Summary

It's Saturday Bitchin' and our Hannah's getting her tits in a twist again. Know who'd probably tweet about that? Toby (fucking) Young, Titmaster General and all-round ridiculous egg. Since we recorded this, he's stepped down from the Office for Students, presumably to concentrate on tweeting about the lady lumps, but there are many MANY reasons he should never have got the role in the first place.

Anyway, just to prove that he could actually be an even bigger prick than I thought he could be, Toby Young has gone and resigned, which means that this isn't necessarily entirely topical,

1:08.4

but we've decided to release it anyway, because A, it's still an important point that he was given the job in the first place and B, something not being entirely a thing, hasn't stopped people bitching about bendy bananas.

So anyway, here you go.
