Suddenly is, in my view, a great song, while Angry Anderson was of, at the very least, odious political and other opinions. There, nuff said and no need to join the Bluesky obligation of immediately bringing up the wrongs of someone who's died. Show some online decorum people..

All of those supposed "patriots" at the weekend would do well to school themselves on British Values, or in some cases should have paid more attention to them in school where applicable. The rule of law and Mutual respect in particular; and that covering your face is an act of cowardice..

I’m thinking we should reclaim the word “patriot”. Fascist thugs aren’t patriots: they’re fascist thugs. They don’t love their country, they love bullying, intimidation and violence. I love this country, and I want it to be better: I want greater equality, tolerance, respect and an end to poverty.

What happened in both Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend was riot and incitement thereof, with far-right thugs who should see swift, sharp justice for any law breaking. Would also help if the Government called it what it is - terrorism.

Just because Reform have women supporters in the media because the money's right, doesn't mean the public agrees.

As my Lithuanian associate @catnipfields.bsky.social would attest, One and Six Zeroes was *NOT* a Millionaire-based quiz show, with elements nearer to The Vault in parts, and Wikipedia is inherently wrong. All the same, a team going from Q1 to GS is unheard of in the CL.

I had the inverse happen when I had The Book of Mormon as my SS on Mastermind, people on SM were disappointed I wasn't dealing with the musical. Mostly lovely folk though, with a couple of folks complimenting m'voice.

I think it’s just worth remembering that as the media handwring to justify publicly humiliating and hounding a man to death, just two weeks ago they gave glowing eulogies to another man with a history of domestic violence and brushed off his own statements about having pedophillic impulses

I sense when Rein Me In gets covered on @hits21podcast.bsky.social in about 15-20 years there'll be bemusement about Rein Me In's run. Finally given it a listen - s'alright, but not THAT good to warrant 20 NC weeks at the top.

‘Listening’ to ‘legitimate concerns’ is what led us to violent riots in Thetford. Embracing flag-shagging is what inspires lynch mobs. These are the worst of people, and we should have said so clearly and loudly from the start. We should be saying it now.

No, the riots in Thetford aren't a reasonable protest that sadly escalated into violence. The violence was the point from the start. The reasons for the 'protest' were not reasonable, fair or valid. Stop making racist violence seem 'OK'. Just stop.

30, 33, Many too Many Genesis in 10 (among others worth Smug Points) - strong disagreement with the judgement call on that bonus in Round 2, one word out when most people know the brackets seems very unfair. #popmaster

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.

Quote graphic from Rachel Millward co-deputy leader that reads. The EHRC's guidance sets a dangerous precedent. In its current form, it is appalling and risks legitimising bigotry, harassment and violence. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community. The guidance must be withdrawn, and the government must act to fix our equality laws so they protect the rights, dignity and safety of everyone.

Bluesky is not a "liberal bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where Nazis get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.
