And speaking of getting angry:
And on we go with the usual, but I must warn y’all that I’m in an especially-foul mood today:
…so true.
And seeing as we ended up here, some stuff from WELL below the belt:

They’ll Be Firing Them For Rape, Next
Some Brit politician has been canned for speaking his mind.
Andrew Gwynne is under investigation by the parliamentary authorities after he wrote in the group that he hoped a 72-year-old pensioner would soon be dead.
Who hasn’t wished that some old fart would croak soon? Hell, I’m at that age myself, and I’ve thought that same thing many, many times about someone in my peer group.
Sadly, our Andrew didn’t actually speak, per se, but sent it to a friend on WhatsApp, so of course it was leaked.
Personally, I think it’s one of the funniest exchanges I’ve seen all month:
I don’t know who “Dave” is, but that’s fucking hilarious right there.
Even funnier:
Gwynne also joked about a local cycling campaigner being “mown down”, suggested that a local vicar be “burned on a bonfire” and made derogatory comments about Angela Rayner and Diane Abbott.
Were he not one of Satan’s minions (i.e. a Labour Party MP) I’d vote for him, just for telling the truth. I mean, who doesn’t get the giggles at the thought of a mown-down cyclist? Or a vicar on a bonfire?
#InquisitionPayBack
And not even the pecksniffy Britcops could find fault with his statements — no doubt because they were crying with helpless laughter and couldn’t finish reading them, like I was.
Of course, he’s in deep doo-doo with the Party apparatchiks, but who cares about that?
My hero:
…coming soon to a meme near you.
By the way: the title of this post is a riff on something written in George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman. No slight was ever intended towards rape victims, nor indeed towards rapists either.
Actually, Gwynne could easily be fired for rape, because he’s not a Muslim.

Martin Niemöller, Call Your Office
Via Sarah at Insty’s place, I followed this link and immediately burst into helpless laughter.
“First they came for Mahmoud Khalil, and I said nothing because I thought it was a damn good idea.”
…and it gets better and better as it goes on. If you missed the “Faux Anguish” link, then go there now, and enjoy. Best thing I’ve read in ages.
When Reality And The Law Meet
Well, here’s some fun — and it took place in Britishland of all places, where more stupid laws have recently been passed than in any country outside the ‘Stans or California.
The Supreme Court in London has ruled that, for the purposes of judging matters of equality, terms like ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ refer to biological sex, not gender.
Campaigners have hailed the “death” of self-identification as the UK Supreme Court in Westminster ruled on Wednesday morning that the UK’s Equality Act 2010 refers to “biological women and biological sex”.
The court has ruled: “The definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.”
Judge Lord Patrick Hodge said in the ruling that the body of five judges had unanimously agreed that a man with a Gender Recognition Certificate, a UK legal paper that recognises that person’s assumed gender when it is other than their biological sex, could not be counted as a woman when it came to equality legislation.
Excuse me for a second…
Oooooh the trannies are going to go apeshit — but nobody of right mind is going to care.
Frankly, I’m just appalled that it took fucking lawyers to state (unanimously, even!) the obvious fact that right-thinking people have always known.
I love the pic that Breitbart used:
I kinda feel the same way.
Elsewhere:
The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Hungary officially recognized the scientific fact that there are only two genders, in the nation’s constitution.
The 15th amendment to the Hungarian constitution was overwhelmingly ratified by Budapest’s Országgyűlés parliament this week by a margin of 140 votes in favour to 21 votes against, Magyarnemzet reported.
But wait! There’s MOAR!
The 15th Amendment will also impact other areas of civil society, for instance, enshrining the right for Hungarians to pay for goods and services with cash money.
It comes amid increasing efforts within Europe and elsewhere to institute Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCS), which opponents warn would enable more state controls on how people spend their own money.
I’d like to see that enshrined here too, purely as a prophylactic measure. Because I don’t trust government, any government and even the one we’ve got here at the moment.
And I have the Founding Fathers on my side.
Sliding Off
I think what I love the most about today’s political climate — other than the tsunamis of Liberal tears each day — is the fact that our governing class seems to be immune to childish insults. Here are a few such, of recent memory:
“Trump is an orange-skinned horror!”
His response: wear more fake tan than ever.
“Trump is like the Evil Emperor!” followed by a Photoshop:
Trump supporters: “What’s the last thing a useless federal bureaucrat sees before being tossed out of his office?”
And then there was that time when Rep. Jizzmine “Daisy” Crockett insulted Jim Abbott by calling the paraplegic Texas governor “Hot Wheels”, which led to this appearing on Twatter:
…which in turn resulted in well over a thousand twats asking where they could buy the toy, and a huge climb in his popularity rating in the polls.
Give it up, Lefties. Insults might have worked back in playground days, but we conservatives are largely immune to it now.

We’ll just laugh at you for your failed socialist ideas masquerading as a Nude Eel or something.

So here we go with our weekly diary entry:
Let’s get down to the silly business, then.
And on the topic of surveys:
And on a sorta-related note, some other people’s sisters:
That’s enough of that. Now say good-bye and walk away…
