Reading Virginia Giuffre’s book what strikes me more than anything is the role Maxwell played - groomer, abuser, facilitator. Vile human being who should be locked up for years, not talking her way towards release.

Amol Rajan quoting Shakespeare back to Juliet Stevenson on R4 Today is peak Rajan. I’ve said it before, the man’s never-hidden expertise in everything means his guests are an unnecessary inconvenience #R4Today

I know it's got a little world of its own, but the Telegraph (and other right-wing papers) standing up for Trump against the BBC is a striking illustration of how far off the deep (state?) end they've gone.

Yelland and his co-host Simon Case have a particular soft spot for the monarchy - as demonstrated by Yelland’s almost teary-eyed praise for the King’s actions over Andrew on R4 today.

Latest water bill from South East Water has virtually doubled, largely due to big tap water rises plus massive waste water increases from Southern Water. What a fuxking joke. Hosepipe bans and seas full of shit…but the good old customer will pick up the bill.

I’m used to people working from home and apologising for dogs, unexpected deliveries etc. But someone in this meeting just said ‘I’m really sorry if you can hear someone chopping wood.’

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
