I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A year ago today, Ruben Amorim took charge of his first Man United game.
He's just seen them lose at home to an Everton side who played with 10 players for more than 75 minutes 👿

This constant relitigating of whether Farage/Trump/etc are racists is exhausting given the overwhelming weight of evidence.
It reaffirms the Toni Morrison quote on the function of racism - to tire out everyone on having to prove & re-prove the 'if' at the expense of consequences. He is. So now what?

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.

I know October is over but listen, there’s no reason we can’t extend spooky season all the way to Christmas. Who’s going to stop us? Mariah Carey? The guardian of holiday cheer and all things jolly? Possibly… but we won’t know if we don’t try.

I think I am a mutant / x man. My power is I can hear any contemporary k-pop track and tell you which 90's UK/US track it resembles most. I am not sure how I can use this to address intergalactic threats or anti-minority prejudice, but I expect they will show me that in their holodeck training room.

With Mr Garage being this poor at selecting like a few hundred candidates, and who could guess the racists, grifters and Putin lapdogs chosen, anyone who wants to hand the power to deport like half a million of our selves, friends, family, neighbours...well we can't claim we didn't see it coming.
