"Fancy a weekend in Newcastle?"
"Yeah, great!"
"Travel, accommodation, food and drink should cost us about £500."
"OK, but what about the tourism tax?"
"Puts it up to £505."
"No chance we're paying that!"

Spotted on Ke Huy Quan in a recent Zootopia 2 photocall: a Blue Peter Badge!! He was interviewed on the show in 1984 about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. This is adorable.

Die Hard but the villain is the Home Office and it gets destroyed by Bruce Willis
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Yet again, I am going to ask everyone to look at the 'farmers' hands driving the tractors / being interviewed in this protest.
If they have soft hands they are not farmers, they are tax dodging managers. Farmers have giant sausage fingers covered in cuts.

damn, well I'm sure the MET will come down on them with the same enthusiasm they have for arresting climate protestors
It's looking as if the farmers protest in Whitehall today have ignored the police request not to bring their tractors.
