For me, he'll always be Cameron Foster, editor of The Herald, in the original State Of Play tv series.

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Piss him off instead and

Jeremy Clarkson article that says if you can't sort out your teeth you can't sort out the country.

They've just emailed me about ceasing app support for early model Nest thermostats, too.

1. I was replying to the comment from political-economy.
2. I was not assuming you'd said anything, I was asking for hard evidence to back up your claim.
3. Nice way to completely dodge answering the question, of course.

If male athletes gave themselves an unfair advantage by claiming to be trans women and competing in women's events, why did these fake 'trans women' not dominate women's sports? You claim it's a problem but can't detail ONE first-class athletic event that was won in these sorts of circumstances?

Please tell me, how many men claiming to be trans women have won first-class events in athletics? Olympics, national and international championships, that kind of thing? How many? Of those that have (please name them), what proportion of all winning athletes do they comprise?

With the EHRC acting like it is. It shows that it is really important to keep trying to get in contact with your MP.

We have seen that this is working.

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

Dear Google Nest, By this action you have shown that your support for smart home thermostats cannot and will not be guaranteed. Explain to me why anyone in their right mind would buy ANY smart device Google recommends?

After striking out in Wisconsin i spent most of today striking out in Minnesota, but I knew that a National Wildlife Refuge is always an opportunity for good bird stuff at sunset and The Common Nighthawks did not disappoint.

Five of them just controlling the sky.

Glorious! 🗺️ 🪶

Donald Trump says crime in London is going through the roof. In reality the latest figures show that murders in London in the first nine months of 2025 were lower than in any year since monthly homicide records began in 2003, and 2025 saw a 7% drop in knife crime.
