Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

Parody Nigel Farage @parodypm.bsky.social · 31/05/2025
Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

Starmer has called these "return hubs". But if they're for people who can be returned, why use a hub? If they're for people who can't be returned to their own country, they're not return hubs, it's the UK sending people to a country they have no connection with for an indefinite period of time.

"Hordes of cowards caved into the fantasy a few brave women did not" Hmm. Alternative take most women are not interested in what's in someone else's pants, have no desire to camp outside toilet doors and harass women who are just trying to have a wee and are happy to live and let live.

Why is everybody watching the inauguration? It's not a civic duty, comrades. Have a beer. Put some music on. Call someone. Don't climb into a hole before it even fucking STARTS. I'm going for some Public Enemy and a huge-arsed Malbec, cheers. x

Obviously we all know it happens, and why, but sometimes the audacity of a celeb using a ghostwriter - for FICTION - still amazes me. Imagine saying 'yeah I want to write a book, but I don't fancy doing the bit where I sit down, think of words, and write them out until the book is finished.'

I wrote about Brat, and being in your early 30s. "I was 32 when “Missing” came out..And it is similarly fixated on that transitional life moment – a dance-floor anthem about longing for a childhood friend, while also feeling angst about being unable to “move on”. www.newstatesman.com/culture/musi...

A recent London show proved Brat is the album of the year, and she is the artist of the moment. Am I too old to join in?

"You’re never going to mistake 1975 for 1958 or 1992; in those culturally busiest decades, indeed, things move even faster, you’re not going to mistake 1964 for 1968 either. But what is it that distinguishes, say, 2004 from 2019?"
