War? Kemi never said she supported the war! What are you talking about? thecritic.co.uk/the-...

How about Churchill with a rhino he has shot on the £5? That should make everyone happy

I took my blind gran to vote on the new bank notes, and she very loudly said "which one to gas badgers?" and the whole place cheered.

Remember, the others think he's the clever one.

HOW? HOW DO YOU "UNDERSTAND" THIS? MESSAGES FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD?

Could be worse. In order to avoid controversy, all Euro notes feature bridges. In order further to avoid controversy, they're all fictional. Or they were until the folk of the Dutch town of Spijkenisse took it upon themselves to build them. Now all Euro notes feature bridges from just one Dutch town

Honestly can’t believe what the Bank of England is putting on our great British fiver

King Rat is James Clavell's amazing tale of hunger and the struggle to survive, based on his own experiences in a Japanese POW camp. Watch, then listen to our episode on it. pod.fo/e/2b7190

I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

when you write up and file your piece before the press conference.

I think these companies might be the purest grift of all the gifts www.ft.com/content/1518... Shocked Farage is involved..... Here's my workings about how they function to siphon money from investors wp.me/pDsIG-1bR Here if you prefer substack open.substack.com/pub/gileswil...

Sad news for the voters of Clacton who were hoping Farage would be able to bend the POTUS’ ear about fortnightly bin collections.

hello I'm mental

Watch, then listen to our episode on it with @alexvont.bsky.social... pod.fo/e/2b3777

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is showing on BBC2 this afternoon. When will it get a full 4K release? one of the most gorgeous Technicolor films of the 20th century and one of the greatest British films ever made

The Siege of Jadotville! For this week's episode of War Movie Theatre, think Zulu, if the Zulus had heavy mortars and air support. https://pod.fo/e/39d05d

Loved "Dead Poets Society" when I was 15, then avoided ever letting my own teenagers know it existed.

A widespread affliction (see @roberthutton.co.uk : thecritic.co.uk/the-dumb-dum...).

It's only Regime Change if it comes from the NeoCon region of Washington. Otherwise it's Sparkling Restructuring.

Question: someone i know who's already a writer in another area wants to do a crime-writing course. No getting published content, they have that covered, just craft stuff. Preferably online, suitable for a UK timezone. Please do share if you don't know of one! #AuthorSky

Apart from its countless other pleasures, I, a professional screenwriter, will never figure out how you write something with a plot hole the size of the Lincoln Tunnel & it just doesn't matter, nobody cares, maybe you notice it but then you forget, the movie is just that good

Love this podcast. Flypaper for middle aged men.

I'd give it five minutes if I were you. I just predeployed.

Why is it I'm thinking of the 'Judgement at Nuremberg' section of @warmovietheatre.com when I see this quote?

The Siege of Jadotville! We're kicking off Fighting Irish Month with a terrific film about a forgotten battle. Think "Zulu", if the Zulus had air support. champ.ly/TFoVlEto

Goondalf too of course, and Gimli, son of Gooin.

Ah, the goons, the Men of Goondor.

Excited to get a Badenoch explanation for this line on Radio 4. "Actually, it's Tolkien." thecritic.co.uk/the-...

I *think* Kemi Badenoch is currently arguing for a first strike approach to nuclear war.

The best explanation for the British right's enthusiasm for war with Iran: brain damage. thecritic.co.uk/the-...

"Mr Speaker, as @GIGACHAD_1776 said to me on X yesterday"

Such an odd boast.

Asif Aziz evictions story is going mainstream. Telegraph and Independent have covered in recent days. Now the FT has done a brilliant piece - including finding another property affected, where a Ukrainian refugee and their disabled son are being evicted by Aziz. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

Got to love a leading question. You could ask Trump if Starmer's policy is the result of wicked elves climbing down the No10 chimneys and get this answer.

Always brilliant.

Richard Tice shouted "coward" at this point, but arguably the only thing more dangerous than being rude about Oakeshott is being one of her sources.

This week Peter Apps, whose spine was broken more than 20 years ago, brought in Reach For The Sky, the story of Douglas Bader, the double-amputee who became a WW2 ace. It was the film Peter watched as he prepared to rejoin the army. champ.ly/SVAvFJG0

Is it ok to laugh at people who left the "crime ridden streets" of London for the safety of Dubai?
