"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

I’m watching Broadchurch because I never have. It’s okay. There’s this line delivered by Becca about how she’s never met a funny vicar before, and I was just doing the Rolodex thing in my head, and thinking I’ve never met one that hasn’t been fucking hilarious.

Can’t wait for the Labour to really tax the ultra-rich and close all the avoidance loopholes tomorrow.

On the subject of "illegal" immigration: I had this email from my cousin today. I also cannot imagine just casually going out the night before doing something so terrifying. It was their second attempt.

Only just discovered that sponge puddings in tins have been discontinued. Manufacturers instead favouring plastic tubs you can’t store for five years. Yet again capitalism lets us down.

Did quite a lot of ‘oh, that system is down, oh that payment system doesn’t work, oh that entire web catalogue has temporarily vanished’. Today. So I knocked off at 4 and pressure cooked a piece of brisket which I highly recommend. #boiledbeefandcarrots

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.

I got this and a copy of Wasp Factory from my girlfriend as a Christmas present in 1985. Life changers both. I was 20.
Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Käthe Kollwitz (1937)
Neue Wache Memorial
Unter den Linden
I have been a massive fan of Kollwitz for years, aware of both her work and the fierceness she burned with as an artist and the way she interpreted the lives of the working class. This was a no brainer to soak in.

Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker in a socialist fraternal kiss. By far the most popular and probably best known bit of graffiti on the East Side. Always interesting recording people recording themselves with or around cultural touchstones in their consciousness.

Plattenbau
Spent ages trying to spot a proper DDR prefabricated concrete sectional building worth a photo, turned out there was one round the corner from Friedrichstraße station with a decent aspect.
They’ve become much rarer than I thought, either knocked down or clad up.

Züge in das Leben/Züge in den Tod by Frank Meisler at Friedrichstraße station. If you've been to London Liverpool Street, you will have probably have seen the sculpture 'The Arrival' by him also, it relate to the two figures in the first image. Others exist in Gdansk, Hook of Holland, and Hamburg.

I am wearing my great-grandmother's earrings. Made in Hungary in the 19thC, they're among the few things that were portable enough (albeit sewn into clothing) to escape being expropriated by the Russians. Fuck this cruel and useless government.

Archaeologists or historians in Berlin, is this dig in the Innenstadt Park? I was way too nervous about how high up I was to get my bearings. But snapped this dig – close to the Berliner Dom on the opposite bank of the Spree.

I really wanted to visit Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, which for the uninitiated is a late 19th century Berlin church, bombed out in 1943 partial rebuild. I also wanted to visit the frankly fantastic concrete and glass tile replacement. We walked in, and this, it just glistened. Incredible.

In my local, we’d give him to Nev to talk to about his ferrets. After that Ron would tell him about his time skinning people when he was in the forces. Jacqui would probably ask to see his testicles at about 10. By 11 he’d have given that sweater to a tramp and you’d never see him again.
