My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

They look like Dick Tracy villains

This is ace, have a listen

If you see this, quote with your model of masculinity

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses. The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family. And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

I guess a few of you will remember when the streaker craze started. There was even a lad at my senior school who was, in dear ol' John Arlott's mind, a "freaker" (from my book, Made in Luton).

Smaller "hit box". Or so I'm lead to believe & use as an excuse.

Wife bought me one last Christmas... I was cock a hoop.

Here is the link of the original creator that made it. It’s a standard annual treat in my house/car/general vicinity every year around this time!

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

These are of course gorgeous. (Look closely at the bottom row.)

It’s Jeremy Brett’s birthday Here’s my favourite Holmes delivering a pub fight masterclass with panache, killer moves & a knowing smile. He even gets a round of applause from the regulars at the end. Love the post-fight analysis with Watson. The man was ridiculously watchable.

this is the best movie i've ever seen

The nightmarishly surreal title sequence to SHADOWS OF FEAR (1970), ITV's incredibly nasty psychological horror/thriller anthology. Heavily reminiscent of Yellow Submarine, it's accompanied by Roger (Hammer House of Horror, George & Mildred) Webb's queasy cocktail jazz theme tune.

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...
