RIP Robert Redford, incredible lead actor who also starred in the film with the worst title ever.

No one should have to sleep rough on our streets.

I welcome this £36.5m government investment, which will help deliver our Rough Sleeping Action Plan with London Councils - putting prevention first and supporting more Londoners into safe, stable accommodation.

People shouldn't study rip off degrees like History, all you do is get to explore the towering strength of collective action towards freedom, and how is that going to help you slog away at a job you hate, working for vicious idiots until you die?

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

I just keep thinking about how relevant right now that Bill Hicks quote is about fear and love.

Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.
