All these schmaltzy Christmas movies being advertised. Bah Humbug

There's only one Christmas movie worth watching
a man in a suit and tie is sitting in a chair and says you 're very perceptive

Dave Fishwick (Bank of Dave) confronts a knighted bigwig in HoP:

Are your expenses subsidised by the taxpayers?

Yes.

Then why shouldn't a starving six year old be subsidised breakfast?

I didn't think #Shetland was very good last night so I'm watching it again now.

Bits I don't even remember. So I must have slept through some of it. 😏

1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

🔴230,000 Deaths and the ‘Calculated Silence’ of the Medical Establishment About the COVID Inquiry

The Covid Inquiry Report is a devastating critique of the medical establishment which led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century, argues Anthony Costello

COP30 in Brazil was billed as the “implementation summit”, when hot air turned to action. But Edelman, the PR firm that won the contract to promote the climate summit, was pulling in two directions.

Something (pun intended) that strikes me it's just how good the 'B' sides were. What made them secondary to the hits when they were just as good if not better? Eg: Things we said today - the B of A Hard Days Night. It should have been a hit in its own right.

Ringo always looked as though he was thoroughly enjoying himself. Maybe because he didn't have the pressure of composition like John and Paul or the upfront persona of George.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

Apparently the sleaze bag has responded in his column in the Torygraph.

With no apology.

Living down to his reputation as expected
24 hours after publication of the Covid Inquiry Report - still complete silence from the bogey men - Johnson and Hancock.

Too little (in this case nothing) too late

Nothing they may say now will have any credence whatsoever.

I’m beyond proud of Peter Ettedgui speaking out about Farage and the vile antisemitic abuse he endured. I first heard Peter’s story nearly 20 years ago when Farage was a virtual nobody. It’s not a hit job. Just the truth

Nina Cresswell reported a sexual assault, but the police basically ignored her. She spoke out, and her attacker sued her for defamation. Three years later, with our support, she won.

Now she's taking action to stop the police failing women. Join us.👇

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise
