#totp My favourite Dylan covers are: All Along The Watchtower by XTC - the album version is magnificent and better than the rather unhinged Whistle Test clip, and.. My Back Pages by The Nice from the Elegy album. Absolutely an all time fave long before I knew it was even a Dylan Song.

My heart genuinely aches for all my trans friends in the UK today. I hope to Christ the fever of bigotry enveloping the country right now breaks soon. I hate these motherfuckers that make us suffer

Maybe this is because you can't turn on the radio without hearing hourly updates on the number of people arriving in small boats.

And this is how they report "equal lowest number of small boat arrivals by this time in the year for five years". The one-year comparison is in the standfirst but in the story it's the 11th par and there's no mention of a five-year low. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@channel4news.bsky.social deserves credit for this Like & Repost if you agree❓ We’d all love to see more of Farage being challenged not pandered to, let’s show them that and then hopefully they will do it more often👍🏼

Why can’t they take a hard line on this in the men’s game? This feels like: “I’m closing the bureau de change…. for an hour” www.theguardian.com/football/202...

If established artists such as Blur's Dave Rowntree are seeing an issue, imagine how bad it is for young musicians trying to break into the industry. Something needs to change.

Really excited to have a track on this excellent compilation amongst some really brilliant artists. A unique and inspiring brief for this album …

@migueldelaney.bsky.social Chatting with others we can’t decide whether the Football Writers player of the season is regarded as the “real” one as opposed to PFA award. I think older people think that way, as PFA award only started in ‘70’s. How is it viewed by younger writers like yourself?

Euston, we have a problem.

It really winds me up when they say ' it was a democratic vote that should be respected ' democracy is voting to change things and if we were only entitled to one vote on staying in or leaving the EU then we should have abided by the 1975 vote.

how about burning billionaires, pedophiles, genocidal warmongers, transphobes, rapists, and Nazis instead

One of the biggest mistakes by the government was to tolerate and pander to this group. Far right extremist thugs posing as patriots, who should have been clamped down on from day one www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

My 1st trip to De Montfort hall was 1978 to see the Buzzcocks, around the time Ever Fallen In Love came out. There again tonight for Roland Gift who did a great cover of it. What I did not expect was the first gig I’ve ever been to where the singer did a meat raffle on stage! Seat C3 was the winner.

BBC News can’t wait for Farage to “throw everything at it”. 🙄

If Starmer goes the next PM will be the 7th in 16 years. The previous 7 spanned 40 years between 2010 and 1970. Is this partly evidence of the impact of social media on the way society works? Post 2010 being roughly the start of social media becoming a way of life rather than a minor diversion?

Adolescence was very good, but I was dismayed that Waiting For The Out was not even nominated for anything. I thought it was magnificent. #bafta
