This is how I found out! I'm a historian, pretending people were decent just becuase they are dead is poor practice. My suggestion would be that if you are friends with gross abusive bigots you should yourself 'be kind' by being silent rather than trying to deny their harmful words and actions.

post from Ben Goldacre, with labels marking him as Private School and Magdalen College School. Text reads "Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. 

If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind."

Rod Liddle has died. He blazed a trail from international socialist in Labour to the xenophobic "left conservatism" of zombie Social Democratic Party. He wrote for the Guardian until 2003, then increasingly curled out his stale pale male opinions in RW press. He'll mostly be remembered as a nonce.

Guardian Child protection: 

Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography?

I wanted to look at some pictures of child pornography from the internet this week and then tell you all about them, but I couldn't because my stupid modem broke down. I'm not sure how the

law or, for that matter, society will view my failure. The intent, clearly, was there. In mitigation I suppose I could say I was planning to do it all on your behalf and would gain no pleasure from the operation myself.

That's what I could say. In which case perhaps the policemen should turn up at your house instead.

Rod Liddle article  in THE SPECTATOR

"I never found out because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way - and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called. I just thought we ought to clear that up early on. At my old comprehensive..."

["I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called" = Year Ten is 14 to 15 years old]

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40ยฐC in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Last night I attended the cast and crew screening of Rogue Trooper by Duncan Jones. It was utterly incredible. I donโ€™t know the franchise and had no clue what it was about , even though I recorded a very short voice sequence used in the film. I can honestly say itโ€™s an amazing movie.
