Well she's already done more for me than my president has to provide comfort and clarity in this crisis.

To continue this year's theme of "Heart-breaking meets absurdist satire", Boris Johnson's Tory NHS doesn't have enough gowns, masks, and basic medical supplies, sooo a fetish gear supplier is donating their stock. .-.

You are correct. That is indeed absurd.

How DARE the NHS not be prepared for a once in a lifetime event. What is your solution, Fuzzball? The NHS should have hoarded a few million gowns and masks for something that hasn't happened on this scale since 1918?

There is a reason why London grinds to a halt every time we have a serious snowfall whilst the likes of New York and Moscow just keep on going: it only snows properly literally once a year thanks to global warming so no one sees the need to buy snowploughs. By your logic, we should spend a couple of million pounds on a fleet of the things to clear the streets for the one day that they are needed.

Oh, yeah. Saw that on Twitter. Say what you will about Thirteen's Era, very few if any of its shortcomings can be pinned on Whitticker. Similar to, but not as insane as, Six's Era and Baker, now that I think about it.
Apart from her stilted acting you mean?

Her acting has been best part of seasons she has been in so far. If you had bothered to watch those you would know that but clearly you haven't. All you need to do is watch both parts of Spyfall to see how good she is. Especially scenes she shares with The Master's new actor as well as her reaction at end to Califrey being destroyed by The Master.
