This FIFA World cup draw is the most cringeworthy thing I’ve seen since Mick Fleetwood & Samantha Fox hosted the BRITS in 1989.

Looks like the price of hosting in the USA is this cringeworthy brown nosing of Trump.
Utterly nauseating & devoid of truth.

I dislike Streeting intensely. Untrustworthy. The NHS is not safe in his hands.
‘I did think there was overdiagnosis, that too many people were being written off, and too many people weren’t getting the support they needed.’

I realise now that my view on mental health overdiagnosis was divisive. We all need better evidence | Wes Streeting
The surge in mental ill health is hugely distressing. That’s why I’ve commissioned a review to find out what’s driving it, says health secretary Wes Streeting

Reform is funded by an intensely-private billionaire who lives in Thailand. I’m sure there’s nothing untoward to be inferred from that.

Pure Snake Oil. I recall helping a sound engineer/producer friend relocate his professional studio. He asked me to cable up the main speakers (huge Tannoy cabinets). I was expecting some gold plated OFC leads woven by fairies. He handed me a reel of cheap BT telephone cable. It sounded phenomenal.

I wonder if Trump’s increasingly diminished mental capacity is real or convenient?
Probably real, but Ernest Saunders springs to mind.
Trump simultaneously too far gone to face trial for any of the numerous allegations against him, yet smart, the smartest etc. when it comes to retaining power.

Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

I presume it’s now OK to call Nigel Farage a racist and anti-Semite, providing we don’t ‘do it in a hurtful or insulting way’?
