Teacher of History, Politics, Sociology, Media and Film to inspired sixth formers 😉 for 35 years and counting. Mainly History to be honest, an aspiring but failed polymath🙄. Mis-spent or well- spent youth depending on your perspective.
Guy behind me, while I was perusing the British film DVD section in BFI shop on Southbank, recommended Mean Streets. I looked round and said ‘yea great isn’t it. Oh hello Damon.’ (Albarn)

Of course you can but didn’t want to waste more than one syllable on the ‘prick’ x

Save all the words, outrage and astounded pseudo psycho- analysis of Trump. There are just three words that one needs to describe him(UK copyright so no need to re-‘tweet’)
‘What a (k)nob’

Twat or prat can be substituted for (k)nob if preferred.

Why is the immigration system ‘fucked’? Lack of honesty about the fact that Brexit actually reduced control.Why is the whole public service system ‘fucked’?
Lack of honesty about the fact that progressive taxation e.g. income tax will have to increase to pay for the service we all want

A self-inflicted implosion. That’s what happens when you seek to out far right the far right populists by purging your party of those more interested in practical government and public service rather than populist ideology and culture wars.

I’m no Corbynite believe me and I was as energised by the ‘97 victory as the next hopeful person but I’m also a working class council estate first person to go University in family type person and from London. So let’s be honest, embracing globalisation fucked a lot of people up. 1/2

Governing is not (or is that shouldn’t just be) a popularity contest. Unfortunately in our Britain’s Got Talent world it might seem that the party with the best performing monkey wins but we know it’s a bit more complicated than that in the real world is it not?

The sexual exploitation of women is really not part of a contested discourse on language it’s is a real product of a broken system because let’s be honest, it predominantly means women being exploited from deprived social or geographical situations. 2/2
