Did all British comedy turn disgusting this century?
UK comedian Johnny Vegas, starred in a film adaptation of one of David Walliams’ children’s books. This is from one of his comedy shows in 2008:
“Vegas insisted that [a young woman] allow herself to be carried on to the stage by 6 members of the audience - he called them "pall bearers". She must pretend to be dead, he said, and he would bring her back to life with an onstage kiss. He warned her that there probably would be tongues.”
“As she was carried on stage, Vegas repeatedly goaded one of the pallbearers to "finger" the girl.
Once she was on stage, Vegas told her to lie very still. She couldn't stop her nervous giggling; he threatened to kick her in the ribs.”
“Eventually Vegas crouched down beside the nervous girl and started stroking her breasts while repeatedly saying, "don't f*cking move". Then he ran his hand up her leg and began pulling her skirt up. Every time he looked up to address the audience, she would reach down and pull her skirt back down, but he kept pulling it back up.
Vegas ended up "fingering her through her clothes for a second or two".
The more the young woman was groped, the more anxious one of the "pallbearers" looked. Then Vegas straddled the young woman, pinning her to the floor, and kissing her for quite a while.”
“Most disturbing, perhaps was that around half the audience seemed to find this really funny.”

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quoted 2008 Guardian article has an appended clarification: after Vegas complained, his solicitors reported the woman said she took part willingly and did not feel intimidated, scared or abused. Vegas also denied the groping allegation. theguardian.com/world/2008/may… independent.co.uk/news/people/pr…

"The streets of Paris are filled with revolutionary sentiment, the climate’s cooked, people’s rights are being taken away, no one can afford anything because like three people have all the money, and you’re out here, avocado toasting all over again, calling everyone else dumb?"

“Opposing AI is the same as opposing the Industrial Revolution.”
The Industrial Revolution gave us power, clean water, jobs, cheap clothes, transit and phones.
AI churns out junk content, displaces workers, and drains our water, power and gas supplies.

#breaking Newcastle has just banned protesting for the climate.
At the same time, Prime Minister Albanese is in Turkiye for climate negotiations; Labor backed banning climate protests at home, at the world’s largest coal port.

Richard Osman has nailed Russell Brand here all ends up
Explaining Brands spin of playing a victim trying to be silenced by the establishment who don’t like him speaking the truth
The real truth was he knew he was a sexual abuser and the walls were closing in on him

10 November 1967:
The Beatles film three promotional clips for Hello, Goodbye.
Paul McCartney and Tony Bramwell co-direct the shoot, for which the Beatles wear their Sgt Pepper uniforms and 1963 collarless suits.

Trump now owns $10 million of data center stocks.
His personal investments are destroying our communities and will take our jobs.

The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas

We've lived for millennia without AI, but now all of a sudden, it's essential?
Even mandatory?
No, we should refuse to be slaves to the tech bros
They need us to accept & integrate it into our lives in order to profit from it
We're being manipulated into being cash cows

Every house with a double garage, two parking spaces, and street parking too. Truly grim stuff.
These homes were built from scratch in just four months.
Single-storey homes featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms and open-plan living areas.
They were delivered through an innovative construction trial.
Combining prefabricated modules with traditional building methods.
This is just one of the many levers we’re pulling to deliver the homes South Australians need, faster.
Every week saved in construction means a family is getting into their own home sooner.

The wildest thing about AI-generated branding is that it’s doing literally everything designers have spent decades telling clients NOT to do.
Copying competitors. Chasing trends. Using generic visuals. Looking like everyone else.
And somehow we’re calling it innovation.

Google announcing that schools banning AI will also lose access to Google Search is a pretty good opportunity to teach the next generation that Google isn’t the internet and that there are plenty of alternatives to its platforms. Maybe it’s time schools started exploring them.
Are these family homes? No front yard and no back yard. And this is the premier who wants to get kids off their devices.
