martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I just found a copy of Maus & started reading it. They are either hopelessly unaware of the precedents or they are fully aware of what they are doing, on the 90th anniversary of Canle Street they are coming down firmly on the wrong side of 171

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Are you a White Peak or a Dark Peak person? There’s a difference apparently, I found out last weekend when I was there. 101
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Man City aren’t making this case because it would undermine their irrefutable proof to say the thing they didn’t do benefitted everyone else 000
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Not missing ‘something’, missing everything. All the basics you’d expect of a functioning human being like kindness and honesty. But also missing any of the things that make someone likeable and interesting like humour, insight or intelligence. There’s nothing there. 001

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Individuals should be treated equally as a starting point. But an individual who rescues people from the sea should be treated differently from one who tries to drown them. I want a society that respects the former & uses the law quickly & effectively to stop the latter 082
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m not sure it’s free speech he’s talking about. I think the problem with Nathan Gill’s speeches was how much he got paid & who by. No such thing as a ‘free’ speech in Farage world 001
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 24/09/2026123 seats too many. If they do those investigations properly & follow up the findings I’d hope for much lower numbers 010

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 19/09/2026‘Where has this come from?’ The things they’ve done, the things they’ve said 020
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Brilliant book. Frightening how they can get investors to cough up huge sums pretending they are going to implement storylines from bad science fiction. 010
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yes. A climate scientist to represent the 98% of peer reviewed science that say climate change is happening & caused by human activity balanced by the opinion of Nigel Lawson, who knows nothing, except maybe the Editor of Today. 000

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Do you have any evidence for saying ‘ Farage….used to know all this’? I’ve only ever known him talk out of his arse. 231
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Which polls? Who paid for them? 0131
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Judge him by the company he keeps by all means. But don’t forget that his best ever idea was Brexit, which turned out to be among the stupidest ideas implemented in human history. 0151
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Which ‘people’? Is that a third of people who, like Musk, haven’t been to London recently? 130
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Can the people who did that come forward and explain the values of the nation that they are defending? I’m confused. Or maybe they are. 011
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I’m a British citizen who is proud not to align with Aaron Banks’ definition of ‘our values’. I’m not sure where I’d have to go in his scheme; had a couple of great grandparents who were Irish? Nothing they say makes sense 0110
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Things that could give me a sense of Dunkirk spirit pride of my nation: the RNLI. Things that bring shame on all of us: twats in black shirts at Dover, Farage, Reform, Restore, ‘stop the boats’ idiocy 1150

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 04/09/2026In the end Dories’ only defence of him was ‘I don’t believe it’. As a rule if Dories believes it, it’s not true: if she doesn’t believe it, it is. 170

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 03/09/2026‘There should be a criminal investigation’ is the quote that jumped out at me. Was that from the electoral commission or someone similar? 000

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I thought that about most of PL 25-26. There’s been an arms race of big, fast blokes at the expense of football that’s good to watch. 010

martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 29/08/2026He made game changing sun appearances against Liverpool, Brentford & Bournemouth last season & did well with less game time in pre-season. I’d like to see him stay & get more time 110
martingilbert.bsky.social @martingilbert.bsky.social · 27/08/2026When your train is delayed you can claim a refund. I suspect the likelihood of that happening is factored in to the ticket prices in the first place 010
