I get the appeal of nostalgia, I really do, but I find it specifically funny to get a leaflet from Reform's candidate talking about how when he was in the Met 31 years ago, he would never have dreamed of lawlessness like the kind we now see in Kings Cross.

I will be remembering the 1,200 people killed on Oct 7th, and also the 75,000 people killed since then in Gaza.

Ok - this is pretty funny - Trump launched a new website to 'give the facts' - except they are so lazy, they let AI do the work - and it's dutifully calling all of his bullshit

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

Penelope Keith had the extraordinary ability to poke fun at the cruellest qualities of Englishness, without ever making the material cruel. She created characters who were ludicrous, superior, bigoted, without ever being unlikeable or cold. It is one of the greatest magic tricks an actor can pull.
Penelope Keith as Roxanne in a Morecambe and Wise skit in which both were Cyrano.

“Now I’m leaving, I don’t have to agree with the Chairman. He said the best day was the FA Cup Final, but I don’t agree. The best day is still to come in Leipzig. Two years and a few months ago, I came as a stranger and now I leave as a South Londoner.” ❤️🇦🇹💙 #CPFC

Hi. I run my local polling station for the council, and every year I post a guide to the process of voting - I've been told that it's helpful, so I'm posting it again- stuff changes with every election, so this is updated. I've been working at elections for 29 years... #Voting
