Paging Pseud's Corner...

Dreda Say Mitchell in the 'Guardian' pontificating on the 'Coronation Street' joke furor:
The notion that someone would think it’s acceptable for a white, female character to trivialise Kunta Kinte as she talks about her hair roots is also out of kilter with how many black women have been using their natural hair roots on a journey of political and social expression. For many black women, myself included, our hair has helped us to reclaim our cultural identity and redefine notions of beauty. This is captured in the great scene in How To get Away With Murder, where Viola Davis rips off her wig to reveal her natural hair, making black women worldwide punch the air.

Nope, me neither!

The caravan utilising nomadic traveller have apparently parked in a loading bay. The solution is simple. Drop a container so they are blocked in. It's Halford's property so they can do what they like.

WTF do they consume at the Grauniad? Bat shit?

One of the facets of the English language is the ease with which utter bollocks may be written in the style of good English. The words might be fine individually, but when strung together in this manner it's not even pseud, it's just unreconstituted bollocks.

A great idea. But not, I think, for this post..? ;)

"WTF do they consume at the Grauniad?"

The profits from 'Auto Trader' mostly. What'll happen when that runs out?

"The words might be fine individually, but when strung together in this manner it's not even pseud, it's just unreconstituted bollocks."

And yet the idiots lap it up and beg for more...

It's the emperor's new clothes, isn't it, Julia?

The idiots lap it up and beg for more because they don't understand it (there is of course, nothing to understand) but they're terrified of being the recipient of the epithets hurled by the left/SJWs at those who aren't in step.
