Nope. It means you have to engage with it to get the most from it. Like art.
I choose not to, as do you, but lack of investment of time on my part does not make it universally "crap". Were that to be the case, all opera, ballet and Impressionist painting would be "crap" also.
The Tory Party has been taken over by Benny Hill, riddled with middle aged men who can’t control their impulse. They’re either in jail, awaiting trial, suspended from the Commons or have had the whip removed. What are they putting in the tea at the 1922 committee?

That’s a killer opening line in a resignation letter “Last night I drank far too much”. It reads like it was written hastily for him by one of the other whips before being requested he sign it.
It also sounds like the first line of a Pink Floyd song.
Yes, Gillray’s satire of the Prince Regent speared the same personal vices as Johnson- greed and recklessness- with very similar visual references.It doesn't float my boat either, too vitriolic, but it's not artless, it's no different from what Gilray was doing in the 18th century.

Here’s one of his suppressed plates that has resonance today:
“John Bull Bombarding the Bum Boats” French rowing boats seen off with ‘farts and turds from his own bum’.
I think you might be slightly over-elevating Cold War Steve, but I'll go along with it.
Nothing, but they don’t do made to measure IIRC, and the least you should expect of the leader of a G7 country is that his clothes fit him properly.
Telling, if so. It's a posh person's idea of what 'the people' are like.Part of his "man of the people" schtick. The shiny arsed Foster Bros suit, dandruff, sweaty shirt and bar-room bullshit.
Some people could wear a bin liner and look great; others a Saville Row suit and look like they have just woken up in Woolies shop doorway ....
Just reading up on Chris Pincher and have to say he is a brave man. In 2017 he made "unwanted advances" on Alex Story, former Olympic rower and the heaviest man to row for Cambridge in the Boat Race, so at a guess he is 7ft tall and weights 130 kilos!
His description of Lawrence Fox is exquisite, “ an exhumed Regency orphanage worrier”.I’d put money on CWS being looked back on with huge cultural relevance. He is far too good to be overlooked. Russ Jones’s The Week In Tory too. The best satire of this era by far IMHO. I don’t even bother watching things like HIGNFY, Mock The Week etc anymore, they are days or even weeks old by the time of broadcast, and seem pretty safe and dull now. I haven’t bought a newspaper this century. I’ve no idea why anyone does.
