Not entirely sure the analogy holds: The Sopranos didn't return to the top of the TV listings, or the front page of the culture sections when "this is really good" organically filtered through to the cultural slow-lane.

Once you start mass removal of citizenship on political grounds you've stopped functioning as a viable democratic state. But that was always where this agenda was heading.

Yes, the simple explanation here is: do the people paid to explain politics to the public want to fuck up and destroy Politician (x)? If they do, it’s Johnson in 2022, unable to move for new scandals opening under his feet. If they don’t, they’re like Teflon Tony or Teflon Boris.

This is something the Victorians understood: that democracy is dangerously vulnerable to plutocracy, and that it needs to build defences against that. Our defences are in tatters. Rebuilding them is one of the most urgent tasks facing our politics.

Yes, sadly, you have made it very clear that you strongly support the idea that if I, or any ethnic minority, call the police, we should be treated as suspects!

It's interesting that getting rid of the triple lock has become the defining example of a sensible grown-up policy while at the same time it's widely accepted that trying to means-test the winter fuel allowance was a disaster for Labour.

The whole saga would have benefited if Pong Krell was live action and in Attack of the Clones and the second film was a pure war film. Jedi generals should have been routinely sacrificing clones like it was the Great War.

This show needs to be shut down right now - it shouldn't be able to survive this. And more broadly, I hope it signals the beginning of the end of shows where people are thrown together in the hope that they'll shag each other and then have dramas. It's a shit, exploitative model that needs to die

What happened was not people woke up to the terrible realities of the policy (realities so terrible and real none of the many countries that did adopt this policy have, err, actually seen any of them) but that a well-organised hate campaign successfully made the whole issue toxic and scared people

Using this guy’s replies for good. Some opinions I hold that I haven’t changed my mind on: Tina Carr is a fantastic jazz vocalist and performer. Check out her records. I Was A Teenage Exocolonist is a brilliant videogame. Arsenal are the best team the world has ever seen. Farage bad.

If Lisa Nandy had just, you know, done her job as Culture Secretary, made nice with the big stakeholders*, rather than alternating between sulking and profiling for the leadership, she would be prime minister by now. *A group with huge overlap with the 'potential big Labour donors' group!

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]: 26  and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.
