Hey Tesco, don’t get all annoyed at me because I forgot to scan something. You literally gave me no training before making me a cashier. The audacity of a company giving you zero training, plonking you on a till, and then acting shocked — shocked! — when a human being makes a mistake. Honestly, it’sContinue reading “It’s Bollocks With Beeps”

Jeremy Clarkson – Fame’s gone to his head so badly he’s strutting about like he’s the mayor of his own imaginary kingdom — crown, cape, and absolutely no self‑awareness
Jeremy Clarkson whipped up a digital dust‑up by declaring that benefit claimants should send weekly thank‑you notes to taxpayers, because apparently even his dogs manage better manners. He kicked off a full‑blown fury by bragging that his dogs “always show their appreciation” and then proposing a weekly national lottery of taxpayers’ email addresses so benefitContinue reading “Jeremy Clarkson – Fame’s gone to his head so badly he’s strutting about like he’s the mayor of his own imaginary kingdom — crown, cape, and absolutely no self‑awareness”
Disability Justice Means Dignity — Not Gatekeeping

Programs meantContinue reading “Disability Justice Means Dignity — Not Gatekeeping”

Jeremy Clarkson’s National Grovel Service
Clarkson basically wants Britain to run a national chain‑email pyramid scheme where people on benefits must send weekly gratitude updates to random strangers, turning Universal Credit into the world’s saddest newsletter. I should say first that he was aiming this at young people he imagines are sitting at home doing nothing — which is adorable,Continue reading “Jeremy Clarkson’s National Grovel Service”
Bones By The Bypass
“Well, honestly, darling, the M67 has absolutely lost the plot. Human remains by the roadside — it’s like something out of a bloody Dickens novel, only with more traffic cones and fewer orphans. I mean, imagine you’re tootling along, minding your own business, probably late for work, probably desperate for a wee, and suddenly theContinue reading “Bones By The Bypass”
“Tell Me I’m Too Ugly — I’ll Give You Front‑Row Seats.”
Thousands of strangers told her she was too ugly to be seen. They said she should be banned from posting pictures of her own face online. So she made a decision that turned their cruelty completely on its head. She would post a picture of her face. Every single day.
