I'd like to be able to call Kier Starmer the C-word in public but understandably this might offend a lot of people, so instead I'm going to call him an Unrinsed Fleshlight.

@cstross Why?

A spade is a spade.

I once called Cameron a cunt to his face while he was filming with a BBC news crew on Princes St. I wonder if it's in the archives?

@tanepiper Yeah, but we're in Scotland, where "cunt" is an affectionate term of endearment between friends: a lot of my readers are in the Excited Snakes of America where you can be mistaken for an incel if you use it as an expletive. Regional usage varies!
