Well at least we now know the CIA keeps a close eye on London diesel skimmers' nefarious activities in Gloucestershire.

We have proudly fertilised the land for the majority of our time on this island. History lessons told of centuries chamber-pots being emptied onto the heads of passing pedestrians. Not to mention the horse-shit. The less-golden era of free public facilities must have lasted less than 40 years.

The problem with politics is that it demands an absence of shame in the face of public ridicule. And you end up with the likes of Netanyahu and Trump in charge.

To be fair to Danny Kruger, I'm about 4000th generation since William the Conqueror, and couldn't identify less with his version of what Britain is or should be. So I rather prove his point.

Ok here’s the deal. A brilliant production company have made a documentary about OINK!, the much loved uk children’s comic from the 80s. They’ve interviewed so many of the talents involved (and also I’m in there as a fanboy), but they need a bit more funding 🐽🐽🐽 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/jWrOL2wn

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

I'll always try to better understand the inherited fear that causes so many Jewish families to keep packed cases by the front-door 'just in case'. But I worry about the impact of these years of Netanyahu apologists trying to silence even friendly but critical voices as "anti-Semitism".

All for this. Dansak and Lentejas are two of mankind's greatest achievements When I were a lad you only ever saw lentils on the art table at school alongside tubs of dried beans and pasta shapes. Then at some point in the 90s people realised you could actually eat them...

Another F1 race ruined by stupid regs applied overzealously by stupid race stewards. Am old enough to remember when there were no safety cars, let alone in-race penalties. If Mansell gave Senna a lift back to the pits today they'd probably both get a points deduction.

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

Hamas committed an atrocity on October 7th. 828 Israeli civilians slaughtered. 36 of them children. Over the three years since, Netanyahu has killed 74,500 Palestinian civilians, of which 21 *every day* have been children. He has no exit strategy to prevent either from continuing indefinitely.

Listened to Somnapolis for the first time in a while this morning. I think it may be a perfect album. The instrumentation as beautiful as the song-writing. There are moments where you can't work out what's actually at the front of the mix as the synths and strings move back and forth. ❤️

The one time we got scammed was in Cuba. Bloke helped us with sommat and asked if we could buy him some baby milk-powder in return Went into the shop with him. They handed it over and he legged-it telling them we'd pay. £25. Didn't begrudge him a thing. Think I might actually have applauded
