âAll sci-fi is a family teatime treatâ says 1970s BBC reeling from Star Wars, before scheduling a bleak eco-fable about an unstable man who murders his co-workers aboard a doomed space ship.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Itâs very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until theyâre older and can âhandle itâ as if the last decade hasnât been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.

Itâs weird how the news sometimes isnât news. âFarage the school racistâ was in the public domain five years ago, but it just wasnât getting any traction. (Tweets below from 2020) Sometimes a story just has to wait until its time has comeâŠ

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russiaâs attack Britainâs primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin. Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten? It is Profumo on stilts

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only âdefenceâ becomes: âYes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didnât need bribes to do it.â It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
