My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Paul Thomas Anderson responds to winning the poll:
“Fuck yeah! It takes my breath away a bit, honestly. I remember reading Sight and Sound, as we all do, from when I was so young, and now to have a film that they called the best film of the year… it’s amazing.”

Huge thank you to @portybooks.bsky.social for looking after and posting Monkey; a teddy my daughter has taken to bed since she was 2! We didn’t realise Monkey was still in the bookshop until we got home. He lived my dream of a sleepover at a bookshop.
