No, you idiotic columnist, electoral reform is not "a gamble too far," it's exactly what's been needed for decades and what you people purport to want. What you don't like is that it will happen and therefore give you less to complain about in print and cause problems paying the private school fees.

Just spent an enjoyable ten minutes blocking nitpickers, single issue obsessives, career cynics, whataboutmeists and never-be-satisfied ultra-Leftists having a go at Burnham. Really, just go and live in a Hebridean cave or something because you aren't equipped to deal with the human race.

What a speech from Andy Burnham. Why did we have to wait decades in order to hear someone NORMAL talking and saying SIMPLE things. It’s hard for me to explain but he feels feelings, he explains things clearly, thinks in realistic terms. A normal, person. It’s so beautiful.

In today's "Is It Just Me?" department I propose "Mr Brightside" as being the most overrated pop song of this millennium thus far; a meaningless farrago which can't decide whether it wants to rip off a-Ha or Midge Ure's Ultravox.

I was just typing something about the new Japanese movie All of a Sudden, and a little bubble popped up next to it saying "Concision: 'Suddenly' would be a better way to say this." If I could make the program that did this scream and beg for mercy, I would do it and sleep just fine tonight.

This is interesting, if not very relevant to things in Britain, where CT only (and almost by default) went top for one week. Nevertheless I wonder whether this observation explains the song's success a little more:

Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.

We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

He's actually done some pretty good things so far and currently I'm far more inclined to vote for him than Zack Pagliacci next time. Miserable people can just f*ck off back to X, if necessary made to do so by force.

David Marsden used to play this in 2005 on his show. David Marsden ran CFNY from 1977-1988 and I cannot say enough about him, only that once I heard he had a show, I listened. He never used the term ocean of sound, but he understood it and lived it. RIP Big Radio Man

Well this is 💯💯💯 as far as I'm concerned. I know the charts are fixed and misleading but I've followed them since 1968 and have probably written better about the charts than most (not all, but most). If you don't love the ridiculous joy of pop music you're kind of missing out on living.

Book reviewing exists because nobody has the time and resources to read every book that is published. If you can't abide critics saying books are a waste of time then go and read the books for yourself. Life isn't "nice."
