Amazing night! Danced my ass off. One question, though, was the Youth connection at the start and end deliberate (he produced and played on Pandemonium and produced Bitter Sweet Symphony).

Too many questions. It's like an episode of Lateral. Was the cat trapped by the installation or did it find ingress some other way?

Not satisfied with equating all Jews with a genocidal army, the #UKgovernment is adding in football hooligans to sweeten the pot. Who are the antisemites again?

Never forget that Hamas offered to release all the #hostages days after 7 Oct 2023, #Netanyahu's government said no.

Wow, you're congratulating a Trump-supporting fascist who asked Netanyahu to bomb her country?

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

He got a "huge majority" with fewer votes than Labour got in the 2019 "disaster". His personal vote collapsed, as did most of the members of his cabinet. He won by default, not because he did anything good.

Really? This is what a once proud publication is reduced to? Ripping off Percolately clickbait. Sad.

My next show on the Thursday Night Show www.thethursdaynightshow.com this Thursday at 10pm will be the death of synthpop, how the revival of disco and the influence of post-industrial sounds changed electronic pop music in the mid-80s.

#LucyConnolly thinks she was a political prisoner. What does that make the heroic pensioners physically picked up and dumped in jail for an entirely peaceful protest during which they didn't threaten anyone?

Tom Roberts @tpgroberts.bsky.social · Aug 23

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.

If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.

That's sensible, proportionate policing.

#StopKillingJournalists @nujofficial.bsky.social

The NUJ London Digital Media branch condemns, in the strongest terms, the targeted killings of Al Jazeera journalists and media workers in Gaza on Sunday.

As a branch that includes Al Jazeera colleagues here in London, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our members as they grieve this devastating loss – and especially with the families of journalists Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea, and photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher and Mohamed Nofal.
