    They'd have to go through 6 months quarantine and testing for rabies etc. Would cost a fortune and I'm not sure there's even enough facilities to cope with the demand of however many he wants to bring over. It's not normally done in bulk ffs.

    The more I think about this story the more absurd it becomes. Humans are the absolute worst.

    It's ridiculous. We have shelters over here regularly putting down dogs purely because there's no space for them. Does he have a plan to set up a special home for them? How many Go Fund Me accounts does he have for that?

    Here he is. Right on cue.

    "A dog would never leave you behind". What does that even mean? I guarantee you if they weren't all locked in cages and presumably slung in the back of a lorry, when that bomb went off outside the airport a couple of hours ago the entire lot of them would have bolted into the streets of Kabul in a flash and left "Pen" Farthing without ever looking back, you silly bastard.

    I once saw him live and he ended the show with an incredibly self-righteous and condescending missive about how seriously he took animal rights and how it absolutely was, under no circumstances, a subject to be joked about.

    There was a good five minute segment of the actual routine where he almost exclusively made "dead baby" jokes.

    He was on Graham Norton a while back doing just that with a rapper who had a stuffed giraffe in his house.

    Really. He went off on one about some Chinese market where they keep dogs in cages and sell them for meat or something.

    Yeah, I've seen that show too, albeit not live. And he's right about the Chinese market, it's horrific.

    Gervais is someone who never learned how to show and not tell, as can be seen by his absolutely toilet standup and post-merchant sitcoms. I don't love Extras, but Derek and Afterlife are staggeringly bad.

    Oh I don't doubt that it is. I'm absolutely in agreement with him that places like that shouldn't exist.

    It's just the showing closing "now let's talk about something that is not funny" moralising from a bloke who built an entire bit around infant death (which I wasn't personally offended by, to clarify) half an hour earlier struck me as bizarre at the time, and will always will be my lasting memory of seeing him live.

    Far be it from me to question the current zeitgeist, but isn't the idea of this Marvel film about a Chinese character somehow being a game changing moment for people of Chinese origin in film a bit mental? A Chinese lead, a largely Chinese cast, big blockbuster, does Ang Lee's Taiwanese heritage rule Crouching Tiger out of this debate? Bet that makes him Ang Lee.

    There's lots of this around at the moment, but for some reason 'How about paying better wages to attract labour?' never gets mentioned by any party.
    Farmers, reportedly, not have the profit margin to simply raise wages for the workforce. I'd imagine they are on tight margins as it is.

    Why is it not OK to cage and eat dogs, but it is chickens, pigs, cows, etc. The hypocrisy is astounding.

    They don't just cage and eat them at the Chinese markets he's referring to.

    We don't skin and boil pigs while they're still alive. Have a real Hot Dog all you like, just put a bullet in it's head before you start the meal prep.

    Right, what con trick did this lad pull to generate interest in his (crap) work? NFT's associated with famous people made little sense, but what the hell's going on here?

    A 12-year-old boy from London has made about £290,000 during the school holidays, after creating a series of pixelated artworks called Weird Whales and selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

    Crypto Whales are what they call the super rich of the Crypto world. They are mental and can and do spunk their mental wealth on some absolute shite. I have no problem believing that a Crypto Whale would spend big on a Crypto Whale NTF FOR THE BANTZ.

    It's bad enough when it's unscrupulous 1%ers paying the people of Bangladesh 7p per hour. It's somehow worse when it's little Timmy making millions by buying DogeCoin, SpunkRocket and ElonMoon at the right time and becoming a millionaire overnight because "hahaha spunkrocket HODL TO THE MOOOOON".

    We do lobsters to a certain extent.

    And even a bullet in the head doesn't sound fun.

    All I'm saying is that we should eat dogs.

    It doesn't really matter, Le Pen can never win in their system. Barnier either gets Chirac'd in, or beats Biscuit on a slightly more traditional footing, would be my guess.
