NEW Stewart Lee column The collapse of compassion in post-Brexit Britain suggests it’s now time for Roman-style lethal spectacles. The alternative – stopping malign global influences from destabilising our society, say - seems beyond us www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

At this rate, we'll be staging public drownings of migrants, to address 'legitimate concerns': Stewart Lee on the collapse of compassion in post-Brexit Britain. Stylised image of a RNLI ferry

People just need to cancel. Just have the balls to cancel and not regret it. I did it when Netflix put their prices up years ago and haven't missed it. If you're going to make me watch ads, I can watch broadcast TV

learning that the whole “recycling plastic” concept as we understand it was an op funded by oil companies in the 70’s and 80’s as a way to kill any efforts which actually addresses the problem was a very sad day for me.

Probably worth mentioning that we've known this was coming for decades, and how to stop it - books were written on it - but industry giants have consistently pushed us in the opposite direction from the (relatively easy) solutions because short-term profit sounded better to them.

Mine was just as I was leaving for university. I had just bought a CD stereo system to take with me... and the first one I owned was Curve's Cuckoo. I had all of their other releases before that on vinyl, but couldn't take them with me. Cuckoo got played A LOT.

The album cover for curve's album Cuckoo from the early 1990s, featuring a predominantly purple cover, with a number of speckled eggs, with the Curve and Cuckoo text against a white background on the top 1/4 of the image.
