Have you read this, la? Regardless of your feelings about Bercow, it's hard not to enjoy the sheer brutality of it.

Second good piece I have read on unherd today
Loved this line "It is also the story ofhow John Bercow came to be the man he almost is".
Other piece from Simon Evans is https://unherd.com/2020/02/why-mock-...ing/?=frbottom
Yes, that was my favourite, too. Although the opening line ran it a close second.Second good piece I have read on unherd today

I saw the Simon Evans piece. Very good, although you'd like to have hoped that it wouldn't need to be said gloating about someone else's misery (brought about by tragic personal circumstances wholly beyond their control) isn't really a good look.

I mean...unless it's a Tottenham player or something. That would be different.
At the Simon Evans gig last Friday, about 5 minutes before he was due on stage I tweeted him a photo of the audience (taken from the back of the room) and said "Never seen so many white people in one place. Fascist".
He promptly came on and started the gig by riffing on my tweet for a few minutes
Anyway, more interestingly, as revealed during the gig, he recently found out (through a DNA test) that he's half-Jewish! His real dad was a prolific Jewish sperm doner who fathered over 1,000 children. The upshot of this is that in seconds Simon Evans went from thinking he was an only child to having over 1,000 half-siblings (many of whom he has now connected with in real life).
Mental, huh?
Prob best not to mention anything on Twitter to avoid spoilers.

Also, could you please correct your spelling of 'donor'. Nobody wants to think about a 'sperm doner' - let alone a Jewish one!
