What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

We just finished S3 of Blue Lights. A blistering return to form, nerve shreddingly tense and beautifully heartfelt.

All these big tours - sound systems have totally changed for the smaller. Instead of having 300 lights, you need 100 and a giant, fold flat LED screen. This must have cut transportation, crew costs, set up time, surely?

I don’t mean to be That Old Man, but I saw Floyd on their 94 tour, for a stage show that featured a dozen people on stage, hundreds of lights, lasers, pyros etc. I think it cost £34 including the bus travel from Wigan. How have concert prices escalated way beyond inflation? What new costs are there?

My initial interpretation: Super immersive dystopian synths with subtle nods to FSOL.

Thanks for the music, @warringtonruncorn.com. It's great!

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Iain Mansfield @igmansfield.bsky.social · 13h

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

I'm onto the second half of the tour now, 7 dates remaining from Bonnie Scotland to the Big Smoke. Quite a few have sold out, but there are still tickets available for Cambridge tomorrow, and Glasgow and Edinburgh next week.

“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”

I’m sure it’s universal, but I think this is one of the more definitively British Pterry quotes. The British class system and private school system smashes doubt, or the possibility of other opinions out of the aristocracy. You see its worst in Lord de Worde and its best in Sybil Ramikin.

If the political compass was back with Tories’ hugging a hoodie, Jenrick would be giving out the smarmiest, fluffiest sentiments.

This doesn’t excuse his earliest comments. It makes them worse. He has no morality or principles. He is nothing but ambition.

I know Handsworth well. I love it. The Soho Road is one of the most vibrant streets in the world. I was attached to the library there for a writing project last year and I wrote a whole chunk about it in my book Hope And Glory. Read it if you get a chance
