“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

It’s becoming increasingly, scarily acceptable to be openly racist in UK politics with zero consequences. It’s also seemingly increasingly taboo to call someone out for being racist, but lets all keep calling this out:
complaining about the “lack of white faces” in a city is really fucking racist.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Apparently, this was "nothing to do with skin colour". Robert Jenrick just likes "mixed communities". Which is why he has also criticised very white neighbourhoods or towns and villages up and down the UK, umm... <checks notes> never.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

For everyone having issues accessing old episodes of EOH…it’s a technical issue with the podcast provider, should be hopefully fixed ASAP

@mikemuncer.bsky.social hey, some of the back catalog of HOH podcast have disappeared, everything before zombie season, was that intentional?

Time to rewatch twin peaks. Then I found the @mikemuncer.bsky.social pods with Stacie Ponder.

So that's the commute sorted too.

Can’t wait to get started on these films. Many I haven’t seen for 40+ years. Many I haven’t seen at all. Many I’ve seen but I’ve completely forgotten. And many that I absolutely adore. It’s going to be fun. #Podcasts #EOHNetwork #Carryonfilms @mikemuncer.bsky.social

Hey! Yeah you’ll need to treat them as two completely separate podcasts: the main EOH feed which has all 10 seasons of episodes, and Patreon which has hundreds of bonus episodes and ad-free versions of the current 11th season!
