Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Douglas Adams and Mark Cawardine book and radio 4 series "Last Chance to See" and later Mark Cawardine with Stephen Fry with their BBC television series covering changes since the book are wonderful on Madagascar (as, indeed, they are about everywhere!) 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 19/08/2026they seem nice... I still think we need a font for being ironic or sarcastic about utter shits. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 19/08/2026to nick some words from Douglas Adams the people who do this are motivated through "ignorance, stupid and nothing else" although of course there is something else: out and out racism Cofnas and Harris are out and out racists and even more culpable for spreading this shit among the gullible. 120
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Nathan Cofnas is a racist. read up about him. or, better still, if you want to know about genetics then read people like @adamrutherford.bsky.social For my part I think it is likely that Cofnas attacked Jason Arday for the simple reasons that he was black and wrote about race and racism. 020
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 17/08/2026how anybody took anything this man seriously escapes me. he's an out and out racist cunt who should be vilified for his views about race, not taken seriously when he accuses people - no ONE PERSON - of plagiarism. he's a fucking disgrace and should be investigated. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I'm picturing him with some plasticine busily muttering to himself "i'll show them! I'll show them all!!!!" 2250
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026anyone who doesn't agree with Ursula K Le Guin should read her books. a thoughtful, entertaining, humane writer. whereas Musk is a piece of crap fouling the path of progress and making it a shitty future for humanity. 010
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026ignoring the human suffering resulting from such absurd decisions and given that, presumably, it was done in the name of cost cutting, is there even any evidence that it hasn't just cost a fortune to ordinary Americans? 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I do apologise! I have fallen into the trap of knowing a little and thinking that is a lot! 010
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026if anyone hasn't discovered @thoc.bsky.social the history of china podcast 1 the scope is immense 2 to understand now we need history 3 the current episodes on the civil war in the 19th century may come as a massive surprise to anyone who immediately thought of the US when reading this sentence 130
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026to be fair for most of us that happened sometime around the time that people started banging rocks together 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 15/07/2026looks like Alex likes the idea of everyone dozing while rights are abused 020
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 10/07/2026also worth pointing out that the Spectator should be attacking Farage for neglecting the people they seem to be suddenly so sympathetic to 020
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026anyone believing that has failed to bother to fact check or actually have any interaction with immigrants. we do seem to be back in the 1930s with this shit. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026to what effect? it feels like more performative action taken to pretend to a bunch of bigots that something is being done to fix problems that don't exist or at least don't exist on the scale the bigots want to believe. all while ignoring the real issues of inequality here and across the world 210
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I suspect that it would be a mistake to do so as it would be presented as an attempt to undermine 'freedom' by the 'establishment' as Reform would then be reconstituted in a way to get back in. I think it is something that shouldn't be possible going forward at least. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026indeed. though it does worry me that the Constitution in the US seems to be proving less effective at limiting the current regime there. that said I would still prefer codification of the UK constitution with the variants pertaining to the Home Nations. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026presumably though, when it applies to criminal law there is a barrier in that if it conflicts with any existing laws it has to be re-evaluated and possibly other laws rescinded before it can come into force? 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I genuinely thought that if you want to make some action of, say, a current politician illegal then you could only do so going forward. immigration stuff is also full of massive misinformation or lack of information such that bigots can fly flags and shout rubbish while certain people take advantage 100
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026the more I listen to the History of China the more I think nothing changes fundamentally. and I don't just mean China, it's other nations as well. improving institutions and legal systems is the right direction but access to law and enforcing rights seems difficult in a world of the rich. 010
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I didn't know that. I thought it was standard in western legal frameworks and constitutions to prevent it. it's a massively dangerous thing to be able to do. it's not like in the UK we can guarantee that such capability will never be in the wrong hands. 100
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026it's intriguing that he thinks that he can accuse a specific journalist of breaking rules when all the journalist is doing at the time is asking a legitimate question. typical of the evasive arsehole. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026it's also illegal to do such a thing. people learned long ago that retrospective laws make for chaos; just look at the Roman Republic. 100
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Farage really doesn't like scrutiny when it's on him does he? odd though how it seems to have taken so long for journalists to be pointed in his direction. the issue I think is not poor quality of journalists but poor quality management/ownership 022
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I would have thought that made him more qualified in their eyes 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/06/2026stunning... it looks like the inside of a crunchie! no I am not belittling it, I am astounded at how crowded and golden it looks! 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/06/2026is this something that focuses power from a distant pulsar and uses it to bring Azathoth through from the dreamland? 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 01/06/2026he might be right. most people don't speak English... he is perhaps the dumbest excuse for a human being ever to be elected to high office. what the hell is going wrong with humanity? 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I remember some years ago British Rail developing the Advanced Passenger Train with tilting technology as a way to get greater rail speeds in the UK given the resistance to building new straight tracks. it's good to see this technology being further developed and perfected. 000

Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 20/05/2026by Greenlanders does he mean mineral deposits and the acquisition thereof? 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 20/05/2026not a Q&A session then, more just throw non-sequiturs about 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 07/05/2026although A Matter of Life and Death is good but that cuts into colour sooooo ok 010
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 19/04/2026yeah but it doesn't count because no one expects Tice to be anything other than a lying cheating bastard. 010
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 09/04/2026dear federal government. apologies from all US citizens but your kind invite will have to be declined since everyone has bone spurs. 000
Mike @mikeincj.bsky.social · 04/04/2026yep. Royal Mail don't do what EVRi did to me: send me a photo of a package outside my front door in a public area and claim it's been delivered. the pressure on drivers to deliver even to the point of redefining what 'delivered' means... 000
