Chortle, “The UK Comedy Guide,” has a story (original, we think) on comic Liam Mullone who is rebelling against “extremists and safety fascists who are sucking the soul out of Britain.”

The Times of London obit writer who once dug graves for a living plans to offer rides around town in his customized hearse– where smokers can light up if they want to.

He calls smokers “the new Jews” and he adds, “I don’t actually smoke myself. But now that doing so is such an act of rebellion I think I’ll start on July 1.”
