I see the good folk at Charlie Hebdo are are it again.
Let's hope for their sake that Nicholas Witchell doesn't have access to an Ak-47.

Click at your own peril. 4 hit by lightning.
The last one really took his time.
This might be the dumbest question I've ever asked, but did they all die?
Surprised only ones dead. The wimp of the four, obviously.
I'm a twit
I'm not surprised it's happened in India.
I think it was 2017 that a house in the next street got hit by lightning and caught fire. Sounded like a bomb went off and set off half the car alarms in the area.
From that day I've never understood how anyone survives a direct hit.

Roy.
EDIT: I've read about this guy a few times but didn't know he'd topped himself. No wonder.
Roy.
Malcolm X was a cunt and something of an idiot, but the Nation of Islam were (are) a genuinely embarrassing set of retards, so people have had to make things up about his death as part of distancing him from them.

The Royal family have played a blinder here. Hats off.
Those kisses are shit.
They're not kisses, they're pluses, each one representing a person that would need to die before cousin Archie is next in line to the throne.
Fucking well observed though if it's a ruse.
You know they say "papa" in the shit, affected "Nicole" way too, the little twats
It's still a naff thing to do, mind. Sending cards to dead relatives you never knew. Unless they conducted a séance which would I would absolutely approve of.
Lol. That's what made me chuckle. It's one thing to do it for your dead nan whom you sent some lovely summers with. But to do it for someone that died long before you were even a glint in your father's eye is PR'tastic. It's not even subtle.
As opposed to the Bouba Diop way?
There is no right way to say Papa, but if there were it would be Pa Pa, not Puparrrr.
Puparrrr.
The 'Nicole way' is more inflected surely, unless that's also how people say M. Bouba Diop/Pizza Johns.
Papa Shango.
Exactly. Madonna had it right.

Wonder what these immediate steps will be.
I don't doubt that women get harassed more so than men, but this was poor lady that got killed was done so by a lunatic. Surely the priority is to have less lunatics on the streets as the first item on the agenda.
As Niko said (I think), it seems that every main news headline of a bad event must action a deep review of society and it's alleged failings....mostly led on social media.
They're releasing a castration passport to go along with the vaccine one.
All women must be accompanied by a man or another, more threatening woman.
The problem is men, aided by their habitual social empowerment at the expense of women, being unable or unwilling to rein in the expression of their sexual urges.
Good luck with Boris Johnson heading a taskforce to deal with that.
I'm quite a fan of the outrage being shown by people actually thinking anyone wants a 6pm curfew for men. Absolute thickos.
I'm a twit
A guy I went to school with has been going in heavy on this.
"6PM, Best get home. Not because of Covid, because of my Penis!"
Many people have tried to explain that the curfew was a knowingly ridiculous suggestion designed to combat the idea that women shouldn't be out after dark, but he isn't to be swayed.
Bless him.
It's more to make men aware of the self-imposed curfew women put on themselves as they don't feel safe going out after dark, but yeah.
I'm a twit
Whilst I wouldn't say it particularly bothers me, I do find the double-standards in play with broad, and inaccurate pontifications quite irksome these days. I would cite good old Donnie T from across the water as the prime example of say something stupid and get [rightly] pilloried. What was it he said about the streets of London not being safe due to the scourge of Muslim extremism? Absolute BS, but apparently, 6 months later they're not safe for women. Erm, ok. Inject yourself with bleach? What a fucking moron. Covid vaccines are quasi-ineffective? Gallic shrug from the outrage mob.
I have no idea of the exact context of that comment, but I would say it is inadvisable in a climate where swingeing curbs on freedom have become de riguer government policy, and that 'I was using hyperbole to prove a point' is pretty dodgy ground generally (when applied by causes you are less supportive of).
It feels like we need to return to the days of "life's a bitch" and "shit happens" window stickers.
Because that's all this is. Someone bumped into the wrong person at the wrong time. Shit for the family, sure. And the argument that many men have a problem with violence is undeniably true, but short of adding Estrogen to the water I don't know how you combat that.
The urge to fight and fuck is somewhat stitched into our DNA. We spend much time making sure people know that violence against women isn't ok. It can't be a surprise to anyone.

How has this cost Ł2.6m?
I'm in favour of Prime Minister Henry Hoover though.
Last night's Panorama will answer that for you.
I'm obviously not going to be going back to watch that but this breaks it down a bit better but still a bit vague so I'm going to assume that's just how much they've paid to jizz-proof those Union Flags.
Also had a good lol at "This spending is in the public interest as the new broadcasting of lobby briefings will increase public accountability and transparency about the work of this Government now and in the future." Sure it will.
The flag stuff is such American bollocks. We're Britain, we don't need to wave a flag (or 4 flags) in your face. We just colour your land in pink.
The answer, as you well know, is because one of Matt Hancocks mates over-ordered some blue carpet for a job.
"Nice one, Matt, shall we call it ten grand per square foot?"
Blue is a bit EU for me. Have another 5 million and do it in white (red would be too communist).
Actually, what the last year has brought out is how much we (politicians) need to show how much we are flag wankers.
I suspect it's 25 year old idiot spads misreading polling that produces that. The public are patriotic in the sense that they think well of their country (unlike Corbyn, for example) but I think there's a big difference between that and getting hard ons for flags and symbols.
There is a house a couple of doors down from my grans that erected a flagpole to get an england flag in the front garden. It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
My parents used to live near a flagpole household. It's kind of quaint when it's out in the suburbs.
There's a permanent cross of St George in a garden just across from me, which I can often see fluttering from my bedroom window. Very handy for those mornings when I wake up from a bad dream thinking I'm French.
Two flag nonces near me. One just has a Jamaican flag up constantly and the other seems to switch between random Proud Boyd approved designs.
I'm a twit
Now I can respect a proud Jamiaican. Or a Proud Boyd.
ProudBoyds.
Two news stories that horrified me in different ways today:
Preparing for some nasty shit to go down in our lifetimes.

And fucking hell, we really are an unbelievable species.
