Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

I am now of an age - 53 and change - when I go back to a shop if I’ve been overcharged when a 2 for 1 offer hasn’t been acknowledged. It can’t be long now until I complain about anyone under the age of 25 for simply walking down the road.

@neilperryman.bsky.social Happy Birthday 🥳

Man of the People seems to be surrounded by crooks, predators and treacherers. Funny that.

I guess it’s time to take bets on which show Disney cancels first, Alien Earth or Doctor Who.

Four years without you today xx

Just another mad day in the world of POTUS Trump

The New Avengers on 4K for £150. Jog the fuck on.

Imagine if Hitler had had the internet.

Britain’s political morals have now sunk to the level we welcome a sociopathic liar, felon and egotist as though he’s the Pope, whilst rolling out the Royal Family to perform a charm offensive that might prevent a tariff rise and offer the sort of trade deal we had as standard under the EU.

Robert Redford was ridiculously good looking and outrageously charming. It’s like someone 3-D printed the perfect American hero and made him flesh. He was also a great actor, and a champion of just the kind of independent cinema he flowered in. A golden boy in the golden days of Hollywood. RIP.

Lest we forget

If you live by the sword, you die by the sword

Nice to see Skynet, Weyland-Yutani and the Tyrell Corporation still able to break bread together while the world burns.

After Lucy Connolly, it looks like Reform UK are pulling out all the stops for their closing speech.

Trump rebranding his department of peace

Anyone have Reform UK’s opening gambit as a mix of Stars in Their Eyes and BGT? Me neither.

To quote @neilperryman.bsky.social the absolute fucking state of this

The absolute fucking state of these Farage-fucking stormtroopers

So, banks’ online & telephone revolution means less and less people use high-street facilities. They close, leaving staff to relocate to other branches and areas. When this is still insufficient they introduce a Darwinian ‘survival of the fittest’ policy to counter a problem they themselves created.

In other news, they never cancelled Moffat’s Sherlock, it’s just that Cumberbatch and Freeman are “super busy” on other subjects. They’ve been rolling that one out since January 2017.

Day 95 of nobody admitting that Doctor Who has been cancelled. That Chilcott report publication record is still catchable.

“Phwoar, look at the flag on her!”

Looking after a friend’s cat while they’re on holiday. My visit today was…brief.

Why has Mary Whitehouse never been the subject of a biopic? Olivia Coleman would be a perfect fit.

This aged well

So, the choice is clear: keep immigration levels so there’s workers who pay tax and look after the elderly, or shag like bunnies for the next 25 years. And even that might not be enough.

Meanwhile, wearing a t-shirt outside a hotel holding migrants with the words “Kill them all” is perfectly fine.

For orca left in limbo, zoo resorts to sexual stimulation to stop inbreeding www.bbc.com/news/article...

Another thoroughly informative edition.

Here’s ‘political prisoner’ Lucy Connolly’s original tweet which led to her imprisonment of which she served a year (40%). Not only does she call on all migrant-holding hotels to be burned to the ground, but also the ‘corrupt governments’ she believes have enabled the situation.

May I present to you the 49th and 50th President of the United States

Oh do fuck off. You served 40% of your sentence for suggesting people should go and burn down a hotel with human beings in it. Be grateful you’re out on licence and stop trying to make out you’re Chez Guevara.

Yet another absorbing TED talk from John and Neil, though if you’re delving into the minutiae of ITV union politics again I shall need a handout and some slides as well as the newsletter.

Is Alien: Earth designed to make you appreciate the prequels more? They’re far from being great but at least stuff happens, the evil robot is memorable and aliens actually kill people. And enough of the Blue Remembered Hills bullshit, please.

Only discovered today I am the same height as Tommy ‘Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’ Robinson. I never knew they stacked shit that high.

“The TARDIS is going nowhere” <Kate Phillips, BBC chief content officer> Never a truer word spoken

Finally. It’s been worth the wait.

I think the ‘notice to parents’ sign behind this nonce carries more weight than the stop-the-hotdog-boats one he’s holding.

Sad, if predictable, that all the media obits for Terence Stamp start with playing the villain in a couple of Superman movies. Anyone who knows anything would recognise Stamp’s position as a cultural behemoth of the swinging 60s, his work with Schlesinger, Loach and Soderberg, and General Zod.

Wonderful, beautiful Terrence Stamp has left us. An icon in the truest sense of the 60s, and one of our greatest acting exports. Also General Zod, for whom we should forever take the knee.

Funny how it’s always the self-proclaimed ‘protectors’ that are leaving residents feeling uneasy and unsafe, and rarely the subject of their ire. I though mobs with flaming torches went out with Hammer films.

Alien: Earth - In space, no one can hear you snore

RIP Ray Brooks, who for many like me was one of the voices of their childhood. Loved him in Big Deal with Sharon Duce too.

Very bold of the new Alien: Earth series to suggest the next hundred years continue the monopolisation of culture, art, music, and pretty much everything else by a select number of colossal corporation oligarchs. Especially as one of those potential corporations is Disney, streamer of Alien: Earth.

For anyone not willing to go along the narrative of “rape and sexual assault is a symptom of uncontrolled immigration” which also covers not being able to see your doctor and not being able to get on the housing list.

So, those plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon 🤔

I remember liking the James Whale radio show back in those early days of ITV night time. It was at times anarchic and groundbreaking. So I’d like to extend my sympathies to his family on his passing. Except of course older me now only sees he was a racist and reactionary cunt, so may he burn in hell
