Six-year-old Hind Rajib - hardly a surprise given the amount of time spent fruitlessly searching for her since the phone call she made describing nearby Israeli tanks, but her body's been found now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68261286

Aw man, an absolute legend of late night radio and the generally alternative. Has greatly outlived the predictions made by doctors when he fell from a window and landed himself in a wheelchair.

Dead of 2024 (probably) include Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, according to Met Police anyway: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-68255937
Found myself wondering if his facial burns had gone gangrenous yet, probably worrying needlessly on his behalf, then.

A shoo-in for every redneck vote at that moment, then

If that's the only reason how about they ditch Biden and get Stormy Daniels to stand?

80 years old on May 8th - cupcake in his cell on the segregated wing, then - whaddya give a disgraced old pop star who can't use the cash he's stashed - maybe new batteries for the hearing aids?
Enjoy!

If you want what has to be a bottom 10 song ever recorded, here's The Strawbs' seminal left-wing rabble-rouser "Part of the Union" covered by... Jim Davidson.
Thanks, I think
Incidentally, it pains me to say Darryl Bullock is now making so much money as a best selling author he's packed up his weekly digest of audio shite - because I found loads of left field gems after hearing his show.

You're really not cut out for political commentary.
But a short and lucrative spell on GB News is probably there for the taking!

Roger Waters' late life ranting himself into a business cul-de-sac continues.

Yeah, that works - Workington haven't been higher than the third tier (and that was over 50 years ago), I'm thinking that's a place that needs a future!

Oh aye, the player who at 20 years old was - allegedly - harassing a 15-year-old girl online.

The front row of Popular Conservatives in full - add your own captions before the front page of Private Eye gets in there
And the report with the ironic twist that Truss, who was the marquee turn at this gig, remains one of the least popular politicians in the country according to pollsters: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68218299

OOOhhh
Trump DOESN'T have presidential immunity when it comes to the alleged incitement preceding storming of the Capital. This'll now go appeal and probably the Supreme Court with the 6-3 majority he helped install. The gist of this being whether what he did actually fell within his presidential duties. Of course, if a president can do anything with impunity Biden could likely send a SWAT team to kill Trump and claim it as part of his presidential duties.

Considering all the interest in Esther Rantzen I am surprised Joan (who sounded a little weak) has not gathered more traction here
She's a fookin' tart (arf!)

Kwarteng's the latest to announce he's gone at the next election. Clearly no by-election but this does smack of their private polling being absolutely dire and the suggestion that once safe seats will topple. Quite a few now optiing to avoid a Portillo moment. In other news the monarchy likely did Liz Truss a favour, gifting her a few days to look prime ministerial around the death of the Queen. So, it's sort of balanced out today with PopCon (Popular Conservatism) having a press launch and josting for media attention with the wave of concern for the King's health.
Oh aye, Kwarteng: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-68214536

Apologies for being a bit tardy with this but in line with every winner since the second title holder Banana has seen fit to ask for a charitable donation - Britiain's biggest organization providing foodbank services is now a few quid better off.
Who said we were sickos, eh?

For those unfamiliar with the unique legend that is Chad Morgan, it's this guy. Actually older than Willie Nelson, albeit by a few weeks

They also said there was no alternative to Boris and then a few months later that we had to rally behind Truss.
