Shout out to the man on the train calling his bank about ID theft and who has read his name, postcode, and the long number on his card to the whole carriage.

I always think it's funny how instagram makes people into village soothsayers coming up with and passing around folk wisdom because the platform runs on like a million obscured algorithms and no one knows how it works. Advice feels very 'A rooster crowing at night is a sign of rain coming.'

“principal adversaire” has destroyed me, God bless French, a thrill not experienced since the days of”d’un cochon mort”

fascinatingly* the French news is translating "Count Binface" as « le Compte Tête-de-Poubelle » rather than « Visage-de-Poubelle) which is, in fairness, more accurate (his entire head is a bin, not just his face) typical British media not asking the important underlying questions * ta gueule

Screenshot from Le Parisien. A photo of Count Binface, a man in a sort of black Darth Vader suit but with a silvery grey cape and a bin on his head with eye slit and mouthhole. Headline: Législative partielle au Royaume-Uni : qui est le « Comte Tête-de-poubelle », principal adversaire de Nigel Farage ? Subheader: Ce candidat fantaisiste devrait être l’un des seuls à disputer le siège de Clacton-on-Sea au leader de Reform UK, pris dans un scandale. Les autres partis boycottent le scrutin.
