Don’t think much of the Amazon Black Friday sales. I ordered The Two Ronnies on DVD but instead I got four Kindles

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

Have you considered giving up avocado on toast?
Private school can feel like the only option when the state system isn’t meeting your child’s needs, but the financial burden goes far beyond school fees ⬇️

My favourite Barry Cryer story is his account of Nicholas Parsons asking Ross Noble who his favourite comedian was. "Richard Pryor" Noble replied, "Genius! So sad he set himself on fire while freebasing crack cocaine".
Parsons, visibly upset, asked Barry later: "did you hear about Richard Briers?"

Exactly this. Stella gets the way to attack this - why the fuck doesn't Starmer?
Reform’s immigration plan falls apart on hard contact with evidence, economics and any form of engaged brain. Never be afraid to stand up for this country and its decency and future by giving them short shrift.

The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.
Ten authors and two judges withdrew from the Polari prize and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a petition calling on Polari to remove Boyne’s novella Earth from its longlist. Continue reading...

Lots of this comes from media but at root, it’s a bitter resentment of people they have seen in their own lives, to whom they feel massively superior: relatives with chaotic lives, disrespectful children, lazy coworkers with vexatious complaints, and so on. These are the core experiences.
