He/Him - Beer and banter are my bread and butter. Fairly standard something year old bald chap from Manchester, UK, trying to be pleasant and positive.

Thinking back to that one episode of Taskmaster where David Baddiel invents a place called "Little Piddlebury" which he says with such derision and disdain, and I've decided to mentally substitute that in when I see any reference to that racist bunghole of a village that's on the news right now

Mulder, throwing a folder of documents across the desk: "Ever hear of the air vent alien Scully?" (Just got out of watching Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma. What a film!)

Continuing work on my data quality analysis WinUI 3 program and just finished building an xlsx reader of my own design, using the ancient knowledge that xlsx files are really zip archives. Open it in memory as a zip, read the relevant XML from inside the structure, job done.

So because Reform's platform is based on making Britain "great" again and getting rid of foreign influences, including coasting on the anti EU sentiment of Brexit, can I safely assume the party will now dissolve itself on account of this hypocrisy? No? Oh well. Worth a shot.

BREAKING: Reform UK’s James Orr and Dan Jukes have ‘stepped down’ from their roles following last night’s undercover filming on Channel 4 News. Nigel Farage remains in post.

I don't know why Channel 4 bothered with an undercover investigation on Farage, for £50 they could have had him confess on his shitty Vine-esque side gig
