'Boring psychos' return to power with Trump's election win: Rolling Stone reporter

Raw Story

Donald Trump's election win revealed the "boring psychos" hiding behind the mask of America's wealthy elites, according to a new analysis.

Pandemonium review: Armando Iannucci’s cod-literary Covid satire won’t thrill weary audiences

The Independent

Long before Armando Iannucci was the telly satirist behind squirm-inducingly accurate gems like The Thick of It and The Day Today, he was a postgrad student, dutifully ploughing his way through a thesis on 17th-century religious literature. His debut play Pandemonium is a Covid-era political satire that feels miserably ponderous and out of date, even without the cumbersome references to …
