reading austen is important for a number of impractical life skills but mostly in how to call someone a wanker to their face in the 18th century — "I send no compliments to your mother" — the recipient would carry that around for 20 years and then kill themselves

Spooky advent day 6: Krampus, a traditional figure in Central and Eastern European folklore, is basically a terrifying horned bad santa, accompanying St Nicholas on his visits to children on the night before St Nicholas' Day (6th Dec) and punishing the bad ones by whipping them with birch twigs.

Not a single one of the 110,000 knuckle dragging thugs in London today will vote Labour. There is nothing to be lost but plenty to be gained by Starmer condemning them in very strong terms.

I know a lot of people have expressed similar sentiments but I’ve lived in London for 20+ years and never felt threatened or a even a bit scared to be here until today. This needs to end.

I’ve been a defender of the BBC for all of my life, I think, and I have worked in their newsrooms and on other shows and projects. Ever since we were told they were going to go further right to appease right wing people, the whole news department has gone mental.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
