When a big chain shop’s checkout asks you if you’d like to round up your bill and donate the difference to charity, they should promise to match the amount themselves.
They’re the ones with all the money. It’d be like a sort of “tax” that corporations could pay. Exciting!

To recap - when billionaires threaten to leave the country if they’re asked to pay a bit more tax, we should back off and rethink.
When doctors, nurses, transport workers, teachers or anyone in the public sector goes on strike for better pay and conditions, they’re “holding the country to ransom”.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Insurance fraud should cut both ways. Sneakily trying to double my premium on auto renew and hoping I won't notice is as bad as a fraudulent claim.

On the 16th I’ll hosting a Q&A with writer Peter Harness alongside a screening of his 2005 adaptation of A View from A Hill.
Before that I’ll be introducing an ultra rare screening of Andrew Davies’ adaptation of Poe’s Imp of the Perverse starring Michael Kitchen & Lalla Ward.

Fireworks PIF countdown: PARENTS (1975). The blink-and-you'll-miss-them shots of the twitching, convulsing, burnt kid caused so many complaints that this PIF was banned. It was considered lost media until the BFI tracked down a copy in 2014!

I told my wife that kids online were daring each other “kind of like a Bloody Mary thing” to listen to this cursed song that a dead child molester recorded in the eighties and I asked her if she wanted to hear it and she wasn’t sure but she said yes
And she was so mad at me when it was “Thriller”

If your house is haunted by the ghost of an atheist, exorcism doesn't work. You have to call an embittered humanist to come and use sarcasm on it.
