103: Sexual Politics

[@KieranKelly-o9s]

I used to be the advertising agency sales manager at the Sunday Express and I was threatened with a written warning for having a copy of private eye on my desk

[@tomglenn485]

If you still have it please send a copy to mag. I can't imagine that they counldn't find a use for it.

[@johnstewartrichards5922]

I hope you rolled it up and used it to apply a little Violence a la Punch & Judy ; )

Well said, Ian. Failure in public life is no longer seen as failure by the people who failed. Such arrogance.

[@nickwalsh527]

Its not arrogance so much as shamelessness....

[@hgvbish6606]

Delighted to have found this KZbin video. I’m 88 and I am finding reading the print in private eye hard gowing these days. Cheers and thanks.

[@AntGeezer]

You’re not alone and you’re not the first to mention the size of the font in the Private Eye. It seems though that, much like the people the Eye criticises, they have no intention of listening or doing anything about it.

[@maxine2798]

⁠@@AntGeezerif the print is larger, the page count goes up and the cost to produce the magazine goes up. But you knew that. Try running a magazine title yourself

[@TheSuzberry]

Yes! I’m in the States and so glad this found my recommendations.

[@Rosiedelaroux]

I feel very sorry for LIZ Truss. Her family should have done an intervention- mental illness is hard to deal with

[@Paul_C]

Nah, she is well compensated for what she bought to the table. Over compensated even, normally she would get minimum wage, and not likely to get a raise at all.

[@moolo1061]

😂

[@clarecollins2547]

Yes, but, shes so mad she doesnt know she is!

[@richardboldbrooker6327]

Ah, but delusion is not a mental illness. Nor is believing lies and gaslighting.

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

Watching Ian Dale getting the safe seat of Tunbridge Wells, then a soundbite turns up where he denigrates the place. Then the video of him beating up a protester at a Party conference in Brighton. The protester is a local eccentric, who can best be described as, "annoying, but mostly harmless". As he was sketched to me by a friend.

[@andrewsalmon100]

Very lucky to sit next to these well informed reasonable chatty journos at the next table in the pub.

As a Narfok Bor I am ashamed and embarrassed that Lettuce Lady has anything to do with Norfolk.

[@charlesmarsh9608]

Thanks to all for Private Eye.

[@miel1074]

Sexual politics….or Liz Truss and cheese! While the world faces crisis after crisis, Liz Truss believes that the biggest crisis we face IS BRITISH CHEESE!!!!

[@sarahbarrett1247]

Between cheese and pork, she’s absolutely bonkers. She would love charcuterie boards but they sound too foreign 😂

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Liz must never be let anywhere near the steering wheel. Every time she opens her mouth she illustrates just how dangerous she is. These are the sorts of things that these middle class people do. They take these dumb risks, knowing that when it goes all wrong they will never get the blame. Nor would she ever come out and say the same thing with such glee if her kids had come to harm as a result of taking such risks. How many times have we seen middle class people take these risks, then it all goes wrong, they play the victim and refuse to take responsibility for the harm that’s befallen their children after they put them in harms way themselves because they thought they were entitled to do whatever they want.

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

So you agree that the bank of England should be allowed to choose who runs this country?, I was no fan of truss, but she was ousted by the bankers because she stepped on their toes.

[@Jj-ty7qh]

@@mikethebloodthirsty no. She was ousted by her incompetence

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

​​ wrong, Tony Blair basically gave the Bank of England FULL power to run the economy, as deluded as Truss was, she attempted to step on their turf, they did not like it, she was gone and a former employee of Goldman Sachs was inserted as prime minister, Bye.

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

​@@Jj-ty7qhTory Blair gave the Bank of England FULL power to run the economy, Truss, as deluded as she was, stepped on their toes, they did not like this... they installed a former employee of Goldman Sacks as prime minister in her place, ie... a yes man.

Pictures of Liz truss and words like sexual just DO NOT go together !😅

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

The Human Hand Grenade, is from Norfolk? That explains a lot. When I was a very junior nurse, occasionally in medical notes, you'd come across the three letter acronym, "N.F.N." . This is shorthand for, normal for Norfolk. This implies you're not really sharing the same reality as us. Which is and apt description, of our shortest serving PM.

[@johnwright9372]

Anyone remember the acronym NORWICH?

@@johnwright9372 Should that not be KORWICH?

[@biscuit4259]

Could you put the date of production/ first publication of these In the descriptions?

[@sarahbarrett1247]

Truss called her daughter Frances and Liberty? That should be enough to get her referred to social services, not to mention that clearly her choices are flawed and she should not be making decisions that will affect the country. She is clearly mental.

[@johnholkham2420]

Now we finally see Ian's brilliant plan. Donning a blonde wig and using his jowls as breasts, he rose to the leadership to destroy from within in under 2 months, and get a cracking book deal for a wurd salud. Possibly also win a bet with Merton. It HAS to be that, right? Guys?
