Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.

Grim Monday with racist blackshirts on the streets of the UK and winning in one German state. Governments are struggling with the modern world - particularly in UK, France, and Germany. But I'm afraid we're all part of a story of frustrated expectations.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

If early release can be altered so as to exempt homicide offences, it should be. Prisoners who have caused the gravest harm should be among the last to benefit from the overcrowding crisis. But carving out exceptions for individual prisoners in response to media campaigns is weak and unprincipled.

I booked Rod Liddle as a guest on a show, many years ago, just after he left Today and had started as a columnist. He was a massive arsehole from the moment he arrived till the moment he left. A character trait he went on to demonstrate publicly, in print and on screen till, well, today.

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rod Liddle was a piece of shit in both his private and public life, and it speaks to the state of British media that they're praising the man. He presaged the steep downward decline of British broadsheet print columnists into increasingly open racism, misogyny, and hatred of queer people.

I must say, it’s very brave of people to come out publicly and say they admired Rod Liddle *because* he wrote stuff that was upsetting. Nice to know that we’re SO BBC-Balanced that we think a voice standing up for the virtues of paedophilia is not only necessary but actually noble.

I will remember Rod Liddle for the fact that the lawyer who checked my book before publication had no issue with me writing that Liddle couldn’t be a teacher because he’d have had sex with the students. Why? Because Liddle wrote it in a national magazine.

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Fascism thrives in contradictions: COVID was a hoax that never hurt anybody. It's also a terrible pandemic and Fauci must be held responsible. The COVID vaccine killed millions. MRNA vaccines are a crime against humanity. Also Trump invented the COVID vaccine and must be credited for it.

I used to model the prison population. It is staggering how massively counterproductive most prison sentences are. Most sentences are short sentences. Long enough to destroy the basis for a normal productive life outside (housing, job etc). Too short to do anything productive (rehab, training etc.)

After 17 and a half years today is my last day working in the NHS. I've worked under 12 Health secretaries. Every single one made it harder for us to look after patients and pursued an agenda of privatisation and outsourcing. The NHS thrives in spite of, not because of it’s political leadership.
