A single source in a book by Lord Ashcroft claims Farage is banned from Desert Island Discs? Well, it must be true then. Because heās famously been kept off the BBCās output hasnāt he? You barely see his grinning toad face on the corporationās channels.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.
