The columnariat are, quite simply, some of the worst people in society. They will murder you, cry at your funeral, and turn in 800 words on how your death is the fault of the wokes.
Sonia has written and posted obsessively about Jason Arday over the past week or so but would like everyone to stop talking about that please

Football then. It was always trending this way, but this summer feels like the tipping point for absolute bullshit. It used to be just lunatics and crackpots posting mad takes for engagement, but now it’s blue ticks posting outright lies for interactions (and I presume money).

![[Title panel]:
A-LEVEL RESULTS COLUMNS DAY
[Scene is a TV news type report about A Level results day]
REPORTER [talking to camera outside a school where students are crowding outside the hall to get in]:
Well, it's that day again
When A-Level students across the country finally get to find out
What Britain's newspaper columnists think about their results.
[show the interior of the school hall, with long tables, but instead of results papers on them, loads of middle-aged newspaper columnists are all laid out]
[Close up on the COLUMNISTS lying on the table, talking up to a gaggle of excited students desperate to find out what they say]
PETER HITCHENS:
I remember when A-Levels meant something
CLARKSON:
I got a C and two U's
[Cut to outside the hall, the REPORTER is talking to a student]
REPORTER:
And did you get the middle-aged opinions you wanted?
STUDENT:
Yes!
I got one ‘There's Too Much Humanities’,
and two Oxford graduates telling me they went to Oxford.
REPORTER [now doing a voiceover, as we see the students in the school hall next to the columnists on tables, and the students are preparing to jump in the air for a photographer]:
And then the annual photo shoot…
[PHOTOGRAPHER]
One, two, three...
[One of the columnists on the table pipes up with]:
What's The Point Of University in 2026?
[The students all jump for joy]
STUDENTS:
HOORAY!

The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.

If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit.
But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.

Spider Man Rides The Tube
Not every superhero swings through the city, some catch the tube instead.
It took a few attempts to nail the timing, but I finally made the SpiderMan poster look like Spidey is hitching a ride on a passing train. Captured at Oxford Circus station.
