Darth Vader is a scouser - dresses in shiny material, talks weird. Han Solo is a Manc - has a swagger and a mate with a mad haircut. Yoda is Cornish - a funny accent and mixes his words. Luke is from North London - overly confident, has an interest in incest.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

“Sorry if…” does not constitute an apology. Try “sorry I…” and go from there.

Just think about the amazing Epstein scoops the new CBS Evening News contributors will have just by interviewing each other.

As I have been saying for years now, there’s better smoked salmon (go to Secret Smokehouse near London Fields) and they also don’t do whatever the hell this is.

Just discovering that Tom Jones covered Iggy’s Lust For Life, as a duet with the Pretenders! The late 90s was a crazy time.

Hitler in his bunker. The final minute of his life. His aide walks in with a gift-wrapped present. It's a gun. Hitler smiles, sheds one tear and mouths "thank you".

The real problem here one suspects is that police/prosecutors were not used to using terrorism law, it being used so casually, and so did not realise safeguards of terrorism law have to be taken seriously.

Terrorism law is not just another branch of law - it is special, and should be treated so.

He once came in for a radio interview, by himself, and either he was very early or it was delayed. We sat and chatted for a while and I came to the same conclusion. Very nice, open chap.

If you don’t understand the historical facts around the Reichstag fire, you probably shouldn’t invoke it to justify your terrible opinions.
