Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Castorama France - to be avoided online at all costs. "Yes, it's in stock - give us your EUR 600". Week or so later after I chase them: "No, we cannot supply it" And then have the nerve to say: "Beyond their control." What was? To lie about having stock? Fraudulent.

So UK Social Media ban for under-16s? Idiots. "If you see a naked person walking down the street - do NOT look kids!" Rather than, generally, stop having naked people walking down the street in the first place for... (crap analogy, but you know what I mean?!)

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

UK green party leader is an "extremist" say Israel's deputy FM

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

White men, imagine you go for a job. The interview panel is three black women. The board of directors is all black women and has been, without exception, forever. You notice that all supervisors are black women and the only white man you see is cleaning. The company insists they appoint on merit /1

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

UK Justice Minister: "I want to thank the police for their bravery and their courage in carrying out their diligent duties in the line of public protection..." Yeah, those little old ladies are violent lunatics. To say nothing of the blind terrorist in a wheelchair. Well done brave police.

I don’t understand Yvette Cooper’s moral universe where we are supposed to feel more threatened by protesters spray painting war planes than our own government’s steadfast support of a regime who everyday find more horrendous ways to murder people .

While delighted with the EU/UK agreements today, it's still rather tragic to see the joy and celebration just from clawing back a TINY fraction of the benefits the UK chose to bin with Brexit.

I am resident outside the UK, but after many years of disenfranchisement regained my voting rights for the last election. I voted LibDem, not Labour, I admit pure 'strategy' to GTTO. And it worked! But next time: no strategic stuff. 100% LibDem and no chance racist Labour.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

It's not "controversial," guys, it's a Nazi salute. You can call it out as such. Stop dancing around the truth.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

Two figures walk along a corridor lined with complex machinery.

The worker says "Congratulations, sir! The most intelligent machine ever created is ready to change the world. Ten billion dollars well spent... What shall we ask it to do? "

The billionaire replies "That's my business, not yours. Close the door on your way out."

Now alone with the machine, the billionaire asteps closer and asks quietly "Can you Make people like me?"
it says "No"

It seems common these days to have people in positions of power who just work on vibes and lack EQ awareness. Ian Hislop tells the story of when he met Justin Welby a day after the resignation, it seems the CofE forgot to teach contrition, or the Archbishop just has bad #comms advisors

Well well - finally moving to Bluesky. Used "Sky Follower Bridge" to auto-find 126 matches for existing Twitters follows - a few false positives, but looked pretty good. Looking forward to it - less of the Twitter/X cesspit, more niceness I hope!!
