I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions. Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

So literally "Allahu akbar," only in English

Thames Water is a zombie company, kept alive by debt. Take it into Special Administration. That way cash from customer bills can go straight into sewage and water infrastructure rather than servicing the debt. Then take it into public ownership. We can't afford privatisation.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The best thing about Blake's 7 will always be its many futuristic board games.

I have received an email from an AI asking to write about borders for my newsletter, and it is giving me a genuine insight into how AI psychosis happens. it is so difficult not to understand this as "an actual sentient being addressing me" even though it has been entirely honest about being an AI

Here is Trump on 9/11 bragging that Trump Tower is now the tallest building in Manhattan

Anyone who has ever complained about London Underground, complain no more.
