This year, I've spent a fair amount of time in dark rooms of various sizes, as well as a bit less time stood outside listening to live music. I reflected on it here

The Download Festival announcement is...fine. If someone wanted to donate me a VIP ticket or a ticket and a hotel I'd have a lovely weekend.
As it is, I cannot justify the cost of a weekend ticket plus a share in a hotel room. The Travelodge I stayed in last time, for a twin room, is £770.95

I've just had cause to query something with Ticketmaster, and their auto-reply explains their inevitable delay in response is because it is a very busy summer. I know this is very Brit-centric, but it's November tomorrow...
It would be somewhat amusing if they didn't have a monopoly

Call me a reactionary, or woke, if you like, however if a UK MP is racist, you should be able to call them a racist in UK parliament and not have to retract the comment.

Its genuinely exhausting for everyone involved that the cycle is
1- BNP style policy gets announced
2- Labour comms say something like well yes but also no....
3-Labour MPs and others clearly have a freak out about it behind the scenes
4-Labour comes out with a clearer condemnation of said policy

NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain:
“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.
“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."

That three major British newspapers jumped on the poorly sourced (ATF to Steven Crowder to WSJ) line about the bullets having ‘trans’ symbols (actually a, wait for it, Helldivers 2 code) is such a tell on what they really care about. They really need to apologise (they won’t)
