"Antifa are the true fascists!" is a take so stupid that anyone gabbling it shouldn't be allowed near sharp objects and should have mittens sewn to their sleeves.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

Oh no. Sometimes the obituaries just seem to come in like waves. Generations pass, I suppose. The water gets closer.

That's The English Middle Class for you. Half of them constantly bemoan the fact that they don't rule the world any more, and the other half think they still do.

Guess what just flew through my letterbox, and thunked hard on my welcome mat, due to being VERY sturdily-packaged?

Picture of the new issue of HELLEBORE magazine, which just arrived chez moi. It's being held up between two bookends. One is of Great Cthulhu, perched on a stone plinth. The other is of a raven, perched upon a skull, which itself is sat on a pile of three books by Edgar Allan Poe. An action figure of Poe himself, with a raven on his left shoulder, stands off to the right.

Fingers crossed they'll get us sorted soon. At least I'm handling #TheFilmCrowd next week, so my inability to post hashtags won't matter so much for a while.

Phenomenal final moments. Right up there with the finale of the original Hammer DRACULA. A fitting end to one of Hammer's best (not counting THAT scene).
