In his very own Modest Proposal, former ambassador Sir Tony Brenton tells British Jews that if we don't like being firebombed, stabbed and shot, all we need to do is publicly submit to - and pass - his political purity test. Good-oh, Sir Tony.

Leslie Nielsen pulls off a PERFECT Untouchables stairway shootout parody. The sheer number of gags squeezed into 3 minutes is incredible.

Intoxicated? The word did not express it by a mile. He was oiled, boiled, fried, plastered, whiffled, sozzled, and blotto.

Without wanting to let daylight in upon magic, this is a sketch by Ghanaian comedian Akwasi Boadi. When I found out, I briefly mourned the fact it wasn’t real, but then realised I’d just seen one of the funniest men in the world for the first time. All Hail Akwasi.

Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.

Gutter journalism. #FakeLaw by The Sun and The Mail. A truly vile exploitation of a grieving widow to make dishonest and intellectually void attacks on legal aid and the rule of law. Here’s why it’s nonsense: [THREAD]
