So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

If I am me and I am competent then so what if I'm evil? Billy Shakes wrote this rationalizing horseshit and wrote it way better, Pete: "What do I fear? Myself? There's none else by. Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Is there a murderer here? No. Yes, I am. Then fly! What, from myself?"

One can marvel at the philanthropic majesty of Dolly Parton and praise her as a rare example of a mega-rich person with a good heart or weaponize progressive language, slur the minimal legal protections of copyright as "rent seeking" and pretend creative labor is not "real" labor  but not both.

Look. All I'm saying is that if Wimpy had gotten Michael Douglas to dress up as fictional Wall Street villain, Gordon Gekko and do an advert paraphrasing his popular catchphrase as "LUNCH IS FOR WIMPYS", they might still be a common fixture on British High Streets today.

I’ve spent several hours tonight watching Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes on ITVX. I think it is close to the pinnacle of British TV. Camp without being arch. For a mass audience. No concessions to lack of concentration. Wonderfully shot, directed and acted. Made by Granada. Excellence is possible.
