Depends who replaces Starmer but I'd say "no"

Australia has a pretend relationship with Asia. It's meant to be a region of geostrategic importance but in reality, most people view it as a holiday destination. As for Ukraine - it's in Europe, and generations of aussies have been told that Europe is some backwards shithole that doesn't matter.

Holy shit, I didn't notice the absence of Life of Brian. Quite possible some teenage intern confused it with Holy Grail, which sits at #6. Seems about the right place for Brian.

I'm a vegetarian. I think it's stupid to refer to things that aren't meat as meat. I also think the EU has a million other more fucking important things to do

Makes no sense, particularly with Naked Gun at number one. Also, Fargo's apparently now a comedy.
