I wish it was a joke. Unfortunately it is fascism, literally, in your face 24/7.
The Netflix series “I will Find You” is possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen on Netflix. I don’t know how Harlan Coben writes this garbage but if he simply picked random words out of a bucket it would probably make a more believable story. Unadulterated shite.
I’d give Supergirl a solid 7 out of 10. It is miles better than 2025’s Superman. Milly is simply outstanding. I’ve seen it twice, which tells you everything you need to know.
42 years ago today I saw Elton John at Wembley Stadium for the first time. The best £12.50 I’ve ever spent. Absolutely unforgettable. I wish the BBC would broadcast it again.
This is what should have appeared in the Kings speech today. But no, this was what Starmer promised while seeking election.
Given that Allen reportedly had a shot gun, it would take less than 30 seconds to prove this. The fact is has taken over 3 days for this story to filter out proves it beyond any doubt.
The BBC (and Sky etc) is literally full of rubbish like this. Playing up to the illusion that there is a special relationship, when the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. The US has a special relationship with itself. Trump has a special relationship with money and Putin. End of story.
Imagine if we had sent two directors of Wimpy Homes to sort out the Good Friday Agreement. In the US this is normal.
This is the US administration’s way of saying “fuck you” to the rest of the world while laughing all the way to the bank. Literally rubbing our noses in their corruption.
BBC headlines regarding war crimes and other outrageous acts by Israel are always framed as questionable. “Lebanon accuses”, not “Another war crime notched up by Israel”.
36% of the US voting public are either: 1. As thick as shit. Literally zero brain activity recorded. 2. Fervent followers of Christo Facsism. 3. Rampant racists. 4. Misogynists. Or quite possibly all four. Or maybe simply a billionaire.
This isn’t news. There is clear evidence of insider trading. News would be, “Trump spends 24 hours without committing a crime”.
Very much looking forward to this tomorrow afternoon. The reviews look great.
This quote from @owenjones.bsky.social book “The Establishment” is something I have quoted (badly) to numerous friends and acquaintances. Essentially the government hire accountancy firms to assist in creating tax law and the hire the same people to create the tax avoidance loopholes .
Thankfully the article was prefixed with the name of the journalist. Chris Mason. I didn’t need to read any further.
A old unglazed greenhouse was given to us in the autumn last year. I was within a hair's breadth of taking it to the dump but a handful of nuts and bolts and £70 worth of polycarbonate glazing brought it back to life.
