  1. Seems like somebody has been taking Ben Aaronovitch’s work a little too seriously!

  2. I started reading thinking “here we fucking go, idiot’, but then read the full thing – What a champ!

  3. You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

  4. As soon as you read the headline you know exactly what this guy is going to look like. It’s not going to be some 54 year old accountant from Ipswich is it?

  5. “He was met with a “quizzical” look from the court usher, who asked him to do a sip test to ensure it was not a toxic substance.”

    wtf, it can be plenty bad for you to sip without being a danger to the court. The article doesn’t say whether he refused to sip it.

  6. He calls himself an environmentalist but if everyone took water out of the river to swear an oath then there’d be no river left
