What’s more worrying (but equally evident) is the White House and Trump administration don’t have a clue what’s going on.
The BBC aired Panorama over a year ago and no-one at the WH watched it, and thought ‘hang on, that’s not exactly what he said…. This might be an issue… I best report this..’

Theoretically speaking, could the BBC tell DJT to ‘do one’?
The edit was a bit shonky, but it’s hard to argue they’re not his words or that his intent was what happened. (So the Q is, why bother?)
The BBC could then spend the next 3 yrs calling out every random DJT thought, speech & policy decision.

Watching Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope on ITV.
Which is how it should be.
I was too young to see it at the cinema so it would have been on the telly, probably at Christmas, sometime in the early 80s.
Anyway, nostalgia watching. No spoilers please

You know how I know that all social media feeds are algorithmically biased?
Those video clips of politicians at press conferences not being able to answer simple questions properly.
It’s got to be edited otherwise the people in charge & those who hold them to account would be truly incompetent!

I love this photo from Portland, however I am drawn to the sign “Frogs Together Strong” and note that its inspiration comes from The Planet of the Apes documentaries.
Those don’t really work out well for humans…
I, for one, welcome our new amphibian overlords.

I’m not sure who started celebrity’s dressing up for TV appearances (I don’t recall them doing this on Blankety Blank).
But Jonathan Ross (Event Horizon) on #TheTraitors and Reese Shearssmith (Withnail & I) on #Taskmaster are a film fans *high five*.
I’d like to see more of this please.

The *most* important take from #TheTraitors tonight.
Jonathan Ross’s flight suit is from the film Event Horizon, which is the scariest space film after Alien/Aliens.
If you want a horror film for Halloween (obv, if not watching OG Halloween) May I recommend Event Horizon

I see Mel Stride wants to kick the vulnerable whilst they’re down.
£47bn savings, of which most comes from those who need it most.
Not pensioners though (as they’re protected via the triple lock) or child support (2 child cap) - that’s about 60% of the welfare bill. So it’s everyone else to suffer

Jeez Uk politics is depressing. It’s not even a race to the bottom (which would imply some sort of dynamism), but a slow spiral into oblivion.
If 1 of the ‘major’ parties had a ‘Stealing Candy from a baby’ stall at conference, the rest would compete to see who could make the child cry the most!
