1986 Children's BBC gangland thriller Running Scared was so unrelentingly grim that it used actual authentic 'villain' slang without explaining it. Here's @markreckons.bsky.social on being confused by the menacing references to 'bins'. timworthington.org/2025/01/30/t...

When spiders watch too much GB News

There was a spider caught on our Ring Doorbell drive camera last night and I thought he was probably just doing a normal web or something and it had triggered the sensor but it turns out that it looks like the spiders have been watching too much GB News.

Robert Glenister's range in his narration of the Strike novels is utterly extraordinary.

I hadn't realised they were on a break. I might have had a pop.

This is absolutely disgusting. I'd have thought the Swiss would have more respect for our infrastructure than this.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Meanwhile, its kicking off on Twitter

Trump insisted he'd stop the war on Day One. He's been back 208 days and achieved nothing. He has talks and summits where he claims "progress" then Russia immediately goes back to slaughtering Ukrainians. He's failed. Humiliatingly. That should be the headline. Putin is playing him like a fiddle.

Painted rock birthday pressie from my 11yo today. There's a boy who knows his daddy!

Looks like I was wrong. They did release a repurposed version in 2022 and I can only assume they'll do the same again. Good on them 👍

Why haven't Baddiel and Skinner released a new version called Three Lionesses?

NEW! Highlights with @redskyatnight.bsky.social on Fax, @mitchbenn.bsky.social on The Deceivers, @markreckons.bsky.social on Your Party Needs You, @donnarees.bsky.social on The Monty Python Matching Tie And Handkerchief and more! timworthington.org/2025/07/24/t...

All these "Think-pieces" and debates about whether we're seeing the breakdown of the US constitution are pissing me off. No we are not seeing its breakdown. We are seeing the abject cowardice of those whose job is to uphold it refuse to do their duty. And basically let an ego-maniac do what he likes

Do we know whether some day Fred did actually win the fight and that cat had to stay out for the night?

We thought Reform UK was all about cutting costs?🤔 Green Party group leader Jonathan Chilvers: “Their claim to voters was that they would cut ‘wasteful’ council spending, and yet their very first proposal does the exact opposite.“ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

General Pinochet has entered the chat:

More details on this, from: righttoremain.org.uk/toolkit/ente... There is no legal route into the UK as an asylum seeker. There is no queue.

💯

*Every* single time a politician uses the phrase "Jumping the queue" with respect to migrants as James Cleverly has just done they should immediately be asked "What queue?" and the journalist should insist on the details of how people can join this queue.
