#TrumpyPumpy's celebrity traitors sacked: "The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught “doctoring” my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th." Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt “Journalists.”

Just been up Junction Road to buy some things. Walked past a policeman stopping a dark-skinned man on a scooter with a balding pate and a thick, black beard. As I strode by I heard the copper say 'There is one thing I have to ask you: are you a man or a woman or something else?'

In Memoriam - Remembrance Sunday 2025 - Compton The carved inscription on the monument reads: 'In honoured memory of the men of Compton who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1918. "Through the ages one clear flame of sacrifice has burned, and by its light men see god."'

Congratulations.

I am beyond thrilled that my @universitypress.cambridge.org book, Music & Musicians in Late Mughal India: Histories of the Ephemeral, has won the 2025 Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American Musicological Society for the best book written by "a scholar past the early stages of their career" 🙏♥️ #AMSMT25

Silly arse. Why doesn't he cover his face with orange pancake-mix and wear a wig? Or was the #TrumpyPumpy bop a condition for receiving the dough?

9 November 1938. The synagogue opposite my family home in Vienna goes up in smoke.

Selig sind diese Schläfrigen: denn sie sollen bald einnicken.

Everything is a projection

Surely 6 January will become an annual day of celebration as 9 November was for Hitler's followers? Trumpers will march on the Capitol and throw bricks through designated windows, and #TrumpyPumpy will make a portentous 'ramble' (can't be called a speech) in a large branch of McDonalds.

It might be the only way he can draw comparison to FDR? By dying in office?

History will not be kind to him, nor should it.
