While there may be benefits to the treatment, anti-ageing probably isn’t one of them – which is something better left to the professionals

The nationalist right - our high streets are empty and it's killing communities
The government - let's explore making them more attractive and easy to navigate destinations
The nationalist right - woah, that is akin to the mass murder of millions of people by a totalitarian dictator

Wow.
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

there’s something about the “watch the video and decide for yourself what it shows” argument that unsettles me, and i think it’s partly because if all journalists are going to do is gather phone video off social media and show it to us, then… what do we need journalists for?

First live comedy I ever saw as a teen in Coventry. 1985? Maybe 86.
Channel 4's complaint-baiting edgy late-night comedy sketch show Who Dares Wins. Genuinely rock star massive at the time but barely ever even mentioned now. Even by pandas.

I’ve spent most of my adult life overweight and (physically) rather lazy. Got two “walking poles” for Christmas and, my god, what a difference it makes.

I’m very cautious about sharing this kind of thing but the actions in Minnesota and the response of the US government are terrifying. And BBC reports are doing that “both sides” thing. And there’s clearly only one truth, well analysed here.

If people are shouting at R3, things are bad.
Tell me again what sort of "glorious, uplifting music is guaranteed to propel me through the weekend," Radio 3. Go on. I f***ing double-dare you. Some of us suckers have to work weekends, so unless I can pay my council tax with John Wilson's bang-average recording of Rach 2, pipe the flip down.
