Oh I get that - low-placed lighting yes, dim lighting no!

Well yes the Nazis did indeed ask/tell the Jews to leave. That was the plan until they decided on extermination. Netanyahu has just streamlined the process

Reminds me of the old one about the chicken and the egg in bed. CHICKEN (lighting cigarette and inhaling deeply): Well, I guess that setlles that then

Yes. Doesn't bode well. Has any wine writer ever produced even passable fiction?

The toxic potency of Farage, that he can inspire people to attack lifeboat volunteers, the man dragging his slimy belly over England leaving a trail of hate and fear. This is the way evil appears, not with hooves but a blazer

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Slop fans! How about this, from Assouline, purveyor of books for people who don't read books

Adam Lechmere @adamlechmere.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It depends on the whiteness of the victim. There are legitimate legitimate concerns like Piddington and its nasty referendum, and then non-legitimate legitimate concerns, but still in some way legitimate, like threatening to burn down hostels. If you attack the RNLI though, you're out of order

Just as a side-note, what a chilling picture that is. Obviously a nice little family having a nice outing & and pulling up at the sign for a photo-op, the nice little girl saying come on Fritzi, you must be in the picture too, look mummy he's smiling, look!

Terrible fathers' sons who have done great damage: Musk, Trump and - in his own special way - Boris Johnson, whose father Stanley was a limitless creep and bully and is still as nasty a piece of work as his son

I wonder if the money will now enable them to attract serious, ambitious people with an understanding of how to detoxify a cabal of ugly racists (as Meloni, Le Pen etc did)? Or is Farage just too much of a narcissist to allow that to happen, insisting only he can do it etc?

I don't know about any of the perfidious Turk business but I will say that the Turkish man who cuts my hair at SNIP in Forest Hill a) does an excellent job, b) is courteous, professional, humorous and reasonably priced, and c) calls me "My man", which I enjoy

The glimmer of light in this awfulness is that every time this happens, RNLI donations go up... as mine just has

You can just see him chuckling at every line, hugging himself, oh! the transgression, this will annoy the squares &c. But it comes across as rather sad, like a grubby schoolboy exposing himself to twit the teacher & make friends

Having left Twitter 18 or so months ago I'd forgotten all about Laurence Fox, and now I discover he's still a thing, and still telling women who laugh at him that he wouldn't shag them...

I was at Exeter Uni with Alex Renton. He's a brilliant journalist. His book stuff Upper Lip is a seminal work on private school horrors. Also Engines of Privilege by Francis Green and David Kynaston

I love Veolia's explanation that the banner had become a health and safety hazard. What on earth was it made of? But then again - why would Veolia have incinerated it if not on orders from the GLA? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"No, because I'm a pigeon" is pure gold. There was one about 10y ago with God's PA asking if various sex-mad alien races could do such-and-such, God saying fine, then she says, oh and the Church of England is in a tizzy about same-sex marriage and God just sighs. I've been unable to find it again

"If Clacton has its wits about it" I fear is fanciful. He was obviously a charlatan when they voted for him first time round. I can't see much has changed

That's the average in London. Wetherspoons is a very suspect operation frankly and its owner is a pancake-faced whinging Brexiter

I went into a Wetherspoons in Guildford the other day. Pints were £3.30. I had to check my watch for the decade

We were going to see Face/Off but Ground Control vetoed because she doesn't like too much violence. So we're going to see a gloomy Russian epic instead

Give the man a chance. I loathe Mahmood & her policies but some of the comments below are absurd, talking about what a failure he is when he's been in office about three and a half minutes - some of you sound like self-parodies frankly. No offence

Interesting thread. No one mentions England being psychologically incapable of winning a major tournament, despite having the highest-paid players from the world's most prestigious league. We simply don't feel we can win

Fascinating. Urine was also vital in the leather tanning process until Victorian times, collected nightly from public urinals and houses and taken to the tanneries. It must have stunk to high heaven - but then again Victorian life must have been pretty pungent in general

Also on BBC Today: the sinister Chris Philp on deportations - no process, no court case, no review, just round them up. Reeling off a list of crimes committed by asylum seekers with the clear inference that rape and murder is simply what asylum seekers do. His rhetoric unchallenged by Justin Webb

And the book has remained more or less unchanged in design for centuries. It's the perfect form: pages bound between covers, eminently portable, with basic care indestructible
