Weβre being asked by half the media & politicians to swallow the idea that known racist football hooligans should be allowed to rampage through our cities for NO OTHER REASON than that they happen to be Israeli.
Fuck. That.
Fuck. That.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Djalili on the bill, given his laudable campaigning for the rights of Iranian women. & a Carr/CK co-headline act: the Ludovico Treatment for stand-up.
"You needn't take it any further, sir. You've proved to me that all this comedy is wrong, wrong and terribly wrong".

EVIL EDNA (1981): The antagonist on BBC animated kid's show Willo The Wisp (Kenneth Williams having a ball on voice-over duties). A nasty witch in the form of a CRT telly, complete with aerials, metal legs, and, presumably, a 625-line face. Many a female teacher was given the nickname 'Evil Edna'.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

Robert Redford was my favorite, itβs hard to process that he is gone. His performances made more movies beloved to me than anyone else, Iβd take The Sting over any other film for flawless perfection. We donβt expect famous people to also be good people but he was. He belongs to the ages

Saw this viral post going on IG about how Vera Wang started over at 40 when everyone in fashion told her she was too old, and launched a wedding dress empire. And I was like hell yeah thatβs awesome, and then in the 8th slide βher father gave her $4 million to open a boutiqueβ ah there it is

Trust Britain to meet the Bang Bus with not moral panic but clerical pedantry, some pallid council drone, worsted trousers shiny with duty, googling a pornstar at taxpayer expense, then loftily ruling her vehicle βa vanβ. Our bureaucracy: prurient, petty, and perversely glorious.
The βbang busβ owned by adult entertainer Bonnie Blue, visiting Oxford for Freshersβ Week, will not be eligible to pass through the High St bus gate. An Oxfordshire County Council spokesman told the Clarion: βHaving taken the risk of googling Bonnie Blueβs Bang Bus, the vehicle appears to be a van.β

Top line-up! The Simon Boswell gig will be ace. Funnily enough, only the other day I was trying to find a copy of his OST for Richard Stanley's 'Hardware'. They're like hen's teeth but am currently watching one on Ebay! Aberystwyth is lovely. My father-in-law lives there so always nice to visit.

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk.
What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

Totally. Hypocrisy matters across the political spectrum. And while it's more often the case that hypocrisy occurs on the right of politics, it isn't a balancing exercise. 100 hypocritical acts of a party we do not support does not (and must not) outweigh 1 hypocritical act of the party we do.
