Still getting over my flu, have to drive to Cumbria tomorrow. Yay! At least the weather is good..? #Holidays

I am quite happy not to be ill anymore, thank you very much. And some sleep occasionally would be nice too.

This is an easy one for the BBC. ‘We’re not saying you’re a shameless racist and anti-Semite, Mr Farage. We’ve no idea. We’re just asking questions’.

Someone mentioned to me that the song Feliz Navidad sounds like a Scouser singing “Police nabbed me dad” and now that’s all I can hear

Prompted by coming across a clip of Boney M performing their seminal 1978 smash hit Rasputin, I’ve just worked out that we have only another 15 years to go until the distance between Rasputin’s actual death and the Boney M song = the same as the distance between the Boney M song and now. Bit scary.

Nick Griffin:

I have the flu, and it sucks. Feeling pretty sorry for myself.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!” “I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Insomnia and ADHD is a fucking potent combination. Fucks sake, how do I turn my brain off?

Not rude things, a thread:

do we think Ben Whishaw struggles to date because of how weird it must be to sleep with someone who has Paddington's voice

Chapeau

Re: Climate Collapse.

It’s been so long since I watched ANYTHING on terrestrial TV, the whole concept of having to wait to watch something at a defined time seems archaic and farcical. Plus after trying it again while looking after mother, there is NOTHING worth watching anyway. No license fee next year.

Have just finished 3rd session of shockwave therapy on my heels. Imagine a painful bruise, someone sticking their thumb into it hard, then increasing pressure for 4 minutes. Ouch. Skateboarding has ruined my feet and ankles.

Despite my better nature I am actually quite enjoying Landsman. Tho the female characters are terribly written. It’s like Dallas 2025, soapy as fuck.

Thank GOD for Andrew Fisher!! FINALLY we get to hear about Spain on #r4today The fastest growing economy in Europe & outstripping the US as well & how? Wealth tax, rent controls & a positive integration-focused approach to immigration & asylum!! 🙌👏👏👏

Have labs. Can relate.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

Orcs of Saruman should not be familiar with the French word “Menu.”

Immigration creates jobs, supports public services, & drives growth. These are economic facts. How is it that the only days we *dont* have the media banging on about immigration is on the days we’re handed the budget? #r4today

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

If I didn't know better I'd call this a conspiracy to abolish the OBR

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

And just like that; I am orphaned. Weird.

Without any spoilers - Pluribus. Yay or nay? Need a new series.

Mother’s funeral tomorrow. Dreading it TBH.

The Thing from Another World is one of the most homely films I’ve ever seen. Saw it first time at 14 yrs and rewatched it regularly many times. Bona fide classic that deserves more attention. Perfect Christmas film.

BASS how low can you go? Death Row What a brother knows

Aliens Highlander Local Hero Raiders of the Lost Ark

Remembering Christopher John Reuel Tolkien on his birthday! the one who protected and expanded J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacy like no one else.His work shaped the Middle-earth we know today, and we remain forever grateful. 🙏

Gutted for his friends and family. And makes me feel terribly mortal. RIP.

media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention: the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC the scandal was created by right wing media the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law PBC, NPR never aired the documentary

The weather is wintry. Are we playing Christmas hits? No, it’s fucking November. Are we making mince pies and eggnog? FUCK YEAH

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Easy choice if you're a deer deciding where to buy a house

There will come a time when Portishead is used extensively at funerals. Lovely tunes. X

In all honesty, starting up yet another internecine Labour civil war right at the point of ridiculous implosion early in their first term is pretty much why so many will not vote Labour. Fucking grow up, you dicks. You’re as bad as Corbyn and Sultana, and we see you.

First weekend in several weeks where I have zero commitments, zero family responsibilities, work has settled down a bit, and hopefully no medical drama. Think I’ll get hammered for two days and listen to my vinyl.

Happy Fenton Day to all who celebrate. Jesus Christ, fourteen years. youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

It’s looking increasingly like McSweeney is essentially Dominic Cummings in a fake moustache

Whether or not this is true, dear god it's patronising. Particularly given that nothing any mainstream British politician has come up with *this century* has 'added up' either. I'm not totally convinced by the Greens but look at the endless, compromised, self-perpetuating failure of the alternatives
