Snarky critical theorist. Philosophy music, literature, Arsenal and Sussex not nec in that order. Retired and still too busy.
I recently found out that Plato is the police op code for a marauding terror attack. Surely that should be for marauding poets and tragedians who need to be rounded up and banished! @therestispolitics.Bluesky.social

#arseblog.bsky.social #gunnerblog.bsky.social. Goodly morning gents. A fine weekend. I’m bothered about how effectively Palce defended our right side and the centre. Our left side attack still lacks incisiveness. they knew that. Could still be the blueprint for defeating us going forward! Thoughts?

Any Questions should be retired any questions to Sarah Elliott, because she is hogging the air time with her predictable push button, anti-tax, anti-Labour, anti-EU, anti-net-zero idiocies. @any-questions.bsky.social

Anyone thought about the desirability of selling Saliba for 100m to Real, and keeping Kiwior? Just to raise funds. Kiwior has raised his level amazingly in the last weeks. @gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra.

British Universities could adopt the same practice as the Vatican. When they appoint a new VC, they can light a bonfire of £100 pound notes and send the smoke up the chimney. It’ll be cheaper than the fee for the recruitment company!

Are you in despair about Reform UK?

This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000.

They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs.
