By day, a boring IT bloke. By night, a boring father of two & husband of one. Fan of history, science, books and cricket. Brass band cornet player. Left of centre, skeptic and humanist. I tend to tweet in the bath... like a budgie.

I can't attend the count as there is credible threat against me. But I can go to a party at a site that is well publicised. #farage

Remember not to be tempted to look directly at the Sun today. Even if it's obscured it can be highly damaging. In fact, not just the Sun, avoid all Murdoch papers.

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

A government that was serious about economic growth would scrap the requirement for employers to pay workers anything at all. Wage costs are a huge burden on business and an unjustifiable disincentive for wealth creators.

FACT OF THE DAY. 2 May 1968. A full page advertisement in The New York Times, commissioned by a group of businessmen in the city, warned of the danger of a passenger plane hitting the proposed building of the Twin Towers in New York City’s World Trade Centre.

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ? Really ????

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
