  • A bloke in the pub last week was telling everyone that Musk had, since his daughter’s transition, gradually got into “raping and choking trans prostitutes” and “screaming at them and calling them sissies”, and he’d accidentally killed one (or two?) by strangulation, and this was what Putin had evidence/video footage of, which he was using for blackmail.

    Obviously “a bloke in the pub” isn’t exactly the most reliable of news sources - and I can’t (currently) find any other mention of this anywhere at all, so I think it’s a little questionable… but not impossible.



  • It is often traditionally considered to be an achievement in Britain, yes.

    Ideally you don’t get drunk though - you should be able to drink as much alcohol as possible, whilst showing as few effects as possible, for some reason. If you become drunk after too few alcoholic drinks, you “can’t handle your drink” and you are a “lightweight”. These are both negative characteristics in a person.

    I’m not saying I necessarily agree with this, I’m just saying it exists :)






  • Well, the article says “approximately 93%” go to proper schools, so I suppose it must be very slightly made up?

    I also made a slight assumption that 100% minus 93% would leave us with 7% - but I didn’t go to Eton, so I assume my maths is likely incorrect.

    Anyway, to be fair, I am making an assumption and I’m missing out on those who are home schooled, as well as those in referral units or special education or those who don’t go to school at all.

    As a side note - do home schoolers and non-schoolers recieve special tax breaks for “not using up a state school space”?

    Anyway, it can’t affect the numbers that much, as it still shows as “7% actually use these schools” on the government’s own website:

    gov.uk - Elitism in Britain (2019): “Just 7% of British people are privately educated”

    Note that this is your Tory friends from 5 years ago - it’s not the current Labour Government who are proposing removing the tax breaks on private schools.
