I too was blindsided by Huw Edwards’s chutzpah here but you know what? If he wants to be a Tory councillor, I can trust he’s reformed himself sufficiently
Would be a disaster if صندوق الاستثمارات العامة get relegated this season. Please no.

The toilet obsessors’ guidance kicking in tomorrow feels utterly despairing. A generational enclosure of basic, basic liberty, with the keys handed over to the UK’s most internet-fried minds. Woe to everyone who brought us here.
they (The Sun) used to get him to write typical fulminating editorials about bringing back hanging, despite him being exactly the sort of person that would be subject to it if they did. could never decide if that was their punishment for him, or him essentially bragging about being untouchable
Dr Neutopia@oceanclub.bsky.social · 2d agoToday reminds me there was a UK journalist who died and received fulsome tributes from many others. It was considered the height of rudeness when some pointed out none of the tributes had mentioned he'd killed his wife. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ka...
To be fair to Rod Liddle, writing a piece titled “Kemi gives me hope” then dying a few weeks later is humour I can endorse.
Everyone will have their own favourite moments; naturally mine is when it emerged he had an account on the Millwall fans forum and used it to post racist content that had the locals going ‘fucking hell mate, that’s a bit ripe’ and similar
Chris Brooke@chrisbrooke.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat an appalling man he was.
For Lewis Goodall’s next trick, he shall be chairing discussions on why large dogs needn’t be kept on leads and why inheritance tax should be 100% after your first acre at the 2027 NFU conference
Lockdowns and school closures only cause harm when the UK subordinates disadvantaged children within a class-based society, so it’s fine. Also we shouldn’t entertain an assisted dying bill until the commodity form is abolished
We can at least agree that cordoning off swing parks was terrible for children, can’t we?
I get this is a Telegraph reader-tier flippant thing to say but almost everyone who talks climate collapse to me flies more than the common swift
Tragicomic flip side to there being no silly season anymore is that thanks to culture wars we recently had a multi-week, term time meltdown over a pine marten being the potential replacement for Jebediah Britain on our £5 notes, enjoying outraged cross-party consensus. lol!
Such a bad look when chuckle accounts disable replies. Let the unfunny riff in your mentions, cowards!
Relative to capitalism (very bad) these things are benign lol. Not my thing and not my prices but I mostly see people on Burnham’s pay fritter it on shit, humongous cars and large, tasteless homes to no opprobrium www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026...

Quiet day at the screen so I got around to reading some early Icke. Crap and not worth the bother of course. What swayed me towards parting with £2 at the time was the haunting photo that had mysteriously been left on pg. 84:
imagine somehow being too annoying for a west end performance of a lloyd webber music. must be quite a beating for him, but they must not have been handcuffed to the idea of him playing the role, even if he radiates charisma.
Did any southerners have a “he’s one of our own” moment for Keir Starmer? Bathing in the warmth of his Queen’s English, marvelling at his ability to chug a whole half pint of shandy in less than an hour?
also really love the elision of being "neurotypical' with somehow being capitalist lol. Yes I've definitely not noticed my bills going up because I don't need meth to put a wash on
Gerri@gerbelean.bsky.social · last wk.I've always found neurotypals be the weirdest people. I mean, they're completely oblivious and accepting of the enshittifaction of everything, whilst believing that "economic growth" is good, rather than a cancerous growth invading everything that is dear to us, and enriches our lives.
C4 returning to its origins of creating progressive, thoughtful TV already? Burnham on fire atm
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
A frightful sight when walking with the parents today. This is as close as I dared get. The bad news is the good news: we’ve only got each other out here
Badgers having evolved is the most extraordinary thing of all isn’t it. Awesome creatures.
Following the fortunes of our former managers, one who left in 2008 went on to become the football league’s second most brexity coach, while the one who left in 2018 went straight on to managing the football team at Yorkshire’s foremost Quaker prep school for several years(?)
