Gaydwin's Law: After any news story about Russia in the gay media, within
two minutes someone will post; "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW HITLER STARTED!!!"
Professor Fagburn, after Godwin's Law.
Sadly, while Mike Godwin said bringing the Nazis into an online discussion meant that person had lost the argument and the thread was finished, with Gaydwin's Law writing something like the above is seen as a serious, intelligent and useful contribution to debate.
Further, as Russia's "gay propaganda" law is so similar to Britain's Section 28, it would be better to type; "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THATCHER STARTED!!!"
PS My new week's resolution is to spend less time arguing with idiots.

Fagburn: Worse Than Hitler!!!
Not much gaiety in the papers worth commenting on today, so in the interests of furthering intelligent, informed, reasoned, unhysterical, and highly sophisticated political debate here's a picture of Putin where he looks like Hitler.
Case closed!
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one..." - Godwin's law.
PS The Telegraph sends Catholic anti-gay nonsense-machine Cristina Odone to Milan to interview Dolce & Gabbana - with boring consequences.
UND! The Mirror celebrates 20 years of winsome, orange broadcasting legend Dale Winton on the tellybox - this is quite funny, actually.
Good morrow!

Julie Burchill: Burchill's Law
This sounds woefully out of date. In the Glee-crazy US, the world's finest comic writer, David Sedaris, has remarked that on national signing tours he is often confronted with apparently redneck men who proudly push forward their fragrant adolescent sons and assure Mr Sedaris that they, too, are gay. If you want to make a point about contemporary prejudice against homosexuals, surely it would make a far more challenging show to go to a series of Muslim states and prance around in pantaloons? But of course, then the consequences would be no laughing matter."
Julie Burchill (Obviously), The Independent.
• Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
• Burchill's Law: As her newspaper column grows longer, the probability of Julie writing "Try doing that in a Muslim country!" approaches one.
