Buh-bye, don't let the door hit you and all that 👋🛫

Yeah I think it's 50% plus one vote?

Yep. Was talking to my bro about this the other night. I think there should be a ban on state ownership of clubs, but also on billionaires owning more than 51% of a club. I'd love it if the Man City affair led to greater fan ownership like in Germany (but it won't happen)

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

They certainly have some bold propositions - Griffith rooting for a return to austerity, cutting the environment agency + dep of culture... it's got its target audience but not sure it's the general public 🙄

The Episode 8 riff on John Carpenter but with Patricia totally subverting it is 1000 carat fucking gold

Widow's Bay just topped my favourite shows list. Seriously good stuff by Katie Dippold - all my favourite horror tropes folded into a hilarious sitcom and it's a joy to behold

This is so cool, love the project/experimental novel. Could I email you to chat about your work?

It all folds at the very slightest of touches. But I guess the point is that it gives legitimacy to a certain type of voter who'll now be able to say 'well, a person with brown skin said it, so my views can't be racist'

which is why it comes across as stupid and makes no sense. There is no sense to make. It's not aimed at anyone who can pick at the logical car crash of it. It's about whipping people up, stirring grievances, coalescing a vote around a flag, attaining power by the cheapest means possible.

but she appropriates the def of English as someone self-proclaimed as un-English (itself a convoluted colonial feat) closing down the white guy who most closely fits her own racialised definition & therefore (on her terms) has legitimacy to decide why she can't exclude herself from Englishness

There's the surface level Albion bullshit, but 'Are you saying I'm racist about myself' does a lot of trope work - mainly that people of colour are a homogenous block & can't be racist...

That's why she's more craven than stupid (although there're good arguments for stupid right?). It's like Trump - 'stupidity' allows us to claim intellectual high ground while putting fingers in ears about what's actually driving the politics: calculated racism, corruption, money

sorry that should read *a lot of people are writing it off*

Was chatting about this with a pal yesterday. Are the mass layoffs going to hit university REF scores? Lot of good researchers have been peddled from Northumbria for example.

It's depressing. A lot of people calling writing it off as stupid/deranged which is a dangerous dismissal. It's a very calculated strategy of legitimising white supremacist views by having a powerful person of colour espouse them as natural facts

Great stuff, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

The question for me is: can he do enough to move the dial for people meaningfully and change the direction of travel generally, while treading the line of keeping the wing nuts out and doing the least amount of damage in the process

Chris Bogle @chrisbogle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I'm totally sold on Burnham. I don't agree on everything, I think he lll have to make some awful choices, but ulrimately I believe everything he says is based on a desire to do the best for the country the within the parameters he's stuck with.

Chris Bogle @chrisbogle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We do, but the TL *as it is* is unsustainable and locks pension rises for *all* pensioners to well above wage rises (which isn't fair to the young people funding them, who're also locked out of housing). I think there should be greater protection for pensioners on the bottom end of the income scale

Chris Bogle @chrisbogle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Just submitted another book proposal for the thesis. Please could you all keep fingers/toes crossed, and if it's not too much trouble perhaps sacrifice a small goat to the gods of good fortune 🤞

Hate to say, it but I don't think his wage bill fits our profile anymore. Would be brilliant if he did come home tho

Chris Bogle @chrisbogle.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Urgh. I remember living Shawlands and cringing at the first sound of the drum coming up the road. One day my (then) 5 year old son looked up at me, rolled his eyes, and said "here come the bigots, daddy"

What a book though. Almost finished it in one sitting yesterday. Stocking up on beans and iodine today 😬

Ooft, stared reading Annie Jacobsen's book 😱

Chris Bogle @chrisbogle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yeah Threads is the original nuclear horror. I'll read Jacobsen, thanks for that. I remember reading When the Wind Blows at school.

Was gonna say, had one watching South Shields the other week

we're owned by one of the most ruthless, misogynistic and sadistic oil based regimes on the planet. I think being sponsored by Coke is a healthy step up from Sela!

I think the appeals process is much tighter, from what I've read it's less than a year from filing to verdict

the postwar university for all its problems worked according to a pretty complex balance of cultural and economic capital with other kinds thrown in, but it looks like we can simplify our Bourdieu for the phase of neoliberal higher ed we’re in now, where the only thing that matters, ever, is money

Got a teaching gig at my local FE college, a really vibrant campus close to my heart where I did my first media course 35 yrs ago!! And it's freed up mental space to spend a *whole day* on my practice developing a project that I'm buzzing about. I think it calls for pizza this eve! #fridayvibes
