over red grey,
down into a needle haunted dreamland,
a brown belt paradise
up into a blue sky left behind,

Mostly correct, although no model has hundreds of parts and only a few models are over £100.

Indeed can't even have a programme about her without a Guardian writer making it about feminism. Mind you they'd do this about breakfast cereal.

It seems rarer because it's under reported and Mangan, here, wants to keep it that way.

This terrifying documentary about the Utah life coach convicted of extreme child abuse feels supremely grubby. How about a new year’s resolution not to watch – or make – anything this grim ever again?

Task review – Mark Ruffalo’s druggy kidnap drama is so bleak it’s downright manipulative www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Lucy Mangan is usually wrong about nearly everything but, by golly, is she exceptionally wrong about this.

This box-ticking exercise from the maker of the exceptional Mare of Easttown has bloody shootouts, bags of fentanyl and bodies – but very soon it becomes inescapably boring

The media including the Guardian is part of the problem. Churning out articles telling young working class men that they are sub human, a danger to society and irrelevant is what has pushed this group to seek a voice elsewhere.
It's time society starts valuing everyone, we all have our place.

Watched Thursday Murder Club.
Bit twee, the worst people were the working class men as they tend to be in these Middle England fictions. When middle class people murder it's always for solid, decent reasons.
Won't read the book by @richardosman1.bsky.social as windows are expensive to replace.

Just so you know, it's probably illegal to link acceptance or rejection of cookies to enforced subscription.
