Quite.

They kept Randy Andy chained up in an outhouse while the orange fascist shitbag was visiting Windsor last month. Nobody wanted a photo of them together to hit the media.

Thoughts and prayers, Shaun.

(He didn’t get fired for putting up flags. He’s a supply teacher who works via a temp agency; a headteacher saw his presumably virulently racist social media posts and asked the agency not to send him to her school again, so now he’s spinning a sob story.)
Headline from Yorkshire Live: 'l lost my teaching job because I put up 150 British flags in my hometown’ Shaun Remmer lost his teaching assistant job after it was found he was putting flags up in Thirsk Screenshot of two paragraphs of an article from Yorkshire Live: "A week later, | arrive back home from Welburn Hall in York after having a good day and someone found out about the flags and spoke to the headmistress. The headmistress then saw that | posted about problems we have in the country (on social media) such as young girls getting raped. The post was all about children - as that is who | am trying to protect. "They basically said they do not want me back and no longer want me to work at the school because | am racist. | tried to get some work at another agency but they had heard what happened and they turned me down as they said it was a 'safeguarding issue’.

"Chess, the treasured-yet-troubled musical by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, first premiered at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre in 1988."

I know I keep saying this, but it's too bad stupidity isn't painful.

The open air theatre usually isn't expensive. And I have ticket credit, because the performance of 'Brigadoon' I was due to go to in August was cancelled becausse the weather was horrible, so I should be able to get into this for nothing. Or rather, for no additional outlay.

Meow.

It was never my favourite show, and I always thought the original production only really worked in what is now the Gillian Lynne Theatre - but Drew McOnie is a terrific choreographer, and ‘Cats’ in Regent’s Park could be a lot of fun.

She often wore hats before her death aged 79, but apparently she always wore them afterwards.

(I know, I know. “Ladbible” is short for “written by an idiot”.)
Stupid headline from Ladbible: “Heartbreaking reason Diane Keaton always wore hats following her death aged 79”..
