Not a single member of staff could be bothered to find a child's umbrella to save the oompa loompa from getting soaked while resigning? This is the same staff that let him stay at the King David hotel in Israel. They probably laughed when he chose July 4th as his termination date. So little regard for the DEI PM.

Maybe if Reform and the Heritage party join forces, then they may have a chance.

I like David Kurten but I don't see him and Richard Tice seeing eye to eye.

Watched every episode from the very first as a 12 year old and gave up a few years ago when I became sick of "The Message".

Maybe there is no future for collectivism. As all politics is an expression of collectivism, there is no future for politics. Individualism on the other hand has a future. Associations, clubs, consortiums where there is like, a hundred members. So like you could have a road builders club for people who like building roads, or a boat club for people who like boating. Non of it centralised or institutional, just sort of casual. And it's that kind of chaos an anarchic distributed loosely associated networks.

Great comment. I don't think we need a revolution, we need evolution, evolve beyond our current not fit for purpose political system. Individuals coming together to build what's needed.

I had the idea for a doctor who fanfic comic about 25 years ago after I found Dr Who to have already become insufferable. The title was Professor Watt: I'm officially open sourcing it - feel free to use that moniker.

[@MrOpaquelens]

No my protagonist is based on a 35 year version of myself. He's called Tim. His Earth alias is Timothy Edward Lord. Tim E. Lord.

[@liberatumplox625]

@@MrOpaquelens I like that. If I get around to scripting my comic, perhaps I'll squeeze in a nod to Timothy.

I went to see Cosmic Trigger - The Life of Robert Anton Wilson, in Liverpool in 2014 and it was Alice Kingston playing Venus. She hit on me, and I had no idea where I recognized her from.

[@MrOpaquelens]

Wow I didn't know she did that.

[@deadsteve2180]

​​@@MrOpaquelens Yeah, it was funny. She was marching up and down the stage shouting, "I Love Love. Love, Love, Love, Love", whilst holding a giant paper mache cock. Everyone was in stitches.

I watched a little bit of Dr. Who growing up in the 80's. The only episode that sticks in my mind is the one with the robotic pool cleaner.

[@johnmightymole2284]

Too much waffle. Edit please.

Dr Who/They/Them 🏳‍🌈

[@Empire4Liberty]

Who would ever compare them to? 🪿🐤

[@twosix5444]

I haven't bothered with Dr Who since Tom Baker was the doctor.

[@michaelharrison3602]
