Not everyone you hate is a nonce

Much to the surprise of social media users, sometimes other people hold different opinions, without being the spawn of satan. Remarked one teenager: 'I really dislike that guy's haircut, I'm pretty sure he's a terrorist.'


Of course it's just possible that the middle-aged ar$ehole who doesn't share your taste in movies is not a kitten molester or the cause of the black death.


Explained one sociologist: 'Statistically it seems unlikely that 99% of people you interact with are Nazis. Not even 99% of Germans in 1939 were Nazis - and, other than Lawrence Fox, they were arguably their biggest fans.'

Britain needs more Keir Starmer, not less

Addressing the nation the beleaguered PM insisted that he was popular, we just haven't got to know him yet. His failures help to challenge us in a healthy and necessary way. Friendship, after all, cannot flourish unless one party bravely endures the other without encouragement. One day we will thank him for staying.


The seismic collapse of the Labour vote is proof positive that his vision is working. His spokeswoman explained, 'Voters have a wonderfully strong reaction to Sir Keir, we just need to make it a positive one.' There are signs that he is winning people over…certainly their tight smiles and evasive body language show they have learnt a great deal—probably about resilience.


'If you think you hate him now, wait until you get to know him.'
