous Nanny Fayes? Ach, like the Sheikh thread, I'm giving up on this unless they have been in a real reality show. Whatever that is.

Nanny Faye a goner reportedly: https://www.tmz.com/2023/12/12/viral-great-grandmother-tiktok-nanny-faye-dead-dies-98/

Joy Webb got a Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/joy-webb-jwq8lt6fb

I considered her a couple of years ago. It seems she was a couple of years older than her Wiki suggested.

I seem to be living in a parallel universe where Shirley Anne Field has never been picked for the DDP! Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, The Entertainer (with Olivier!) and My Beautiful Laundrette!!!! For gawd's sakes! Always a pleasure to see, a British large and small screen icon. RIP, at least I'll miss you!

Shirley Anne Field being reported dead. Links to follow along with tribute.

Sunak's evidence to the COVID Inquiry is something akin to that scene in Fawlty Towers where Manuel has been instructed to forget everything about Basil's bet on the horses. "I know nothing, I forget everything. I'm from 10 Downing Street!" Nitwit! (also a Fawlty Towers reference).

I might have gone with "Looks Like He Didn't Make It"...

British songwriter Richard Kerr, the one who co-wrote Brandy for Scott English which became Mandy for Barry Manilow, reportedly dead: Also co-write I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again and Looks Like We Made It.

Someone had Elliott Erwitt here I believe.
