So surely a fascist salute is only a fascist salute if it comes with a fixed protocol, a standard usage, and a set of instructions for everyone to join in? Otherwise isn’t it just some computer plonker dicking about?

Anyway, the template for the next four years is set. I had two separate teams at the Safari last night who both chose to call their team “F*CK TRUMP” and another one called “HI-HO, HI-HO, IT’S OFF TO THE GRASSY KNOLL WE GO”.

Murder, murder, murder!

Kill, kill, kill!

But what to do? Say Trump/Musk are fascists. What do you actually do about it? Like, practically?

The answer will be “nothing”. Most of the action over the coming four years will consist of complaining from the “left” and cheering from the “right”.

Then nothing will happen except that rich people get richer. That’s my prediction. I’m not seeing death camps, to be honest.

Anyway, just in case mass incarceration programs do come our way, you’d better get out and come the quizzes while you still can. Here’s tonight’s line-up

Music Round Clue for West Port Oracle:

This is Charli XCX and her song appears in the the music round tonight at West Port Oracle. To me, this song feels very recent. Turns out it was released in 2014, which is now more than TEN year ago. Crazy.
