New sky rail station opens - and residents are happy about it

The funny thing is that he's one of the few smart and normal characters on the show, without any ludicrous mental deficiencies or colossal personality flaws, and in his interactions with others he's usually the sensible voice of reason. By the standards of Simpsons characters, he's actually a positive depiction. You know... compared to the problem alcoholics at Moe's, the pervert bartender, the uncaring cynical teachers at the school, the bowed principle in thrall to his overbearing mother, the over-the-top born-again Christian stereotypes next door, the ridiculous "Scottish" groundskeeper, the evil corporate businessman, the shyster doctor, the fat donut-devouring incompetent cop, the corrupt mayor and on and on... Apu is comparatively a paragon of virtue most of the time (except for that one episode where he sold dodgy food items). Is the objection that his voice is done stereotypically like Willy's and Akira's and the Sea Captain's and the Rich Texan's and Cletus's, etc etc etc...?

Retire the simpsons. It’s time.

So actors are only allowed to play their own nationality now?

Ffs just about every character is stereotyped on the Simpsons

The whole premise of the show is taking a cheeky look at exaggerated stereotypes. Flanders is the religious man, groundskeeper willie is scottish, homer is the white male at the head of a nuclear family, etc. I think these criticisms are way off the mark and ridiculous. I haven't heard these other groups carrying on about it, and they're often portrayed in a far less endearing light.

Storm in a teacup, whipped up by a moronic, failed "comedian" desperate for attention. Apu ALWAYS ends up empowered at the end of each episode.

I think Indian people gives a shit on this .. They have other things to do rather watching this cartoon

Willie offends me. I have Scottish heritage. Take away the character

Strange isn't that those Yank Actors we think are Yanks aren't in fact yanks. But are either Brits or instead Aussies who have been trained like Gibson and others in those roles for years now. As many yanks don't have that appeal which or photogenic 'charm' that many directors see in Aussie's instead

Im sure indians dont give a shit honestly!

In the sentence "Lonely millennials are more likely to have mental health problems, be out of work and feel pessimistic about their ability to succeed in life..." the word 'millennials' should be replaced by 'people'.

So people who are isolated are more likely to be depressed than people who aren’t. Thanks Sherlock.

That is soooooooo true

Naveena Movva you'll never be lonely because you'll always have me annoying you with my fears of being alone ❤❤ ironic or efficient?

Karena Lane Sammy Johannesburg what we spoke about today

This is the clown that said he was going to rule like Jupiter. It's fucking hilarious. Trump is the greatest shit stirrer of all time.

Daily reminder:

This is what military support in Syria gets you. Kisses on da cheek, grooming services and holding hands. :-D Wondering what Teresa May is gonna get... <3

Talking down to the boy! Scumbag!

An old man wants to let the young man know who's top dog.

"It could also be possible, of course, that Trump has zero impulse control and says and does whatever pops into his mind." You got it, that is exactly what's happening. There's no reason trying to find strategy in his actions.

Disappointed that Macron didnt get out a wet washer to try and help Trump remove all his make up and fake tan.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad and pathetic. When is this 70+ yr old going to just grow up.

Yes it was disgusting. Even if it were true (and I doubt that) it is the height of rudeness. I have NEVER seen another President do this. Shows how crass he is.

I found the wholw thing disrespectful. He was trying to humiliate the Frenchman

Cringe worthy. 😣No diplomacy there.....surprise surpise!!

I would have ruffled Trumps hair in reply and called him an ragamuffin. He seems like a guy who would really hate to have his hair touched...

Yeah funny Donald. Real funny. I guess you'll pull out your killer fart jokes next? Maybe pretend to vomit in his wife's handbag? What a laugh from the so-called "leader of the free world".

I can see the tweet now: "Low-energy Macron, dandruff on his shoulder. Dirty French. So disrespectful. DISGUSTING!"

Poor Trump can’t see that Macron is doing anything and everything to manipulate him - and it’s clearly working. 👍

Trump had his intel boys run the ruler over Macron months ago and came up with ultimate power play, dandruff diplomacy. Great article Arwa, there is obviously nothing happening in your world right at this moment of more importance.

A leader of nothing who has no manners!

How sick is that?

You have class to sell Trump!

The bully trying to intimidate Macron.

Macron should have kicked the fat slug in his tiny balls.

What a petty little prick.

$100 million to build the war memorial in France $500 million to renovate the war memorial in Canberra Money spent on remembering the dead while living veterans are homeless and living in poverty. I want a memorial to my family members who fought in that terrible war, I want a system of trenches dug into some muddy cold barren field. I want it filled with rats, lice, fleas, mud, damp, the rusty wire, the human sewage the stench of cordite gas and death. Fill the air with the constant noise of bullets bombs and the screams of the wounded and dying. I want anyone who takes office as a politician to live in this trench for a month, eating the rations and wearing the clothes of our diggers. No champaign, no polished floors, no climate controlled environment, no slick audiovisual production. Just the reality of what happens when politicians fail to do what they are paid to do. Lest we forget.

Australia screams never forget, people strut about with medals they didnt earn, racists and "patriots" have a field day on anzac day but meanwhile veterans are homeless or suicidal and nobody cares.

A truly moving and meaningful speech. What a wonderful tribute to honour our Aussie diggers.

Now this is a man who knows how to make a good speech!

Thank you, Prime Minister. A superb and appropriate speech.

😡😡Shame on the ABC TV news tonight for not including even a reference to this beautiful speech!

Julie you will love this

A very impressive speech indeed.

He gets it! Very well said!

Masterful and wonderful!

Merci Monsieur. Merci.

Wonderful!

Always painting Russia as an evil nation. Why can't we put down our differences and come together as one people. We have only one world and the same blood runs through our bodies. Let's love ourselves.

"Stay safe.....socceroos fans", so when they come back are you going to talk to some fans about seeing so called nazi's in russia or will we get RT to do it. Instead of reporting on phantoms how about report actual holligans like I don't know the incident between Roma and Liverpool boofheads, heard lives were threatened. Oh yeah it's actually against the law for people to parade nazi memorabilia in russia so good luck looking for that stuff.

Be careful... I care very much about this!

What about the Nazis that we’re installed in Ukraine... No mention by the Guardian.... Nazi tools

Man made diseases to wiped out the aboriginals people now that's neo-nazi

The rise ? There's been football nazis there since Adam played Striker for Jerusalem …
