That certainly didn't escape my attention.

It's absolutely batshit crazy and I have no doubt this was a demand direct from the Kremlin.

When you say “Americans elected” let me help you with that…

I increasingly believe this is “the land of opportunity” because so many people are just fucking dumb.

And yet rather than be embarrassed by their performance, I’d guess the majority in this video “resent the elites looking down on and ridiculing them.”

That said, I love maps and geography and have always been surprised by how many people don’t really care.

But you don't have to care. How can you get to the age of some of those people and never had this stuff come up Slumdog Millionaire style? I mean I know how these videos work, where they ask a bunch of people and just show the thick ones, but the fact that there's anyone who can't point to a single country is just insane.

I was in Belize when it kicked off. Came back to UK to find myself chosen to go on an exercise called Welsh Falcon with the Welsh Guards, Scots Guards and Gurkhas. Even got to the stage where the OC and SSM went to tell the wife I was going straight there. She was pregnant at the time with our first and they swapped me out with someone else. Then they decided to send me anyway on the SS Rangatira and stopped giving medals out the day before we were eligible…

If you want medals, the Americans give them out for free. Crossing the Atlantic., passing bootcamp, being able to put your own uniform on.........

Good on yer, Delboy, you probably deserved that medal.

We don't give them out so easily.

I was surprised when a guy identified “Africa,” she said “That’s a continent. Can you name a country in Africa?” and he said “No!”

Err, SOUTH Africa, maybe? You know, a starter for 1/2 point?!?!

Or, the woman who said, “I know that’s Mexico!” and she was pointing to the wrong continent in the wrong hemisphere!!

I follow a guy on Instagram who does these interviews, usually with younger people. Usually maths, history or geography questions. 'Who fought in the Mexican-American war?' was a good one. "I don't know. France?" What strikes me is the number of them where you can see switch off halfway through the question. They've clearly got so little confidence in themselves that as soon as they hear it's a maths question, for example, they've already switched off and just assumed that they won't know the answer. It's pretty sad actually. But still funny.

But South Africa? Come on, it's not the 80s any more. That's not been on Fox News since they were presumably calling Mandela a terrorist.

It started with him but, sadly, this seems relatively benign, when compared to now.
Hopefully, when this ‘Trump and the authoritarians dance’ is all over and done with, the people will remember how the billionaires moved to embrace it and will, therefore, support taxing the absolute shit out of them….

You could have so much fun with your in-flight announcements!
 
Old Soviet joke for our times:

Man stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper.

One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Man says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Man says: “not the one I’m looking for."
