1am: awake. Next meeting: 7am. Have passed into the, “I will be worried about not getting to sleep so I will not get to sleep” phase of the night.

Er. You remember Trump’s primary? There were a hell of a lot of Republicans saying the same thing.

Nice day for it! (If it is standing on top of a really big pole with your shirt off)

But anyway, turns out it was on Daily Motion, so now I get to share it with all of you guys.

It’s a surprisingly hard episode to get hold of online. On occasion I have wondered over the last decade whether it was intentionally not broadcast any more by the BBC because of how appallingly dated it now seemed.

And I remember the revulsion that I felt towards Jimmy Carr at that moment that has faded a bit over the last fourteen years, but I don’t think will ever go away.

I remember suddenly realizing that he’d done that joke while on a show that was 2/5ths gay men. Stephen Fry and John Sessions taking it all in good spirits. For some reason.

I remember the sudden and overwhelming wave of anger that came directly with it - anger I hadn’t even entirely realized I’d felt - that I had to live with those stereotypes all my life.

I remember it for a range of reasons. I remember feeling absolutely elated that had challenged a stereotype that had been absolutely normal and apparently acceptable to British society throughout my childhood.

Out of nowhere today, I remembered this TV moment from fourteen years ago, in which is gently taken to task for a lurid piece of homophobia on mainstream British television.

You appear to have a very selective reading of the Bible. Apparently these bits are not bits you think of as the infallible word of god. And frankly, if we get to choose which bits we follow and still call ourselves Christians, I’d probably focus on camels and needles

I’m quoting the word of god, just as you are. You can’t eat shrimp, you can’t wear polyester and cotton, you can’t sit where a woman might have been if she’s menstruated, and if two men are fighting and one of their wives grabs someone’s genitals you have to cut her hand off.

No, they weren’t. They absolutely 100% weren’t. The FBI didn’t even talk to most of the people informed after the allegations came out. That again is simply untrue.

... in entirely inhumane conditions. If you are claiming that’s not the case then you are simply lying or ignorant. This is easily verifiable stuff.

It is true that some small number of children were separated from their parents (suspected to be being trafficked) under Obama and kept in bad conditions. It is also true that Trump made child separation a policy that has affected WILDLY more children and that they’ve been kept..

He has said he won’t even tell people a plan until after he’s elected again. How do you believe this crap?

The Bible says you shouldn’t eat shrimp. The Bible suggests that if a woman interferes in a fight between two men by grabbing their penis, then you should cut her hand off. It’s not a reliable book.

But if you’re looking for *good* things, I guess “Didn’t fuck up Obama’s economy” will have to be enough. Oh and he started that commission into electoral fraud that he then shut down quietly because it was total bullshit.
