“I don’t like to talk about it …!

Yeah we were actively taught in school history lessons that slavery (and indeed racism) were things that happened in America. If slavery was ever discussed as a British policy, it was in the context of abolitionism

It’s “Extra Textures” 50th anniversary. Listening party on Saturday? @beatlespod.bsky.social @beatlesbookspod.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social @pavementoyster.bsky.social @jillianreilly.bsky.social @bookyvikki.bsky.social @michaelmjt.bsky.social @michellemabelle.bsky.social

I will keep pitching this until he dies: the next Bond film should be MI6 asking one of the older Bonds to unretire for one last mission, since the most recent one died. Then this Bond--Timothy Dalton--trains a new Bond.

Very happy to announce something special for Monday. We will be joined by @stevenc63.bsky.social of the Nothing Is Real podcast @beatlespod.bsky.social to discuss the Concert for George film! Steven was at the concert, though he is famously reluctant to talk about it, but we dragged it out of him.

The Smell of Reeves and Starmer

There’s a certain genre of book that you know is shit and objectionable because it’s championed by the shit and objectionable and is acidly kicked by the good and nice but yet has to be read. A painful process shelling out the £ and time.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.

"It's so bad, it's bad." - Steven Cockcroft As usual Mr C is absolutely right, but luckily there's more to tell about this sickly colourful movie that is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Movie. Trust me, you don't have to watch it to enjoy this excellent episode. #NIRAGAIN
