Unicorns fart glitter.
That’s the first Ive laughed in two days. They should prescribe this stuff.

You should be so lucky, obergruppenfuhrer.

They beautifully overreached again when the hard right troll affecting journalism, Allison Pearson tried to make the news rather than report it with the Leeds General story. She was caught out in the open and there’s a professional price to pay for what she did. Fox News will be offering her a job.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you. Unless you're Nigel Farage, in which case people just want to vomit.
It really is terrible reporting from the DT, you are well within your rights to remove the link.
A quick look on twitter seems to support the idea that LK did nothing wrong re the postal vote comments, at least nothing illegal. My source on this is an ex Labour press officer. Similar reports have been filed in the past, this has also been confirmed by solicitor. Perhaps I am not so naive after all?

Mark,
Meme is very English. The word was coined by Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. He used the word in his first book The Selfish Gene to mean a unit of cultural inheritance that self-replicates and spreads much as genes do, though with less fidelity. (Obviously, because DNA replication is governed by enzymes that know their onions.)

Its etymology: The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα pronounced [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "imitated thing", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos, "mime") coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976) as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena.

Dawkins wrote that evolution depended not on the particular chemical basis of genetics, but only on the existence of a self-replicating unit of transmission—in the case of biological evolution, the gene. For Dawkins, the meme exemplified another self-replicating unit with potential significance in explaining human behaviour and cultural evolution.

Went to vote at lunchtime, no dogs, but plenty of younger adults, this could be promising for Labour, hope so.

He’s been radicalised. A bit like that Ranson bloke. Or maybe Ranson was always nuts, I cannot remember anymore.

Very busy polling station here (at around 5-ish) despite dreadful weather. It's a little earlier than I usually vote do not sure how it compares, but I had to queue, which I've never had to do before (at around 7-ish).

It appears genuine. See another image here https://twitter.com/anyasizer/status/1205051208395841537
That was retweeted by Abbott herself.
