Since the very dawn of humanity, from the time we stopped being apes and started being humans, we imagine that people have looked at the heavens, seen the regular progression of the stars across the night sky, observed the movements of the planets, and asked themselves, "When is bins?"

Peace and love and all that but I don't like Last Christmas and telling me that my taste in music is wrong will only make me like what I like all the more

Christmas at the BBC
![Title panel:
CHRISTMAS… AT THE BBC.
The Traitors Christmas Special:
Who in the BBC Boardroom is trying to bring down the gaff from within?
[Image: The Traitors scene with Claudia Winkleman looking like “ooh-er” while the BBC board sit at a table looking suspiciously at each other]
Apologising To The People Who Want To Destroy Us At Christmas:
A festive extravaganza of self-flagellation before our enemies
[Image: A cozy fireside scene with Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch standing, while at their feet lots of BBC employees are kneeling before them and begging for forgiveness].
Donald's Big Distraction:
Heartwarming Julia Donaldson animation in which a dragon sues the BBC to draw his friends' attention onto something else
[Image: Julia Donaldson’s ‘Zog’ with a Donald Trump wig, holding up a lawyer’s letter to show his dragon friends while trying to block their view of a pile of box files and computer drives some with ‘Epstein’ written on them].
The King's Speech:
We let Nigel Farage tell you the BBC is left wing as if that's some kind of fact
[Image: Nigel Farage as the King delivering his Christmas speech to camera].
A Ghost Story for Christmas:
A venerable British institution is haunted by Boris Johnson's appointees
[Image: A BBC studio with a window, outside in the dark snowy night a spectral apparition in the form of Robbie Gibb taps at the window and wails “I want to destroooy you”]
Christmas Labour Inertia-Time:
Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy present four hours of total silence from under their desks
[Image: Show them both under their desks holding up glasses of sherry]
Rightward Drift Christmas Special:
A bonanza of trust-corrosion with confected immigration panic and Reform coverage
[Image: A computer and a smartphone in a cute snowy scene, both displaying the BBC News website with multiple headlines and LIVE feeds and and BREAKING NEWS stories headlined: “IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS!”]

My feelings on this too. I discussed this with my Mum yesterday, who was initially nonplussed about the 2 child limit. But then remembered how much child benefit was an essential lifeline for my parents when they were raising me and my 3 siblings.
Like all too many children in the UK today, I grew up poor. I am no longer poor, and I am delighted to pay higher taxes to reduce - or ideally eliminate - child poverty. 1/3

Hello @antonyhook.bsky.social. I witnessed a violent incident last night between the Faversham flaggers and deflaggers. I've just made a related complaint to KCC. I'd be happy to discuss with you if it's of interest.

Tunng in Margate last night with support from William Doyle. Both amazing. My 12th and possibly last gig of the year. I left every one of them with that great gig feeling. Thank you 2025.

I think @gileshallam.bsky.social needs to know about this
The best Chelsea Hotel fact is that the last ever guest at the Chelsea Hotel before it closed was Reg Hollis off of The Bill. He refused to leave and called the cops
More fantastic Arena documentary on BBC Four right now. The Chelsea Hotel in New York this week, and of course Quentin Crisp has turned up.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

This little collection arrived in the post here today in Faversham on the 35th anniversary of Twin Peaks. Coincidence or something stranger?
Thanks for it all @markfrost.bsky.social and David Lynch.
