Not exactly a disincentive

The thing abour reading Stand On Zanzibar, written in 1967 and set in 2010, is you can say, “Ha, ha, that never happened!” in a superior tone.
    Not that the author, John Brunner, would be worried as he was paid for his efforts decades ago and moved on.

Cemented in position

Marsman Musk has the right idea about job security. He can’t be removed from his job as the boss of Space X unless a majority of Class B shareholders approve it.
    He owns 90% of these shares.

Could work

It has been pointed out that Jonah Gollum’s HAFNIA (as in 'a clue') shirt has to be at least 41 years old as that’s when that particular sponsorship deal ended.
    Could it be that he’s hoping that Lord Pally will notice and buy him a nice, new set of outfits?

Future disastrous

A really good doombugger scenario is the one for government debt interest if Jonah Burnbum gets to be Prime Fantasist. All the cash raised by HMG will end up going abroad to pay off that interest, which will leave Nett Zero for the government’s benefits clients.
    Will that result in a bloody revolt? Nope, because there will be no food in the shops and they’ll all be too weak from hunger to get stroppy.

Welcome to Israel, not

Israel’s security minister is getting a booting over the treatment of a gang of attention-seeking supporters of the Hamas.
    The bloke did an on-line gloat over a video of people who had tried to deliver a token amount of aid to Gaza tied up and kneeling with their head on the ground in the Islamist prayer position after their flotilla had been illegally intercepted in international waters.

The search for new

Finding something different to say about an ancient monument can be a challenge. But the Stonehengeologists have come up with something – a sarcen stone race with teams competing to haul 30-ton slabs of rock the 20 miles from their source.

Bash the bully?

What’s a great way to upset Labour’s Chief Whip? Expose with examples. the smear tactics which are used by No. 10 stooges against their own MPs, including claiming their mental ’elf is up the creek.
