I read a list of Glass Onion plotholes, and now I think there needs to be a class in school where they explain what a plothole is. Get rid of PE and replace it with that. A character holding a knife is not a plothole.

"What happened to the knife? It was missing, and then later I saw someone holding it, but no one ever commented on it!" Nooooooooooot a plothole. The character you saw holding the knife PICKED IT UP. And no one commented on it, because it's not radio.

If you took a billionaire's money away, they would just earn it back again. Cream rises to the top. I'm so confident about this, I think we should prove it by taking all the billionaires' money away.

People say Twitter-as-news has made us stupider, but deducing what actually happened from the jokes is a SKILL. You try and make sense of the Bay of Pigs Invasion from two hundred accounts tweeting, 'It's me, I'm the pigs.'.

Look, the NHS is an unmanageable behemoth. Labour tried spending more money on it, and it got better. The Conservatives tried spending less money on it, and it got worse. It's just an intractable problem that we're never going to solve.

I see a lot of lefties complaining about house prices, but one Rosewood Red Multi Brick only costs 62p. Are you telling me you can't save 62p? There are 8000 bricks in a house, so that's £5296. 8000 packs of ciggies cost £5200. Some of you need to LEARN to BUDGET.

To become a millionaire on the internet, you just have to say things like:. Men, stop blinking. Your eyes are meant to be dry. A true warrior keeps his eyes open to scan the horizon for threats. Women and babies blink to get rid of the tears they are crying. #NoBlinkBro.
