Any bailout must be funded by a new Lloyd Webber musical, this time about Millei.

Argentina's biggest exports now are weird short stories written by a guy who died 40 years ago, and footballers.

Absorb it as the 52nd state and then send all deportations there, which now count as internal transfers.

The societal person-hours being expended on this waste is probably at least the 20th largest country in the world in terms of GDP. Same happening now within universities.

Can't believe Farage said something wrong at a policy announcement. He's usually on top of all the details.

The Rapture is unworkable. However, just in case... discontinuednotes.com/2022/01/02/t...

Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works." Entirely untrue. Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

The sentiments in Keir Starmer’s editorial in yesterday’s Sun are broadly good. But it’s 2025, not 1995. Even pensioners are overwhelmingly online and on social. Where’s the 21st century comms strategy? Where’s the video? And where’s the urgency?

Has Farage done the first of his series of "clarifications" yet?

I bet the comments under that article are calm, thoughtful, and measured.

What would O'Brien doublethink?

Once again, I'm reminded that the smartest thing I ever did was have cancer and go in and out of the disability benefits system under a different government.

UK equivalent: "Dad. Arsenal fan. Hates woke bullshit. Working on improving inventory and delivery."

What's the point of this "London Film Festival" if the 4 films I might want to see are already sold out? Sort it out, Starmer.

Social media depends on the unpaid labour of thousands of shitposters #WagesForShitposts

You ever notice how in all of the hagiographies of Kirk they don’t actually quote him?

Gastropub can't decide on its "theme".

This won't stop without intervention. And it can't just be tolerated. So it needs to get more difficult this Autumn to turn a blind eye to this bsky.app/profile/sund...

BATTLE OF BRITAIN 85: 21st-22nd Sept 1940. The Luftwaffe confined itself to ‘nuisance’ raids and recon sorties. Night attacks on London continued on both days - relatively light on 21st September, but causing 72 deaths and injuring 224 people on the 22nd. 📷 warbirdsresourcegroup.org 🧵1/6

Being Generation X in the UK isn't just about grunge and Britpop. There was also a 3rd Act, in which Liz Truss became, briefly, our most distinguished member. That taught a powerful lesson: "Maybe self-belief isn't so great after all, despite the nihilistic 90s".

Seeing Liz Truss getting embraced by MAGA fills me with a great sense that Britain Can Make It. We were at rock bottom when she was in charge, but we've offloaded her on America.

Can we just retconn it that Fergie was never an actual Royal? I mean that's how a lot of us have always felt about her.

Yeah but now we're ahead of the game and have a lead on where the *next* shootings will occur.

It's even worse - they've bet it all on a horse. If it wins then the rest of us won't have any money left at all as they'll clean out the entire world economy settling their winnings.

"Media Studies 77" by Rodney Graham

Neo-fascists looking miserable as ever. I was opposite their frontline this afternoon and they just stand around looking glum. No chanting, no singing, no laughing. Just stay at home if this doesn't even bring you joy, lads.

Fash overwhelmed by anti-fascists in Glasgow. As always, we're joyful, singing ABBA and chanting, and the fascists are just standing gloomily, not even bothering to chant or sing.

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social consider yourselves disrespected

Bet she doesn't.

After seeing this woke nonsense about "leaf fall season" I am now radicalised and will be voting Reform.

Whichever FBI agent decided to get the US Left arguing over the meaning and implications of "materialism" should replace Kash Patel immediately. Absolute Grandmaster.

Go on, do Piers Morgan next

I WAS JOKING

It's reassuring to know they've got the brightest and best all over this.

Trash aesthetic discontinuednotes.com/2025/09/20/s...

Fun fact: this way of deflecting tough questions goes back to at least Lloyd George at a public meeting.

They're just winding us all up.

Tommy Robinson must be kicking himself he didn't get his fans to put up any old flag they liked, he'd have had 70 million on the streets that way.

Some say Trump brought in authoritarianism but it seems he also caused an exciting new phase for American photojournalism so who can judge

"Kimmel suspension" ought to be an engineering term only Army tank mechanics know about.

Now at a trendy pub in Stoke Newington. Half the clientele are goths with t-shirts for 3-day festivals in the last decade. The other half seem to men running marketing consultancies off their phones.

timeline cleanse: franky watches the garbage truck pick up the trash this morning

Ok I've been away for a few hours. What are the latest splits/fights/clampdowns, has Trump banned SNL yet or any Star Wars extended universe bits that are obviously satirical

AI bots trained on my CV will have great unfulfilled potential.

19 September 1940 | Witold Pilecki, a member of the Secret Polish Army, knowingly let himself be caught by German policemen in a roundup in Warsaw to get arrested & be sent to Auschwitz to set up a resistance there. He succeeded. A podcast about Witold Pilecki: https://youtu.be/47tCajqI0W0

I may need to steer clear of Coventry Waterstones for a while. I was drinking an Americano in the cafe when my peace was broken the soft-brained pronouncements of a couple of old codgers convinced we are awash with immigrants, that Trump was right to give Starmer what-for about the ECHR…
