I came across that information after I posted it. :irked:

That's a shame, that was one of my favourite stories of the week.
 
Nope. I'm not gonna let that spoil it for me. It's still believable.

Edit: Aaaaand that's what happens when you don't refresh. Oh well, the topic didn't change.
 
So...yeah...I need another bagel because I'm definitely not eating this one again.

I am not sure if it's funny or horrifying that someone in power would think that is the solution.

Trust me, it isn't being funny at all. The exaltation of mediocrity plus truculence this government and his flatterers are supporting will only lead us to disaster, morally and civilizatory. That's a problem when your country is lured by far-right stupidity.

To add, this "joke" was told to deflect the fact that he is supporting illegal deforestation, for mining, agriculture and timbering purposes, in forest reservation areas. He also uses a diffused hate against indians (with 1600s sort of stereotypes) to defend this. I'm not quoting many other delinquencies, but if you search his views (prepare the liver first) for secondary subjects, that he uses to deflect real problems, this thread would be filled...

Detectorists, accidental cannabis cakes, can't think of the joke but I know it's in there somewhere. BBC.
