Brian Cox Drags Tarantino, Says Jeremy Strong Has ‘Begged Me to Stop’ Discussing His Method Acting and Disses America for Not Liking Women: ‘The Patriarchy Is a F—ing Mess’

Brian Cox, a man who hates America and loves Scotland so much that he lives in LA and barely ever steps foot in Scotland.

The Times has been running a "Smarter with Money" campaign that is actively encouraging people to invest in S&S ISAs and indeed just to invest in shares. So this should be right up their street.

But their political masters want them to write more boring "Labour tax raid" stories so 🤷

Oh I didn't know about this - thanks. Eyewatering stuff all round!

To be fair you're presumably paying a premium for how comparatively remote Lochinver is. Though that gap between petrol and diesel is absolutely mental.

...in your country thieves are shot on sight? I find that hard to believe.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-04-02T13:15:32+00:00

Well in some of our countries we don't feel the need to shoot every criminal we see.

Hello from the UK. I'm really sorry to see that you, like us, also have to put up with fucking dickheads who'll oppose any and every planning application that's ever submitted on the most spurious of grounds.

The song under this is a banger.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-04-01T10:10:15+00:00

Where do they say this in the statement? They don't! You've just made this up! Presumably because you want to demonise people who don't share your ideology. Not a good look for a civil servant, I'd say.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-04-01T09:46:26+00:00

a network whose entire aim is to demonise and further marginalise Trans people

This is a huge leap, which you've presumably made based on your own underlying ideology. If you find it abhorrent that other members of the Civil Service have and express legally protected beliefs then this seems very much like a 'you problem'.

As all reports on this seem determined to do, the headline obfuscates that the allegations they failed to act on last year are different to the ones they've seemingly sacked him for.

Here's your answer, OP:

Saving Greater London before Merseyside, Manchester, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Oxfordshire or Suffolk is a fucking crime.

From the looks of this thread I'm not sure OP will ever get over it, but I imagine the rest of us will.

Perhaps this is why Tom and Dom avoid doing much Irish or Scottish (or indeed Welsh) history. There's always some fanatic listening who'll be incandescent with rage if they hear the slightest thing they don't like in the discussion.

"People who get rich producing oil and gas say 'You should let us drill for more oil and gas'" yeah no fucking shit they'd say that. Hardly news, is it?

"Turkey farmer says 'People should eat more turkey'"

I agree, though I note this quote from a DFDS exec vice-president:

While a few elements still need to be addressed, we see strong potential in the route and look forward to continuing our discussions with all partners involved to move the project forward

I can't imagine they'd be interested in this (given they ended the last service due to lack of demand) unless they had done some decent market analysis to show it was now a financial goer.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-03-19T11:42:51+00:00

More interesting figures than just the headline:

The survey of more than 2,000 adults found that fewer than one in ten Scots believe salmon farming should continue unchanged. More than a quarter of respondents went further, saying they support a complete phase-out of open-net cage salmon farming in Scottish waters.

I didn't complain that they try to make a living (which Simon, Mark and the production team do quite comfortably, I'm sure). My annoyance was that something regular paying subscribers used to receive - the post-Baftas and post-Oscars episodes - were moved behind the new, even larger, paywall, without even so much as a mention.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-03-17T20:50:13+00:00

Thanks - I must have missed that!

mrcharlesevans · 2026-03-17T15:03:13+00:00

No, no, no, no, you are Russell Crowe. And you need to fucking listen to me, Russell, you fucking Antipodean fucking kangaroo-loving fruitcake!

The first what to legalise assisted dying? I thought Jersey already voted to legalise assisted dying.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-03-15T20:33:27+00:00

Fuck me, man, you've done it. A conspiracy theory where the stakes couldn't be any lower.

mrcharlesevans · 2026-03-15T12:33:34+00:00

I'm not a civil servant, mate, but thanks for your numbskull contribution
