Just clicked on the word ‘Putin’ in the trending column on Twitter. He did a speech yesterday and a bunch of nutters all think he’s great. Click it if you want to fill your morning with lameness. ---

Horrendously sad news but the fact he was only 77 is really surprising. I feel like he was an old man 25 years ago. ---

Asked my son if he’d like to see a Lego minifig that is autistic. He said yes. I asked him how you’d be able to tell if the minifig was autistic and he said they’d have ‘a little autism band on their yellow arm’. There ya go - my son was down for mini figs like him. Apparently they changed the headline quick smart…. ---

Haha, yes, I did think it was you returning. Nice 12 months off? We’re OK thanks, as good as can be I’m sure you’ll understand 😆 Its bullshit - and clearly it is being parroted by grown adults as someone mentioned this to my wife today, even using the word ‘woke’, who promptly corrected said person. As you say, why even news? Far more important stuff to be looking at. The epic levels of shithousery and incompetence on display by the current Government might be a good place to begin. Not toys aimed at and created for kids. ---
