Is this sort of shit deliberate? How the fuck do you miss that in the vetting process?

I mean I guess your average TV production employee doesn't know that much about neo-Nazi tattoos. You'd expect them to find racist posts online though.
On top of that, the Nazis re-appropriate everything. If I have to make a non-verbal gesture to show everything is fine, I'm only allowed to use a thumbs up. The okay symbol means I'm a bigot now.

I know we're not exactly talking Everest here, but if you're Google mapping your way up Ben Nevis, you've probably no business on Ben Nevis in the first place, right?Google has been criticised for suggesting routes up Ben Nevis and other Munros which are "potentially fatal" and direct people off a cliff.
They're new to me as well. Apparently they refer to very specific white supremacist gangs (not even general sayings etc.) in America, which I find it hard to believe a mouth-breathing Leyther would be up on.
Fair enough but then on the other hand I remember them asking Corbyn if the Manchester Arena bombing was good for his election campaign the day after it happened and they focused a lot more on Diane Abbot getting her sums wrong than the actual Chancellor getting his HS2 sums wrong by a paltry 2 billion.

It's a classic case of backfiring banter, MP seems like a bellend but the councillor is a fanny bringing up fat shaming, working as a nurse and Love Island when he tried to score some easy points and left himself open to such an easy comeback.
If the athletes think Japan is hot, they're going to cook in Brisbane in 2032.
Place will be a perma-forrest fire by then.
New Zealand's Olympic team will be forced to stay in Mt Isa for the 2 weeks.
They should hold the open water swimming (do they have that?) or the triathalton in the Daintree to spice it up a bit.
Getting 3 games in 3 different cities (have even the yanks managed this?) within 80 years or whatever shows Australia must have a pretty good bribery game.
To be fair we were the only ones going for it.
I think using the Daintree is a wonderful idea.
London, Rio, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, The Brown Snake.

Wait until 2032.
Using this week as a point of reference everyone's probably going to melt in Paris in 2024.
I bet that looked funny to witness at first and then got really, really fucking terrifying.
I can't remember who said that nobody actually wants the Housing shortage addressed (possibly Jim and/or Lewis) but, well, you were right.
Does this mean we're not popular?
Also, this story sort of made my day, but also got me to thinking does he have that sort of cash to be doling out? That would be a downer considering what a monumental idiot he is.

Even if he doesn't, there'll be a Go Fund Me set up to pay it for him anyway.

Regrettably someone else has just died in the Hillsborough disaster, so it's now justice for the 97.
RIP the 96 era.

Great, now we're monetising hills.
I read a review of it and it sounds like one of those pikey Santa grotto things full of rabid reindeer. Loads of half-finished scaffolding etc.
Great ploy for them to stick it right in front of Marble Arch, though. Can't see it? £4 gets you the view.
Or just walk round the other side for free.
I remember going past that in a taxi three weeks ago and wondering what the fuck was going on. It doesn't look like they've added anything since. Who is responsible?
I've just read that Brendan Fraser spiralled into depression and got forgotten by Hollywood in the '10s partially because he was fingered in the arse by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at a luncheon.
Yeah he was sexually assualted and also hurt himself really badly during The Mummy films.
You could sorta sense he wasn’t right when he did Scrubs.
I'm a twit
Lol
The AFL has banned combat boxing and sparring among players, effective immediately.
The league told footy bosses at a phone hook-up on Wednesday that any form of boxing in pairs – regardless of whether head gear is worn or not – will be strictly prohibited following the incident at Hawthorn in June.
As first reported by foxfooty.com.au, Mitch Lewis was concussed after being accidentally punched in the jaw by Jacob Koschitzke..

Hello you cunts.

Good news.

A German pensioner who kept a Second World War Nazi tank in his basement for over 30 years was given a 14-month suspended jail sentence and fined €50,000 (£43,000) on Tuesday.
The 84-year-old, named only as Klaus-Dieter F under German privacy laws, admitted breaking the country’s War Weapons Control Act in a plea bargain to avoid being sent to prison.
He also agreed to pay a further €200,000 (£170,000) to charity under the terms of the deal.
As well as a 1943 Panther tank, he also kept an 88mm anti-aircraft gun, a torpedo, a mortar, 70 assault rifles and over 2,000 rounds of ammunition in the basement of his private villa in Heikendorf, a wealthy suburb of Kiel in northern Germany.
Prosecutors stumbled on the remarkable trove of weapons when they searched his home looking for stolen Nazi artworks after a tip-off in 2015.
Laywers for Klaus-Dieter F initially argued the weapons were a collection of memorabilia and were all deactivated and could no longer be used.
But the judge rejected that line of reasoning and urged the defence and prosecution to agree to a plea bargain to spare the 84-year-old jail time.
Klaus-Dieter F is understood to be wealthy. But he will have some help raising funds to pay the fine and charitable donations after the judge rejected calls to confiscate the weapons.That mayor quote.A museum in Seattle is understood to be in negotiations to buy the tank, while a private collector in Germany has expressed interest in the anti-aircraft gun.
Prosecutors alleged they also found extensive Nazi memorabilia in the basement, including swastikas, SS runes and mannequins in Nazi uniform, but these claims were not examined during the trial and Klaus-Dieter F’s political views were not discussed.
Under German law it is illegal to display Nazi symbols or artefacts in public, but they can be kept for scholarly or museum purposes.
The German army had to be called in to help remove the tank and anti-aircraft gun from the cellar when they were first discovered.
The Panther, considered one of the most effective tanks deployed in the Second World War, weighed over 44 tons.
At the time of the discovery, Alexander Orth, the local mayor, told German media he was not surprised.
“He was chugging around in that thing during the snow disaster in 1978,” he said.
It's now free to visit The Mound thing in Marble Arch - yay?
I've Googled this but can't see what it.... is, for want of a better way to articulate it. What's it for? What does one do at the Mound, other than question why the fuck they thought people would want to go to something called a mound?
First they retired Henman Hill, then Murray Mound, and now we have Marble Arch Mound.
The latest topographical marvel for the nation to sit on, bored and frustrated in unity.
I think you're supposed to be able to enjoy the views, but it looked shit from what I saw on the article I read
I see the government want to spend a few million quid getting a load more secondary schools teaching kids Latin.
Is there any point or is it just a load of posho wank from the sort of people who think Classics must be useful because they did it and now they've had an incompetent stint in the Cabinet to show for it so it must have been a good degree?
How else are you supposed to read the meaningless wank on your local councils flag?
Latin is very useful in the academic sense, less so in the world where everyone seems to think household finances should be on the curriculum.
Is it useful as a subject in and of itself though?
Like, I see the argument that "oh yes it's very helpful for learning other languages" but I refuse to believe that it's beneficial to teach your average secondary schooler Latin so you can then teach them another, actually useful, language more easily.
If you're going into linguistics or something further along then fine but it seems a bit pointless teaching it in secondary school.
We already speak the only useful language.
Half the country don't even speak that very well.
It's a great discipline for developing logic, problem-solving, organisation etc, as well as for studying other languages. I'd put everyone through a term or two of it aged 12, if nothing else.
If we're going down the route where 'useful' is defined as a set applied knowledge output, then no it isn't useful. But for developing the mind it and any number of other disciplines are great. Also ties in a bit of ancient history which is always nice as they basically don't teach it at all in History modules.
Geography should be binned off first.
