When we talk about the need for a Hillsborough Law and for a change in the culture of the police, you only have to look at this tone-deaf, brazen and offensive response to the IOPC Hillsborough report from the South Yorkshire Police Federation
Police federation told 'shame on you' after Hillsborough comments
Families blast statement from police officer organisation which called IOPC report a 'waste of time and money'

They never faced criminal charges. They can't be stripped of their pensions. One of them is still a knight of the realm.

The estblishment of this country is rotten to the core. #JFT97

This week's podcast is upon us. This week, stupid alogrithms, trebuchets vs the stocks, and some pre-Christmas chatter.

(Oh yes, and some football.)

We've got a bumper 100 minutes of podcast for you this week, including pe-Christmas chat and the great "Is Mikel Arteta a DILF or not?" debate.

A bit later than I'd anticipated, but some words on last night's match between Manchester United and Everton. So long you treat it as a soap opera rather than sport, it can be cracking entertainment.

Peak Manchester United run head-first into Peak Everton on a Monday of Premier League low comedy
It's tempting to think that both clubs were doing a bit when they met at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Liverpool have had a perplexing start to the season, but there's one lens through which it does make sense, and it's the one that's probably most difficult of all.

Liverpool, and the elephant in the room
Liverpool's start to the Premier League season may partly be explained by their summer transfer window, but it may also be ascribable to something else.

This is a beautiful collection of poems inspired and influenced by Maya Angelou's faith and love for humanity, and listening to her read them is a joy. Amazing Peace is such a gorgeous, moving poem to listen to at Christmas. #BookSky💙📚

NEW EPISODE: I would say this week's is quite gentle if you're in the market for some conversational fridge noise.
This week's podcast is upon us, and as it was an international break weekend that means a readers' questions special!

(Recorded while Scotland were beating Denmark, meaning that I didn't even get to see Kenny McLean's goal until about 1am)

This is an amusingly daft book. It's quite self-indulgent and very silly, with Ayoade interviewing himself and going off on rambling tangents, but that's kind of the point. #BookSky💙📚

This is an odd but funny novel; a dark, farcical satire. Some of the language is very 'of its time' - the casual antisemitism in particular made me wince - but its depiction of the military leaders and bureaucracy as incompetent, arrogant, petty, and often drunk is very witty... #BookSky💙📚
