Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 9hOh my giddy aunt - looks like De Gaulle Resistance and Liberte may becoming out on digital this after all From the advert for what I persume is the American release 120
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 10hNot showing the whole thread becsuse the rest is reasonable and don't want to start a pile-on, but this screams of finding a reason to be mad at people. The reason people say "Jewish person/people" is they have been taught that bluntly saying "Jew/Jews" was what racists do, a la saying "the Blacks" 040
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Look at the difference between Gordon Brown when he's an active politician engaging with English footballers and when he's retired watching an England game 120
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I am once again asking you to recognise that Britain just simply isn't European 410
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don't think left of centre opinion has fully internalised how discrediting to statism, nonsense like this is. Real people's lives have been ruined by skittish politicians acting like God. No way to run a piss-up in a brewery, let alone a vital public service 130
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Cool idea but when do I get my De Gaulle double bill followed by a Julian Jackson book club!!! 010
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We must stop Putin's anti-LGBTQ+ agenda! .... What do you mean it's referring to the animal!?! 020
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 03/10/2026"And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin emergency podcast on Man City" 050
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 29/09/2026One thing I hadn't picked up before is the very clear influence The Troubles in Northern Ireland had on how Wagner wrote about Total War and the Judges's response 010
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Great sly joke that America is such a faded memory in Mega City One that a Judge assumes control would need it spelling out 130
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Give me your most French line ever.... No, that's too French! 0203
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And his most recent article on immigration was attacking efforts to gut Visa programs 000
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If we end up with Labour having to do a LibDem, Green, Nationalist Coalition that will surely be proof that 2010 not 2016 was the sliding doors moment in British politics 350
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Stephen to his slightly older mentions this afternoon 060
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 14/09/2026More regulation with a side helping of racism... 040
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Not sure which of these lists it's weirder for me to be on; I've never consumed any Harry Potter media and now ban my kids from doing so for political reasons, and I've pretty much opposed every Western military intervention in the past 30 years 630
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 12/09/20261. I knew the West Midlands owed us East Midlanders reparations 2. As someone who has since 2008 lived in the West Midlands for all but three years, do I recieve or contribute to them? 010
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Don't all do-gooders do this to the people they do-good at? 010
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Did not expect @jonnelledge.bsky.social to reference the park next to my flat 110
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Pretty sure Brexiters alignment with Trump et al is a bigger problem for Brexit than not securing a fake/bad free trade deal with America 000
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 03/09/2026He's calmed down a lot lately, but every now and again, he shows the game that made him an all-time great wind-up merchant. 050
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Okay that's it. Human civilisation was a mistake. 040
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I don't want to be all "That's Devolved" but on what planet are the Greens ahead of the SNP, Plaid and Sinn Fein in the major party stakes? And you can't even say they contest all of Great Britain unlike those parties, because the party Polanski leads is limited to England and Walles. 170
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The OG White Yardie lol (This was 29 years ago btw - which underlines just how weird trying trying ti make carnival a wedge issue is) 030
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I really dislike this (very common) slight of hand. A company's annual turnover should be compared to a country's GDP because they're both measurements of annual capacity. That gives you a better sense of how much bigger countries still i.e. Nivida's turnover is 0.03% of Germany's GDP 1241
Will Cooling @willcooling.bsky.social · 30/08/2026No - but this one might itcouldbesaid.substack.com/p/it-could-b... 061
