Just got WhatsApp’d this…

Why are Amnesty International more afraid of Rowling than they were of Pinochet?

See now this, this is an article we should be dunking on. Sure of course you can build cheaper and faster if you get rid of safety mandates and climate sustainability goals! Those houses will be unfit for purpose literally immediately, but they’ll be built!

It’s our special day today!

Ofwat confirms £30.5m redress package for South East Water after repeated failures 'Redress' isn't penalty on company, execs. It is mainly investment, remedial action that the company should have taken. The forced spend will boost shareholder value. Without penalties, why would companies behave?

Remember how giving these racist pricks a referendum would shut them up. Yeah, you don't pacify the far right.

So I’m just catching up with the story of how Brigadier General Clint Barnes cowered in a bunker and left his soldiers to die in the ensuing fire from the early Iranian strike on US troops in Kuwait while others ran back into the smoke to look for wounded. archive.ph/2026.07.12-1...

Is that because, other than Milton Jones, there was no comedy actually scheduled?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

“Verify your age” The penny was big.

It is *amazing* how many journalists don't realise contempt activates on arrest. But yes: ouch.

this news is no way to start the day, what a brilliant actor & all-round dude www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

This is crazy. Peter Thiel’s spy tech Palantir is embedding itself in the British state, and makes hundreds of millions from Government contracts in health, policing and defence, but pays barely any taxes

I fucking hate being a historian at times like this, & having to check info in Twitter. Far right extremist Widdecombe is murdered. Far right extremist Farage leverages her death into her being the Horst Wessel of the Home Counties. They deserve each other in life & death.

What history will really remember about “America 250”: Masked, heavily-armed paramilitary death squads still on the streets. (14/n)

And that was the Germolene Flaps with the song that launched them into stardom, Chicken Soup. Later on we'll be hearing from the Tray Tables live album,Slinkies & Drop Bears and chatting to The Real Housewives of Wherever about working with Eleanor Bron on their new single, Ermintrude's Stupid Hat.

Old enough to remember the exact same people going after Amnesty International for supporting Sex Worker rights. There is only a very select group of people they think should have rights. Everyone else is fodder for their machine. Amnesty generate detailed evidence reports, so must be gotten rid of

This quote from the writer and director explains why an otherwise ridiculous premise still hits: “The only politics in it were to say the only war that mankind couldn't fight was God, was the elements and the only way to defeat that was if mankind got together to fight a common enemy, the elements.

“You, boy! Get us some fucking chicken”

Photographer Marc Davenant has spent the last few years photographing protests across the UK as news laws cracked down on activism.

Police are looking for a hard-boiled criminal.

It’s been said many times before but I’ll say it again: every person who gets up on their platform about ‘the falling birthrate’ always means ‘the white birthrate’

When we were digitising tapes before we moved I found one with these Seasons idents. The clocks said they were from July, 2004. I guess copies were sent to Cardiff for late opt-backs.

Very sad news to report this afternoon. Broadcaster Dermot Murnaghan has died aged 68.

Just had the Labour councillor refusing to answer which toilets trans women should use when they're out because 'that's set at the national level'. He was quick enough to give an opinion on the two-child cap, and that was set at a national level, too. #ISeeYou #TransWomenAreWomen

Someone asked me today if the heatwave was making me rethink my plans to stay in London forever. When I had stopped laughing I got on my bike and rode home through beautiful parks full of beautiful people enjoying the hell out of the city ❤️

Count Binface wants water bosses to swim in rivers to prove they’re clean. He could win a by-election on that policy alone.

Terry-Thomas (Thomas Terry Hoar Stevens) was born on July 10, 1911.
