Post-election reactions
Sorry I haven’t updated. I spent the last three weeks getting drunk to celebrate the election of Joe Biden as America’s 47th white vice-president. I never thought I’d live to see the day. Me and some other whites went out for a drink, then after a few port and lemons Giles Poncington (a pasty acquaintance of mine) starts asking if Biden is white enough. This led to a sharp exchange of views with Biffo Dingethorpe, who argued that Boris Johnson is even whiter than Biden, and yet a bigger arse-head you shall not see in a summer’s day.
The discussion soon degenerated into a snarling melee between the Whites and the Very Whites, and to cut a long story short I just got out on bail this morning…

Willie Brown was was at a party last week and this brother comes up and says to him, "Willie Brown, even with the housing market and the economy, this has been a really great year for black people."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we got Obama."
Then he said, "But you know, come to think of it, it was a good year for white people, too."
"Why's that?" I asked.
