Richard Littlejohn wrote about fly-tipping in yesterday’s Mail, today Boris Johnson turns his attention to a bus driver sacked for beating up a thief. Anything, literally *anything*, to avoid addressing the now utterly undeniable shame & humiliation of their pathetic cheerleading for Donald Trump…

Here is a temperature map (in celsius) of the USA today, during what is being called the "Big Freeze". Ukraine was colder than this basically every day from Jan 5-23. And thanks to the USA helping Putin, the country was starved of heat and power.

Trump’s goons don't just put their fingers on the scales of justice here in the U.S. They do it in cases involving other countries’ corrupt leaders, from France to Brazil, who face prosecution. Shameful.

Added to which, as he has a blue tick he can still create sexualised images of dead people and children and to stop him having the right to do that is an infringement of his basic civil liberties, right?

Oh hang on. No. It’s deeply twisted shit which any sane human would utterly condemn.

For more on the racial/class dynamics that imprison cricket, the most beautiful game but one riddled with prejudices & stereotypes helpful to those who guard its ‘history’ & image (& hoard its benefits) @drcricket.bsky.social’s book Different Class, which I started this morning, is a treasure trove

Wrote something today on the wider significance of the #Ashes defeat - might even be decent?

Let's see if I can find a 'mainstream' home for it.

Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.
He can absolutely do one.

This ludicrous Telegraph piece calls the bonus Labour’s bit.ly/4j2gEwg it was introduced in 1972 by Edward Heath (Conservative) and was worth far more than a week’s pension which was £6.75. It has never been cancelled by any govt (Conservative or Labour) or uprated.
Labour’s Christmas bonus. It’s for welfare claimants of course

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

A message from Virginia’s family:

“Today, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage."

Virginia deserved better, and while she was still alive.
