Tina Turner watches as Captain Kirk and a Gorn fight in the arena on the poster for ‘Star Trek Beyond Thunderdome’. This one fits the brief best but it looks a bit shit. Anyway, I think I’m done now, unless I can think of any more.

The illustrated poster for 1938’s ‘Pygmalion vs Predator’, featuring Leslie Howard’s Professor Higgins with a triangular formation of laser dots projected onto his forehead while Wendy Hiller’s Eliza Doolittle wields a blazing minigun

The poster for Jane Austen’s ‘Sense & Centipede’, showing a bonnet-wearing, screaming woman at the front end of a three-person human centipede, lit in a sickly green and seen through the textured glass pane they’re pressing up against in anguish.

Keira Knightly (with alien mandibles and dreadlocks) and Matthew Macfadyen (holding a minigun) in the poster for Jane Austenegger’s ‘Pride & Predators’, a romance some damn fool accused of being the best.

…which appears to be identical to Greatest Science Fiction Hits vol 1, which someone has graciously put on YouTube in its entirety. “Sadly”, despite some flourishes I recognise, the Alien theme is not as funky or disco(ncerting) as I recalled. Close Encounters is exactly as I remember, though.

Looks like I’ve misremembered. After some digging through the equally dependable resources of my ancient memory and the internet, I’ve found that tape was this one (not my photo), and of *course* it’s Neil Norman and his Cosmic Orchestra (paging @fubsyshabaroon.bsky.social)…

Galaxy Gold by Neil Norman and his Cosmic Orchestra on cassette. Photo nicked from someone else’s eBay listing but it’s definitely the one I had. It seems to be the UK version of an album released in the US as Greatest Sci-Fi Hits Volume I. I’m pretty sure it was bought for me and my brother by my mum, possibly from a school jumble sale. Even as tiny children in the age of disco, we could tell it was absolute donkey eggs.

In the early 80s I had a tape of sci-fi themes reimagined in disco style, including a bizarre and incongruous (not to mention unrecognisable) Alien… and it wasn’t this, so there are at least two.

We're all looking forward to Nigel correcting the record shortly. Given his proclivity for 'asking questions', I'm sure he'll be relieved now that he knows the answer is "all UK nationals, in their 20s, from London", and he'll want to share that with his followers, right?

look a well co-ordinated far-right organisation might have shut down two major ports, intimidated locals and holidaymakers, forced the closure of an RNLI station, and threatened lifeboat crews, but at least they’re not wearing orange or silently holding a placard

What a fucking world where I find myself writing letters like this to my MP.

Letter to my MP:

Dear Fleur Anderson,

I am writing regarding the shocking scenes of masked far-right thugs blocking ports in Dover and, somehow more shockingly, forcing a Portsmouth RNLI station to close.

These scenes are horrific. Equally horrific is the rhetoric from some MPs and the press that these people have "reasonable concerns".

Just Stop Oil protestors have been swiftly stopped and arrested. The crux of their campaign is to ensure that the planet remains in a condition that is livable for humans. The existential threat of climate change is one of the most reasonable concerns one can imagine. Yet they were arrested and decried in the press.

Protestors opposing the genocide in Gaza have been equally swiftly arrested, with some even being proscribed as terrorist organisations. For opposing an ongoing genocide that has killed over 69,000 people - including 17,000 children - according to The British Red Cross. Stopping this appalling violence is another incredibly reasonable concern. Yet they are arrested and decried in the press, while others are proscribed as terrorists.

Preventing saving the lives of desperate people fleeing unsafe conditions is in no way a reasonable concern, yet MPs and the press talk about these masked thugs, preventing lives from being saved and swarming areas of key infrastructure, as having reasonable concerns. This is a shocking stain on this country.

Continued in next image

$Letter continues: Migration is a net good for the country, even before you take into account the ageing workforce. The anti-migrant rhetoric comes from dangerous and violent men, and is spurred on by a press that thrives on outrage. All human lives have equal value. Anyone preventing a lifeboat station - a lifeboat station! - from operating and saving human lives should be arrested and charged far more quickly than an elderly vicar sitting quietly and holding a sign. I urge you to use your power as an MP to speak out on this. To call these balaclava-wearing men what they are: violent, masked thugs who speak only for a tiny, hateful minority. These are not reasonable concerns of patriots. These are the words and deeds of vicious people who want to fracture this country. By way of reply, please confirm that you will raise this issue in parliament, and use your power to speak out against this disturbing rise of fascist violence. Yours sincerely, Guy Kelly$
