    I love that she's still a media darling, when everyone local thinks she's a complete cunt. She had to be kicked out of the cemetery a couple of months ago for having a birthday party for him. They were all pissed up and dancing around.

    Did we used to care about US midterm elections? BBC is telling I should really care if their front page is anything to go by.

    BBC types are obsessed with local elections in Kentucky, but Marine le Pen quitting the other day barely got a murmur.

    I suppose this time they matter in the sense that if Trump's boys do well it could be trouble for Ukraine aid, but it doesn't look like Trump's boys are doing well.

    Since Obama, yeah. I know people more up to date on Yank politics than our own. Depressing really.

    Other people in the crowd started chanting "God save the King" ... at the protestor.
    Save the King from those killer eggs.

    To be honest I see nothing wrong with arresting people who throw projectiles (even if they are only eggs) at other people.

    Indeed. Is the assumption here that it's fine because he's privileged and THE KING?

    I like the subtle 'Not my king' sign in the background.

    I saw this earlier and, yes, I know what you're thinking, there's an editorial error in stating 5ft9 as the average and not 5ft8. But if you put that to one side, it remains a bloody alarming article. Sounds brutal.

    The assumption appears to be that I was ing him being arrested, rather than what he shouted and the reaction of the Royal Ultras.

    I'm even more baffled then? I was mocking the bystanders who thought yelling "God Save the King" would protect him from flying eggs (obviously that wasn't why they were shouting it but the BBC phrased it as if it was). I didn't say it was acceptable behaviour on the part of the thrower.

    The same way the Social Media fuck ups happen. They have someone thick in charge of sending out app notifications and they didn't know what Kristallnacht was.

    Is it a day of mourning or somesuch in Germany and therefore shows on calendars? If so, someone who is meant to check these things probably didn't know what it was and let it through.

    But that implies that person has heard of Kristallnacht but didn't know what it was. But also assumed it was some kind of public holiday? - Yev's covered it.

    This all assumes the social media lad wasn't a massive Nazi who thought it would be funny.

    They'll have a bot which, from an online calendar, harvests holidays in the various countries and automatically generates marketing material based on it. 'Celebrate Boxing Day with a KFCheese!' 'Celebrate Bastille Day with a Zinger Tower Burger!' 'Celebrate Independence Day with...' and so on.

    And some American / outsourced Asian won't have known what Kristallnacht was when manually checking it.

    I've decided I'm getting a bucket for dinner tomorrow off the back of it so fairplay if it was intentional.

    I mean, it says so on the article, which I guess no one bothered reading:

    In a statement issued to Newsweek magazine, KFC Germany blamed the message on a bot.

    The fast food chain said the "automated push notification" was "linked to calendars that include national observances".

    Yeah.

    Same team that pretended to arrange a friendly with [another fake team] Wankford Rovers or whatever it was.

    Still funny though. The "okay we did get the date wrong but" later tweet made me laugh.

    They can't even get round to banning people for making racist remarks under real football club posts so I think Streatham are safe for a while yet.

    Heard that on the radio in the car yesterday and was lolling. He reckons they tattooed him while he was in a Coma and doctored the finger prints on the real rapists file.

    Let him off. What a lad.
