RIP to Brigitte Bardot, sixth best singer to collaborate with Serge Gainsbourg, but definitely the one most convicted for repeatedly inciting racial hatred.

βNone of us can guess how the Trump assault on the BBC will play out, because he wields unprecedented power, unchecked by personal dignity or decency.β No. We canβt. But we can condemn forever the repulsive British politicians and media gobshites who would side with him instead of us.

Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. Weβre haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what itβs worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

"They looked towards the hilltop and saw a yellow flame rising against the sky. Too-ticky had lit the bonfire. It wrapped itself in flames at once, from ground to top, it gave a roar like a lion and threw its reflection straight down on the black ice" Moominland
