Nazi "Danny Tommo" is a privately educated bourgeois who was sentenced to 2 years in July 2016 for attempting to kidnap someone at knifepoint over £10,000 in drug money - a crime, the Judge noted, was "extraordinarily frightening" matched only by its "stupidity". www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

‘Danny Tommo’, leader of the balaclava-clad blackshirt rallies, says he will travel to Piddington “in the coming days” following the Parish Council’s stunt referendum: “I want to hear about safety concerns for their women and children.” Tommo was jailed for two years in 2016 for a knifepoint kidnap.

I will remember Rod Liddle for the fact that the lawyer who checked my book before publication had no issue with me writing that Liddle couldn’t be a teacher because he’d have had sex with the students. Why? Because Liddle wrote it in a national magazine.

It’s mad to think all of the events in Zardoz happened 25 years ago.
A poster for the film Zardoz. It’s quite hard to explain everything’s that’s going on here. There’s text with the title and film maker info. There’s text saying “Beyond 1984, Beyond 2001, Beyond Love, Betond Death.” There’s some green clouds. Looks like some jelly fish or some shit. Not sure what else. Oh, there’s a giant concrete head at the back, with some form of close combat going on where a neck should be under the head. Then there’s a hand, extending out from the scrap towards us on the other side of the 4th wall. In the palm of the hand stands Sean Connery. He’s wearing thigh length sex boots, a red thing and some kind of red bondage strap that looks like an x over his very fine torso. He’s also got a waist length braided pony tail and an absolutely smashing handlebar moustache.
