There’s something of the Rudolph Hess about Robert Jenrick.

Verging on mad, about to get on a plane to fly to Farage to broker peace.

Marching against the National Front in the ‘70s as a teen, I saw many variations on the phrase: ‘Walking down Oxford Street in London, you can’t see a white British face or hear the English langwidge (sic).

So, it’s a sick-nostalgia to hear Robert Jenrick rolling out the (fascist) tired old hits.

Never.

PS: after the first and weakest episode, I really enjoyed Alien Earth.

I’ve really tried to enjoy this place but I remain invisible.

I must be doing it wrong. That’s the only answer. I’m the problem… just like my mother and the nuns said.

Well, they yelled as they hung out smoking near my oubliette.

I hope the people who made the Chernobyl TV series get a shot at making a Trump period miniseries.

It’s not a neckbreaker to condem both the Manchester synagogue attack (and police shooting), and to condem the Israeli government for the Gaza genocide.

I utterly condem the inhumanity of both tragedies.

I keep seeing posts that are basically just a pile of hashtags.

You can’t mute “#” though, which is mildly irritating (please excuse the aggression there).

Yeah, Sting looks absolutely thrilled at the prospect of having you over for dinner.

Sting gets really annoyed when people tell him that "Every Breath You Take" was the first dance at their wedding because it's about dark obsession, not love. But he gets even more annoyed when people tell him that Roxanne was the first dance at their wedding, even though that actually is a love song. So which is it, Sting?

Manchán Magan devoted his life to enriching Irish culture. He was a man about whom you’d never hear a bad word said. Kind and generous and gentle. RIP

Electronic Arts (EA) now owned by the Saudi Sovereign wealth fund, and a company lead by Jared Kushner.

Boycott EA, eh gamers? (No chance).
