I like the fact Forde is compared to Tim Lovejoy, I remember once likening Forde's predictably titled memoir 'Politically Homeless' to the famously mauled 'Lovejoy on Football' - I've read neither, and do occassionally see if charity shops have them to see how bad both are.

He's the Tim Lovejoy of 'comedy'.

Everyone’s faces when they realise they’ll still repeat an *old* Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas Special.

Don't know what you're all complaining about, they look just like the real Monkees

no one called it 'cutting off family' when these same parents threw their gay kids out of the house. wild how that works.

When the snowflakes pretend they played no part in the avalanche

Reflecting on the media coverage of Jason Arday.

To be honest, Jeremy Vine, I'd say that one of the 'lessons' we can learn from what happened to Jason Arday is that we need less shows that invite all and sundry to air their unasked for opinions.

Reading poor Robin Ince's account of being hounded out of work by anti trans wankers. To a much lesser extent I remember something similar. There is a fury, a hatred among these people. They don't stop. Their assiduous delight in hounding Jason Arday is what happens when there aren't consequences.

When Alexander of Macedon was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer... Eric Bristow's only 27! Sid (100:80)

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

Honestly, what level of self-reflection do you expect from a section of the English media so racist that it didn’t want *Jude Bellingham* to go to the World Cup?

I see people lying every day - fearmongering about immigrants, trans people, disabled people, benefit claimants. Do they get hounded to death? No, they get cushy jobs at the Mail, Telegraph, Sun, Times and Express. So spare me the pretending that the press actually give a solitary shit about lying.

Welcome to "stealth delete or double down" day from our wonderful free press. Not a contrition will be shown, not a chance to learn or stop happening again next time will be taken, not a consequence will be had.

The last thing we need is a witch hunt against those who participated in a so-called witch hunt | someone in the Spectator-Telegraph shortly

I think it's bad that the UK press can escalate what is essentially a workplace matter into national news ahead of the fucking country being on fire and then get away with hounding their victim until they die.

Lionel Richie took his talented cat to the zoo, they got chucked out for performing with the exhibits, but, what a feline, dancing on the sealion #totp

Jason Arday being found dead is a horrendous way for the story to end. Elements of the press and wider media are who were relentless in their pursuit won’t stop for a moment to consider how brutal that attention was.

⚠️ UK GOVERNMENT ALERT ⚠️ Brennan Johnson will be wearing the Number 22 shirt for Everton during the 2026-27 season. ⚠️ STAY ALERT! ⚠️

Its been over half an hour since the alert, and its cloudy here, and I still haven't set anything on fire. Before I was told not to, I still hadn't set anything on fire.

Made me jump so much I dropped all my lit matches

Me, as Prime Minister: This feels like an emergency? Advisor: Running out of biscuits is not an emerg... Me: BRING ME THE BUTTON.

Many years ago, when I first started writing for The Dark Side (Britain's oldest horror mag) we had a bit of a friendly pub quiz rivalry with Empire magazine for a while. We kept losing though. Until one week we discovered a secret weapon. /1
