“Oh no – Heathrow closed again!”
White suburban insects, that is. All the guy is missing is a cup of coffee in his hand.
In this future ‘Get Carter’ would probably set off Britain’s white exploitation film genre.
I heard the whites were all abuzz about this book.
Well, this doesn’t seem so bad… *reads blurb* Ah, OK, I see… no.
I wasn’t at Gatwick on The Day of the Drones* but yes, I suspect this is pretty much what the departure lounge looked like after the first few hours.
*Yeah I know it was actually three days but the novelisation condenses it to one for dramatic effect.
Seems that white guy is at a disadvantage … on RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Toxic sequel to the toxic Turner Diaries.
Normally I’d make a Boris Johnson joke but it’s just too depressing today.
Wonder how many times Trump has read this.

I think there’s something wonky with her arm.
And, reading that blurb… this sounds bad.
Bet this book generated a lot of buzz when it first came out.
@Tat: I thought of Boris too, but the hair’s entirely too kempt.
Terrible art for a no-doubt terrible book.
@Bruce: hee.
@GSSxN: He’s perfectly capable of looking kempt – just not when there’s a camera around.
I was also tjhinking ‘drones’ as in the club of ghastly posh boys in PG Wodehouse.
@Tat: “Ghastly posh boys” is Boris, all right. (Been too long since I read Wodehouse)
Is she doing some wild dance? Or trying to slap away all the flying bees?
I think the guy in the background is wanking off…which explains the swooning pose of the lady in the front.
The blurb is “sus” and “cringe,” as the kids say.
