"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." @countbinface.bsky.social for Clacton.

"And in real life, Rod was kind and generous. He came to dinner at my house, and brought his family along to one of my Christmas parties, no doubt turning down far grander invitations to be there." Hitler was an animal lover, you know... Doted on his German Shepherd dogs...

Joanna Williams in The Telegraph: They are celebrating the death of Rod Liddle on Bluesky, and it's even worse than you think

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

The usual "tributes pouring in" for Rod Liddle, from those who worked with him. I don't get the admiration, frankly. He may have been able to string sentences together, but that doesn't disbar him from being a monumental arsehole.

Went to the pool at Biggin Hill today. All the flags on the lampposts, still there... All looking faded, and tatty, and rather sorry for themselves. Why the council doesn't take them down, I have no idea. Oh, hang on, Reform councillors in league with Tories on Bromley Council, that'll be it.

Saddened to hear about the passing of Franco Baresi at just 66. One of the all time great defenders in my book, 20 years at Milan, 15 as captain, all the way through their glory years in the 80s and 90s. RIP Franco.
