Semi-pro Northener. Lived yards from where an episode of Hetty Wainthropp Investigates was filmed. Occasional commenter on old TV and films. Irrational liking for James Bond films - particularly Roger Moore’s. DMs ignored - not here for that.

"Tammy Waddell taught school for 25 years. Her obituary asked that in lieu of flowers, mourners should bring backpacks filled with school supplies, to honor her commitment to students in need."

Just listened to the brilliant F1 history podcast “And Collossally That’s History” about the ‘08 Brazilian GP. It’s easy to forget just how incredible a season finale that was, and how gracious Felipe Massa was on the day. Plus Matt Bishop really conveyed the emotion at McLaren that day. Glorious!

I agree with you though that a lot of this is unrealistic and high voter expectations meeting a really hard situation for the government to deal with (which I think a lot of people also seem to be underestimating). Trump alone is a really massive problem for them.

If you spend just 5 mins researching Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari you will suddenly see clearly how much the media chooses to ignore the big stories for political gain. For a start no one seems to be asking where an unemployed former waitress found £900k to buy a house outright in Clacton

Fair dinkum, Nige. That’s a stylish suit you’ve got on. Just try and avoid getting any dinner medals on it.

Looks like Angela Rayner will be sacked over not paying her taxes. I don’t recall so much fuss when Jeremy Hunt, “forgot” he owned a number of flats and therefore didn’t declare them and he was the chancellor!

Over 100 countries offered assistance to the US after 9/11. None of them asked for their money back, demanded a thank you, insisted on quid pro quo, or suggested we consider capitulating to terrorists.

FFS Donald Trump! Stop. Think. Do better. I’m an inconsequential guy, but I hope that somehow you see this. You know you can do your job better than you have so far in your second term. Far, far better.

The regulatory state, when functioning well in the common interest, is a pinnacle of civilisation almost without parallel. Only human beings would be stupid enough to build it, and then start making up reasons to tear it down.

A good government agency is nearly invisible. You have safe food, clean water, stable power etc and you never have to think about it. The best societies have boring bureaucracy notices in the paper and not much else.

There is no salient person who does not know it was a sieg heil. The whataboutism and explanations dismissing it are what should alarm you. I knew Musk had racist leanings, he’s South African for God’s sake. I was not yet prepared for Americans to not care. The lack of outrage is the lead.

My local Council has just announced that thanks to the best Government settlement they’ve had in years, they can reintroduce a free travel card for under 18s. Labour have been on the end of a load of newspaper criticism but this kind of thing goes unreported. Under the Tories, it was cut cut cut.

Respect to Labour for planning to ban “trail hunting” which is essentially just backwards toffs continuing to illegally fox hunt like bastard savages. A working class govt means the rich paying inheritance tax, private school VAT and not killing animals. Your mates aren’t in power now, posho’s. Ha.
