I've now reached the point where I can't tell if that's a genuine photo or one of your creations, Moley. God knows, it could be either

It's both. I added four rubber-clad human 'dogs', the bee police idiot, Tatchell and Buttergasp - and sadly, the rest is a real photo at a London Pride event.

Oh, and one diminutive Gruaniad 'journalist'.

Why did I hear that in Delia Smith's voice as she talks us through a recipe on TV? Maybe a soufflé.

Well, to be fair I did type it it that very same manner.

You... nasty person, Moley! There should be a warning on that - I've only just finished my dinner, and now I feel very sick 🤮 I really liked the new inclusive headgear bottom right, though! 😁 😁

Apologies! Send all laundry bills to The Met, New Scotland Yard, London. 😁

That's how I felt, and just after having a part-time female dominatrix show up at my house! She forgot to mention this when we were talking on the phone about her working on our property (we're looking for someone to live here and help out). Mr Mole, do you have any idea what a part-time female dominatrix is? I feel so out of it.

I have an idea - But I've just been told that I am not allowed to tell you.

Awwwwwww. I'm guessing I know, but I wish I didn't!

Well, I will try and have a guess then...

A' part-time female' is obviously Eddie Izzard.

And I think a 'dominatrix' as a game where you race little electric dominoes around a toy race track using metallic slots to guide the pieces and give them power...

But I could be wrong...

Your part-time female is perfect! but I thought dominatrix was when your opponent at dominoes was losing and got out her/his whip!

Taken me years to realise this... but that GMP egg has repurposed a Mr Blooby costume, hasn't he? I know there are cuts, but really!

'Pup' costumes ideal for policing those cruising bushes Thatchell wanted protected. Just make sure you don't get mistaken for a regular or someone will give the doggy a bone!

The Bee costume is bespoke. Made for about 800 quid if I recall, for Manchester police (GMP) and a pride event in (I think( 2018)

There are two at least. One 'male' and one 'female'.

As a service paid for by the public purse, no police officer should be in a photograph such as this. It sends the wrong message to the public. I would not want any of these officers attending to a phone call from me as I don't know if they are capable of being neutral and of doing their job without bias.

Their senior officers need to take a lead and shut this nonsense down. If they want to be in photos, such as these in their own time, that is different but not in uniform. Totally out of order

I agree with you Mandy JR, well said.

It is telling that the police do not advertise Greenpeace, Amnesty, RSPCA or Women's Rights groups - for example - on their uniforms, logos and cars isn't it?

I WONDER why that is?

Nope... Can't think.

Something beginning with..... 'S'

Is Butterworth real? I see he's a journalist for The Guardian but... he appears on Good Morning Britain way too often for a guy who just gets repeatedly ridiculed. As much as I enjoy him losing every debate he ever has, I was wondering if he was just an actor or prop for Piers to stage an argument with... hm... now that I see he's actually a Guardian journo... and also that The Guardian is trash... maybe I'm less surprised than I thought...

Perhaps 'journalist' is a better way of putting it?

He is a 'go to' talking head. A lightweight no-mark, with all the attributes of a pseudo-intellectual amoeba struggling for existence around one of the primordial Deep-Sea Smoker chimneys at the bottom of the Atlantic.

He fits right in at the Guardian clearly - as they are the largest and most vociferous, myopic purveyors of this gender-driven ideological bandwagon outside of Pink 'News' and the Stonewall monthly, 'Captured' magazine.

So, no... he is not real.

Well, quite! The additional leather and plastic-bound characters are all extracted from pictures fro real Pride events... sadly.
