Professionally analytical, quiz-geek, photo hobbyist, TV-head, who talks about Doctor Who far too much.
Anyone who wants to abandon the ECHR and join Russia and Belarus as pariah states should watch and learn. The ECHR protects all of us. Even if a tiny (and shrinking) minority take advantage, that's no reason to cut it down. youtu.be/PDBiLT3LASk?...

Watching the new Masters of the Universe movie. Lots of fun, very silly, just enough innuendo. I'd been racking my brains trying to work out what Jared Leto is doing as Skeletor, until I realised - he's playing it as Stewie Griffin.
This is everyone's perennial reminder that "Prime Minister X" is not how it's used here. It's not a title like President. #SmallHill
I guess it says something out my englishman credentials that a priority for home control dashboard building is this: #homeassistant
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Radio | BBC Radio 4 Long Wave has now closed. R4 announcer Al Ryan provided the closing announcement. A pre-recorded looped announcement about the closure will run until Tuesday, when the 3 LW transmitters will be switched off. Clip: The Buzzer Channel/YT.
++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"
How teams/delegations are received in Mexico versus the US
Now he's been named, Sky News have the attacker's name on their screen in a giant yellow sidebar. It's not moving, been there for at least the last 5 minutes. I can guarantee Sky News will not do this for a single person involved in burning people out of their homes when their names are known
A small hill I'm willing to die on... We are the nation which invented 700 kg of cast iron red phone box to keep telephone conversations private. We're known for them. Speakerphone in public should be anathema.
FPTP is like The One Ring of politics in the UK. They know they need to destroy it, but once it's in their hands they think "Why shouldn't we keep it? We can use it for good!" and then everything goes dead-Boromir-shaped
Is it bad that every time I hear this France #eurovision song go "regarde moo, regarde too" I'm reminded of the Chuckle Brothers #tometoyou
Is it bad that whenever i hear The Bangles' Eternal Flame, it's undercut by this: youtu.be/s4YQnt0PVOU?... #totp #windymiller

One of the things I find frustrating about sci-fi is that because of the American influence of it, all of the planets are called things like Zexion 5 and Danshassia 7. I’d call them things like ‘Nether Roundthorpe’ and ‘Spheresbury’. Gravity Bywell. Chalfont St Globeby. Bishop’s Goitre.
First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...
