'Like that other music emerging from New York’s streets, hip hop, Rain Dogs champions the period’s losers rather than its winners, its beyond-cool outsiders over newly cool organisation men, its historic grit over contemporary glamour.' #TomWaits' Rain Dogs at 40 buff.ly/vHWSmzE

"They Liked The Bit On My CV About Lying About WMDs" Tony Blair On Why He's Being Picked For Gaza Authority Role https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/09/29/they-liked-the-bit-on-my-cv-about-lying-about-wmds-tony-blair-on-why-hes-being-picked-for-gaza-authority-role/

This is beautiful, Elliot and E.T. escaping from a bunch of ICE goons (sound up!)

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Magnus the magnificent tripod cat. #Caturday

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

‘magic money tree’ is a pretty silly thing to say when you live in a fiat economy.

"So, you're a Fabian, too?"

Again there is no money for a postal service that works, for railways, buses, for libraries, for housing, for your collapsing council, for care, for paying civil servants, for the NHS. There are billions for tech firms for a OPTIONAL ID card for British Citizens.

BBC radio news continues to be a foghorn for Farage's fraudulence.

I got hit with a rhythm stick at the office last week so I’ve hired a workplace Ian Dury lawyer.

They aren't bringing ID cards in to make people's lives easier, they are specifically bringing them in to make certain people's lives harder.

Twelve million. Fuck's sake, Andrew.

Some welcome news for Morecambe

Every Blairite in Britain to require new 'Twat Card' ID

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Is this who's in charge of Your Party's membership fees?

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

Happy Rapture Day

Me on the way to the Rapture.

It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

You know why ethnic minorities in the UK always feel second-class as if they're never safe in this country and could be asked to leave at any time? This is why:

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

What movie do you consider 'perfect'?

RIP John Stapleton. Was never one for daytime tv, but 'The Time, The Place' could be an entertaining talk show at times.

Hats off to my dad for playing us some truly great cassettes on those long car journeys: Kate Bush - Hounds of Love; Paul Simon - Hearts & Bones; Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing

Why does anyone listen to this shit hand drier cunt?

I wouldn't move to any place decked out like some loyalist estate.

So much for 'Your Party'.

Zuckerberg did one thing clever in his life, making a perving site he then pivoted into a site for your auntie to be racist on. Everything else has failed or he bought. He's not even proper evil, just an absolute dork with too much power.

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Quote with a gif you can hear

Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been axed by ABC who claim the decision is down to falling ratings instead of his repeated criticism of powerful political forces and prevailing right wing narratives. Gosh, we’re so lucky that we live in a country where private media companies would never do that..

Genuinely surprised and aghast that people still choose to watch BBC Quacking Plums.

Comedians, satirists, jesters, jokers, fools etc play a very important role in maintaining a healthy, functioning society.

stay the course Kier, you're doin' swell!

Just booked tickets for this afternoon's gig at The Dukes.

Many shocking things about the last 24 hours; but the contrast between the Labour government’s response to peaceful protest against genocide, and its non-response to violent racist protest against liberal democracy, is high on the list.

super hans was right

Not certain how obvious this is to non-Brits, but every single person pictured at far-right marches in England looks like somebody you would cross the road to avoid on a Friday night, especially if they were in a group.
