Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Back in 1991 when I went to court to help people up for non-payment of poll tax I saw one day the commissioner of the Met police was listed in one of the courts. So I went along to see what it was about, and it was someone suing the cops to get the evidence they had back. As they left with their tail between their legs as the magistrates denied the application they were nicked by cops who had been searching for them. I found out that day that if you sue the cops, the chief constable is always the defendant.

But this doesn't seem to be known in the frothing liberal halls of the guardian where they breathlessly say how the head honcho of liberal fuckwits republic is suing sir mark rowley
 
ha. amusingly the malignant narcissist does insist on being referred to as the Tesla founder, even though he only became an investor and chair of the board a year after the company had really been founded by Eberhard and Tarpenning.
if Twitter survives long enough that people start calling it by his rebrand X, you can expect he'll insist on being referred to as founder of that.

Tim Dowling is OK for that.
 
Quite a nice interview with Michael Caine and John Standing.


Not sure if this line is really required though.

Caine spent the 50s, 60s and early 70s hoovering up hotties across the continents
 
and claimed it was a reference to a 1960s cartoon about former US president Lyndon B Johnson.
the cartoon is labelled "after David Levine"

so does anyone know the '60s cartoon Bell is referencing?

It was quite a famous cartoon, back in its day. LBJ trying to rub Vietnam away from under his tie.

More recent than the Merchant of Venice, but perhaps not quite as widely known. After all, if most of us were asked to name three famous historical cartoons, we would be stuck after Low’s “the scum of the earth, I believe?” and Gillray’s plum pudding.
