Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Dick Van Dyke is three days short of his 100th birthday now. We shouldn’t get complacent but we’re nearly there.

There is only one person responsible for England’s appalling performance in The Ashes and that person is RACHEL REEVES.
By raising income tax in her budget she has put unbearable fiscal pressure on our top order batters. She also blatantly lied about Bazball.
She MUST resign!

If Johnson had a conscience he would be haunted by his dereliction of duty. He would show some humility and offer some contrition. Instead the degenerate continues to spew out his rancid opinions, for money, to the dimwitted imbeciles who are still prepared to listen to him.

Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.
While agreeing in the round,
I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

Absolute marmalade-dropper, this. Well worth a read.
My latest: Move over bat tunnel, here’s the wild story of how HS2 were forced to build a multi-million pound bridge for a road that… doesn’t actually exist.
How HS2 built a bridge to nowhere
A state-of-the-art road bridge has been built deep in the heart of rural Buckinghamshire. Designed to carry traffic over the HS2 railway, there's just one tiny problem - there's no actual road.
