People with lovely views just cannot not say them. In a way it should be a blessing but then the BBC puts them on their flagship programs and refuses to call them dipshit nonces afterwards.

I take it if you're eating in public then the accepted thing to do is take the mask off for the duration and put it back on asap and ideally try not to eat in places where there are people if possible or at least not a lot of people right? Talking about like, a public park and not eating in at a restaurant (which I really miss and want to do but won't for quite awhile probably even with these incredibly generous Sunak vouchers).

You need to take lessons from niqab (face veil leaving only eyes free) wearers! Having visited a Wagamama with a friend in niqab eating noodles, it was a delicate operation. But the niqab hangs down loose doesn't fit round your chin.

Yeah his dad must have made some decent cash from acting. I just had a look at his IMDB, he doesn't seem to be hurting for work so we're all shocked that someone who has been "cancelled" hasn't been.

I'd assume that he was always a knob, it's just before QT, nobody knew who he was, so nobody was listening. Post QT, it's a mixture of arrogant bravado and the sly calculation that he can probably wrangle more money and publicity out of this than he could doing acting gigs.
I doubt it's even remotely that tactical, he just said something offensive on question time, got lovebombed by the alt right, now believes they're the good guys because they're the ones being nice and supporting him on patreon, and as a consequence has had his right wing opinions dragged as far right as they'll go.

Same as Glinner, don't give him credit for being some machievellian grifter, he's just an idiot who fell in with some vile people.

I’m not so sure if that’s a reasonable “escape route” anymore, the sun are hiding their circulation figures and it’s likely that it’s going to get financially worse and worse for right wing poo poo rags as the months go on

Yes, that's the one!

Yeah, if it was being more realistic them it'd probably show him being revived in hospital a while later while she's dead, but it works at getting across the idea of getting people to wear s seatbelt for other people's sake rather than their own, and for getting other people invested in the idea of making sure everyone is wearing one in the vehicle rather than 'my choice'.

The front of the skull is tougher than the back. If you headbutt someone who's grabbed you from behind, unless you break their nose you're more likely to stun yourself than them.

Also the knees (and full weight and momentum) of the rear passenger tent to get catapulted into the mid back of the driver which can crush their sternum against the seatbelt and/or gently caress up their spine. Effectively the person in front becomes the crumple zone of the person in back - this effect is magnified by the seatbelt pretensioner (which will be busy catapulting the driver back into their seat) and/or the airbag which is only meant to deal with slowing down one person, not two.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

This is someone who has decided to throw a tantrum, quit her job for "ideological reasons" all so she can go over to a right wing media outlet (Fox) and pick up a huge paycheck there.

Mark my words, within a month she will be portraying herself on the Right Wing media as a sensible centrist who was forced out due to cancel culture because she asked "reasonable questions."
