Still got it. Congratulations to David Szalay on winning the Booker Prize, most conspicuous of the prizes, for his truly excellent novel Flesh.
Thanks to all who came to the event with David Szalay at @waterstoneslpl.bsky.social last night. It was brilliant, so was he and I wish we’d recorded it. Ah well. You can still read Flesh before it wins the prizes.

The BBC is in the midst of a scandal, exacerbated by the UK’s rabid Tory press. At its centre are the right's 3 favourite topics: Donald Trump, Gaza and trans people. Meanwhile, Australia's conservative media can't resist joining in the UK's culture wars.

Bending over backwards for the right isn’t saving the BBC. It won’t save the ABC either
The Tory media establishment has gone nuclear on the BBC for daring to upset the right on its favourite issues: Trump, Gaza and trans people.

Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

Le géant audiovisuel public britannique est mis en cause pour avoir monté des propos prononcés à différents moments d’un discours datant du 6 janvier 2021, jour de l’assaut contre le Capitole, de telle façon que le président sortant semble inciter ses partisans à marcher vers le Congrès pour se « battre comme des diables ».
