It's worth noting that Coskun was only fined about £300 for disorderly behaviour, and what he actually did was set fire to a Quran and then yell islamophobic abuse at people whilst waving it at them, which is almost certainly why he actually got the fine. This is wholly vice signalling.

That is fair, I think I might just have been spoiled by how good Euro-Country and Man's Best Friend have been that my reaction was "really? This is the biggest star right now?"

Appreciating there's a reason it's their big hit, but god, Nothing Matters is really excellent, properly brutally raw.

There's layers and layers, the original love story itself culminating in Rick's sacrifice, the later reading of whether Ilsa actually ever means anything with Rick, the film itself as a metaphor for American involvement in the war...

Marvellous column by @rafaelbehr.bsky.social that absolutely nails Kemi Badenoch - who clearly very deeply believes that the mere act of 'well, I'm saying it' means that something must be thoughtful, even if it is just a more innumerate and caustic echo of Nigel Farage:
Badenoch’s ‘thoughtful Conservatism’ turns out to be just the slower road to Faragism | Rafael Behr
The Tory leader’s intellectual meanderings have shrunk her party into little more than a holding pen for future Reform party candidates, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr
