Your Paul Heaton tribute barrister has had a busy year. Finally made some decent audio recordings (rather than phone audio)! Here's a little sample. *All rights belong to @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social and BMG. We are just fans with mics and instruments who missed out on tickets for the tour!

Nicki Minaj is not a US citizen. She’s a green card holder. Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender. Her brother, Jelani Maraj, was convicted of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. So, of course, she’s MAGA.

The USA makes me sick. But the global media are truly the reason we are collectively in this state right now. The pursuit of clicks and "engagement" no matter what the cost to humanity. The public obsession with social media is the secondary cause.

The "grow the fuck up" style of response should become a new mainstream gov Comms method. But then I also think we need to normalise saying "legitimate concerns" in that mocking voice/style boomers say "human riiiiights" and "health and safety" and "mental health".

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Remember that sneering childish voice rightwing idiots used when saying "human rights", "health and safety", and "mental health"? It sounds far more apt when used on the words "I've got legitimate concerns". Awful if that became as common.

Ed Milliband has developed a very peculiar cadence since I last paid attention to him. He elongates and then often lifts the end of almost every sentence. It's very strange indeed.

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S

Only 1.2% of RNLI calls are for asylum seekers in the Channel — red poster arguing that cancelling RNLI donations equates to saying "I hate migrants... I'm willing to jeopardise the lives of the other 98.8% of rescues," followed by the sarcastic "Lovely people, right?"

There really is no prospect of the press ever returning to any semblance of responsibility or professionalism until we get the war for which they are all, collectively, shilling. I really wish this were not so. And it's all traceable to sociopathic capitalism and social media.
