This is a normal post Christ, that show never ends
Did they ever express contrition at platforming Boris back in the day? Surely such a self-deprecating bumbling wheeze must be a nice chap, ay viewers?

This is a normal post I vaguely remember they did address the idea that they were somehow responsible for him becoming PM,
and pointed out how fatuous it was.

This is a normal post how jolly nice for them to absolve themselves
of course, these shows have no effect as would-be leaders have little interest in public image and exposure, as boris's 4 appearances and hosting slot attest.
I recall how Clinton received no boost from appearing on the arsenio hall show, too, not endearing himself as a likeable sax playing dude to a national audience. it would be fatuous to suggest otherwise

This is a normal post Hislop always gave him a hard time, and Merton wasn’t on side either.
I think it was his first appearance when Hislop skewered him on Darius Guppy. Subsequent appearances didn’t go much better. But, yes, he bumbled through and got laughs. I hardly think they can be blamed for his subsequent elevation though. That’s a bit mental tbh.

This is a normal post again with the black and white
expressing regret at repeatedly platforming the cunt is not saying Hignify is solely responsible for him being PM, and wouldn't have killed them. Boris's trick has always been the affable bumbling self-mocking persona masks some pretty nasty politics
(, Wed 6 Dec 2023, 1:53, Reply)
This is a normal post Well what are you saying? Should he have been no-platformed?
That they should have expressed regret that subsequently to appearing on the show he turned out not to be the best PM we’ve ever had?
I used to love HIGNFY, I don’t like it or watch it anymore, but I just cannot understand your anger at them. I think it’s misdirected, at best. Hislop has always been hypercritical of Johnson. For years. Since long before his appearance on the show. And he was on the show.

“tests showed it was live with a very small amount of charge”

The full version was designed to fuck up an entire ship. A practice version would be easily capable of fucking up an elderly gardener.

Practice shell or not, picking up ordnance from a firing range is pretty dumb, bashing said ordnance with garden tools knowing its origin spectacularly so.

This is a normal post Hmmm. They called it a "missile".
I don't know if anyone here has a strong opinion about whether a missile is always guided or can be a shell like this one.
(, Mon 4 Dec 2023, 14:44, Reply)
This is a normal post A guided missile is so called because it's a missile equipped with a system of guidance.
A missile is generally a self propelled projectile, but it can also be any object thrown or launched with intent to damage a target, e.g. a bullet or a chalkboard rubber.

I feel very strongly about maintaining this ambiguity.
(, Mon 4 Dec 2023, 19:23, Reply)
This is a normal post ^Anyone ambiguous about this strong opinion?
I'd appreciate it if the powers that be made all missiles guided by nature of being missiles so i could be very withering about the inappropriate usage to someone online.
"Oh i think you'll find a rock is very much NOT a mi...", i think nuance and there not actually being a right answer is hugely overrated.
(, Mon 4 Dec 2023, 21:43, Reply)
This is a normal post You are entitled to a little ambiguity too,
in that the act of aiming a throw/launch/fire/impulse/whatever is, in a sense, guiding that object to its target.

This is a normal post I'm ambivalent about nuanced ambiguity.
