I suspect that author had never met another person before, or was maybe blind.
Oops. Almost forgot the book cover. What a title!

And ironically the places where it arguably comes closest to being true are the Magic Kingdom “expat” exclaves created by the kind of Brits who’d do anything for the motherland except live there.
The thing that always gets me about the whole “mass migration means immigrants recreate the conditions of their country of origin!” thing is that it is so transparently fucking nuts that there is not a single example of it ever being true in all of human history

Nigel Farage believes he shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions as a teenager but doesn’t think the same should apply to Shamima Begum.

Thirty-eight-years ago, tonight - during a three-night run at the Barras - Kirsty first performed the song live with the Pogues.

Joe Strummer was playing with the band, so we also got London Calling, and I Fought the Law.

A top evening!

Just overheard a conversation between two ladies. One was telling the other about a wedding she'd been to last weekend and how she was "helping the bride go to the toilet but somehow the bride missed the bowl and shat on my feet" x

I think I know how to blow up MAGA. Ask them to agree when they believe the Great America they want to get back to was. Given that idealistic America doesn't exist, they'll fight over which version is in their heads.

Common consensus seems to be that Lizz Truss is in need of some kind of intervention, or is suffering some kind of psychlogical breakdown. I don't think this is true. I think she's just a gigantic fucking idiot.

To walk away from something you built and love, to give up money and a platform - all to stand by your values is a brave and honourable thing.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Realisation that most of the shit that's been caused over the last decade (and especially in lockdown etc) is caused by people who simply resent being told what to do (regardless of what it is, but mainly if it means they have to do something that mildly inconveniences them).

when I worked at the Telegraph, approx one thousand years ago, I walked into the newsroom one day wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, feeling v cool and chic, and my nickname in the newsroom instantly became "Vince Cable"
As someone who owns both a trench coat and a fedora I often think, looking at Delon's effortless beautiful cool, how sad it was that Inspector Gadget came along 20 years later and utterly kyboshed this look for ever more
I don’t doubt how influential Le Samouri has been, or how cool and beautiful Delon is onscreen, but everyone in Paris is searching for him, he’s stealing cars to remain unnoticed but at NO POINT does he think about removing his trademark hat.

Stick a balaclava on, Delon. Sorted.
