Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Old skool reference on back cover of new issue of @thefence.bsky.social (as any fule kno) 031
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Fantastic picture - the height of the jump, the body position, the eyes following the path of the ball. 2112

Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Reach come in for a lot of justified criticism so congrats to this reporter and to Reach for vocally backing him up. Just a shame the article is largely obscured by ad. It’s not a pop-up either, it’s just squatting over the text. 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 10/07/2025In the Telegraph boilerplate ‘London has fallen’ piece, I have some scepticism about the author’s claim to have interviewed ‘several’ and ‘many’ homeless people, all of whom told her an identical tale that conveniently fits her narrative. 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 29/06/2025You just know the ‘punchline’ is going to be ‘send them to Glastonbury’. 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Whenever the Mail uses “Fury as…” in a headline, there is rarely any real fury in the story - in this case it’s a couple of mildly-expressed complaints culled from social media. 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 18/05/2025From today’s FT mag. The gap between the rich and the rest of us doesn’t get discussed enough or attract the anger it should imv 101
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 15/05/2025The Mail is currently tapping a deep vein of 'life after death' stories. I guess that what an ageing readership is looking for. 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 08/04/2025The dire wolf story is a case study in journalistic rigour. Do you: 1 Reprint the press release because it makes a good headline? 2 introduce a note of caution (a ‘claim’ not a fact) 3 critically assess the claim and debunk it? 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Congratulations to my old friend @stuartgillespie.bsky.social on the publication of his book Food Fight and a great launch event at the Conduit Club in Covent Garden 110
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 30/03/20251 This is one of those stacked-noun headlines (“mushroom picking alarms forager”) that is hard to get the meaning out of 2 Louise Gather is an excellent name for a forager. 001
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 29/03/2025The BBC unashamedly adopting the language and politics of the Sun and the Mail in this headline. 010
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 25/03/2025They’ve put a tent over that damaged Paddington statue, as if it was a murder scene. 110
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 24/03/2025I wonder if the Telegraph realises or cares how demented this sort of thing makes it look. 100
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 21/03/2025“Speculation might not be very helpful..” *speculates for hundreds of words* 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Every Friday evening of late the underground car park at Sainsbury’s Nine Elms becomes an impromptu roller-skating rink. Probably a couple of hundred skaters this evening. 010
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I was wondering which Telegraph pundit would be first to call for capital punishment but I didn’t expect it to be their recipe writer. 010
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 31/12/2024You’ve probably seen the Royal Parks NYE advice for Primrose Hill 210

Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Aren’t they supposed to be a bit more discreet than this? 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Or maybe what’s radicalising people is stagnating graduate salaries and this headline is just another attempt by the Telegraph to set one group of workers against another with the aim of reducing pay and conditions across the board? 210
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Even by current standards, this par on the next US Defense Secretary is pretty jawdropping 000
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Extremely on-brand Telegraph comment on a piece about greasy spoons. In the end, everything is a culture war. 100
Simon Hinde @simonhinde.bsky.social · 25/11/2024In this piece today the Telegraph claims that “if your international media diet consists solely of the New York Times, you might not even know Yellowstone exists.” These things are easy to check…. 140
