If he's gonna watch that, he should also watch all the fan videos with fans playing the parts, making the costumes, writing the scripts etc. There is so much real creativity out there, born of an enthusiastic and inclusive fan community. We don't need artificial intelligence, we have genuine talent.

Nobody could have predicted this. It’s not as if Britain has a history of damaging its own economy in order to chase the satisfaction of a clutch of racists.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks
In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

I remind you that half of your political/media class frantically urged you to vote for this pig-ignorant, disastrously incompetent crook, and the other half frantically urged you not to vote for the only viable opposition, and then put two and two together about why they did that.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.

This is a really important point that I wish some people would be more precise about. “AI” as a vague concept in the news gives evil people the ability to wash their hands of actions they designed these systems to carry out. It would be trivial to fix this in alignment. They don’t want to.

Leviticus is excellent. Gets closer to embodying the experience of growing up gay in a conservative church than several more literal attempts, and is considerably more entertaining. A film that is going to live with me for some time. Beautiful cinematography too.

It’s a pity that so many people find “The Last Battle” unpalatable (for reasons I understand!), because there is some extremely sharp stuff in there about how theology and religious language and imagery can be weaponised to abuse people and to achieve power that feels quite timely right now.⚓️✝️

This is where Labour Together's strategy of repeatedly telling the far-right that they have "legitimate concerns" leads. Can we end the facile pretence that the people in Dover have anything meaningful to contribute to political life and call them what they are: violent racists.

The Home Office is making a category error here. The Blackshirts will never be satisfied. There will always be further they demand the government goes. Ultimately they don't want anyone with a brown face to be in the UK. This kowtowing to their agenda is pathetic. And more importantly dangerous.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.
