Watched the latest South Park. Not terrible, but not great either. I think given the state of things, it is difficult to be satarists. Further, I am less aware of the current zeitgeist in the USA; again because of its ugly political convulsions.

i am watching superman (2013). I am 15 minutes in and theres no sign of clark kent or louis lane. wtf. weird alien explosions. but the aliens are human and speak english? i mean what's the probability of that?

I meet people every week when out vox popping who are completely convinced that small boat crossings are rising exponentially. They aren’t - they are falling substantially. Journalists and politicians have a duty to get this message across. Some are mendacious, others just incompetent.

Small boats to UK now down 45% year on year to mid-July. The BBC continues to (mistakenly) tend to hypothesise a weather effect. It is neither weather nor UK govt policy. It is a change in EU-wide flows.
