That Farage PPB was alarmist racism masquerading as wistful nostalgia. Standing on the coast, surveying the sea as if an immigrant armada was imminent, fetishising World War II so he could get the word 'invasion' in. Broadcast as if all this was normal. It isn't fucking normal. Resist.

I think we've all wondered what happens when a traditional British Elvis retires. Turns out, as expected, it's almost unbearably poignant yet also reflective and celebratory. Ah-uh-huh.

Madness - one of my least favourite bands - are doing a big gig on Brighton Beach called, no cliché left unturned, Madrophenia. Not only that, the tiresomely 'nutty' ad for it is entirely AI generated.

We got the belt. Usually for minor infractions. I say belt, it was a thick, two-tongued tawse. Six, right across your upturned palms. Teaching was the ideal job for sexually repressed sadists back then.
