Seriously, it's a UK Hamilton but that's doing it a disservice - it's so much better. I hope it runs and runs!

Oh my that was AMAZING!!! Do yourself a favour and if you can go and see Sylvia: A Musical Revolution! Saw it tonight at the #BirminghamHippodrome and it was probably the best theatre I've ever seen!!

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Excellent episode. A useful reminder as well about how the Royal Navy used to be so big you routinely had small ships with frankly less than scary names doing their level best to mix it with much bigger ships with much fancier names!

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The reoccurring theme of recent news is ‘company/individual commits a crime. There is no obvious consequence’. Doesn’t feel ideal.

That feeling when one platform means work meetings in London and the other is promising a trip to Edinburgh... Oh well...

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Why does the BBC have as one of its lead news stories this morning another Britain-hating interview with Jim 'the UK has been colonised by immigrants' Ratcliffe? What public interest is this serving?

I remember it - truly dreadful. And wasn't the premise so they could inherit some fortune? Another tie in to today...

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

🇵🇱Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski: The Council of Baltic Sea States, without the rest of Europe and NATO, has a bigger GDP than Russia and a bigger peacetime defense budget than Russia's wartime budget. Russia has no hope of winning against us.

Or just bin it off and keep Spa every year instead?

He cheated on lap 1 (like normal) and did nothing on a boring track other than benefit from others failings. But yeah, sure, driver of the day...

History is about interrogating documents and questioning narratives; and law is about the rules that bind us and the rights that protect us. Neither are STEM; both are essential.

Even leaving any politics at all aside: as general rule, no state can allow a group of masked men to be able to close down critical infrastructure. This is basic stuff.

So just to confirm: - Dissatisfied royal claimant to the UK throne returning from abroad. - A new king rises in Norway. - Heir to the Jacobite pretender consolidating power on the continent. cool cool. cool cool cool cool. cool cool. Hope everyone's been keeping up with their longbow practice.

Same. It was/is a silly cartoon but it goes to show any media can make an impact and carry a message to it's audience. All the more important for media aimed at kids. Tbh, I am knowingly doing G1 a disservice - Peter Cullen's acting and what he did with the scripts helped make it more than silly.
