Saw loads of these in the US earlier this year. One got confused by a large vehicle partly blocking a road it wanted to go down, so it just sat on the main road for ages, then reversed towards oncoming traffic. Good luck on those famously wide London streets...

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).
Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

Agree with @ricardoautobahn.co.uk - Philip needs to be a recurring ALFsplaining character

one of my favourite bits on here is where somebody does an earnest "why is the government/some prick doing this thing?" post and ends it by tagging james o'brien like they're telephoning le police.

Apparently, it's Mental Health Awareness Day, but I can't help but feel 15 solid years of scrounger rhetoric has made a mockery of it.

If you don't accept that mental illness is real and often profoundly disabling, then you're stoking continued ignorance. No accommodation can be made with that.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.
