A Dome That Sucked, Part 1
It's the free one!
This week, we have the full cast of TF together to review the history of the Millennium Dome, a New Labour attempt to create a modern exposition of Britain. It definitely became an exhibition of how weird the inner circle of Blair’s Labour was, but it’s largely regarded as a failure–and we learn about how it transformed a chunk of Greenwich from the Goop Zone into the Empty Luxury Flat Zone.

This is an amazing walkthrough of our dome. It's highly chaotic and accidentally vague. It's amazing. https://youtu.be/EVl1jHrCAs4
I only narrowly avoided a school trip to the dome by being born 15 years too early. What a relief to visit the Cutty Sark three times instead.
for good dome, it is of course vital to not neglect the (surf) balls
That whole "Surf Ball" thing is the most centrist-brained thing I think I have ever heard.
12:24 This would not be the first or last time that Prescott's career would suffer dome-related issues.
I now politically identify as a halloumi Hoxhaist. Without any doubt.
Absolutely haunting to remember the Dome as a kid growing up in Bromley. Sang songs about it in school and everything
Milo’s “120 days of SoDome” pun didn’t get the credit it deserved.
According to the Bank of England inflation calculator, it would’ve cost £98.12 in 2020 money for a family of three!
I still remember a CBBC programme, where there was a competition, and the grand prize was the chance to walk around in an extended tour inside the body of the dome. Can't remember which though, might have been 50/50, or Blue Peter. Could be either. Had something body related to it.
Nate is right- there’s also the Dome of Discovery of 1951. Demolished by Churchill though.
Ahh the de Sade reference fell flat. Very sad.
Would Balthasar Speedboat be allowed in the Dome?
Is there a list of all the Milo Brendan O'Neil episodes?
The ones who walk away from domelas
just hearing the Gorka voice saying "Join me in the dome-jo, Mr. Chapo" in my head throughout the entire episode
"Join me; in the Faith Zone"
appointing myself 'Minister for the Dome' cos its my birthday
Brb changing my twitter handle to @halumihoxhaist
Getting sucked off by a dome, that's what Blair wanted those days
