@swerytd Ha! Ace.

Horrible day. Went for a walk and found Stick Man dead on the pavement.

[Stuart Pointon @StuartCPointon1]

This is very very funny. And the ending should make you feel very very angry. Congratulations to all involved.

Delighted to have had a typically sophisticated poo joke included on this week's fine show.

Come in for the swearing.
Leave with a brilliant piece on US gun ownership.

Fortune enough to have a couple of little chunks in this week's News soup. Or News stew, whichever you prefer. Could maybe be a News Gumbo, or is that the same as Stew? Dunno.

@swerytd Thanks Dan!

[Stuart Pointon @StuartCPointon1]

In a week of horror news , I'm delighted to have squeezed a bit into this. As always, funny but absolutely terrifying.
*(And it might the first time Andy Burnham has made me laugh quite so much, so congrats whoever thought of it.)
