Martin Campbell

@antinousgaygod.bsky.social I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am a different Martin Campbell and not the author of The Love God and Queen Julius Caesar.

Compare Robert Jenrick's comment about not seeing another white face in Handsworth with the routine experience of people of colour in rural English communities.

Always consider the counterfactual. Can you name a more openly corrupt president in American history? If not, then the statement is true.

If only someone could build a quick second railway line from Manchester to London and give it a catchy name to indicate this. Seems like such a missed opportunity.

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Incendiary Munitions Strike Gaza-bound Flotilla Two Nights in a Row - bellingcat On September 8 and 9, two vessels of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) were attacked outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. Bellingcat analysed footage and images from both incidents. ...

The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

As if to troll us, the north-west passage on the Barbican Estate is named Frobisher Crescent after Martin Frobisher, who failed to find The North-West Passage despite three attempts.

ADHD Foundation Closure - ADHD Foundation

Very sad to hear about the insolvency of the ADHD Foundation. What they have done in the last 20 years to raise awareness and understanding of ADHD in the UK has been incredible. #ADHD #Neurodiversity

'I never thought leopards would eat MY face covering,' sobs chairman of the Leopards Eating People's Face Coverings Party.

This is what happens when someone appeases barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more victims. Another tragic night in Ukraine.

The far right rising Ahead of a historic German election, the AfD is courting the global right – and threatening to upend European politics.

As Germans head for the polls today, the stakes could not be higher for Germany‘s future and Europe.

My in-depth analysis on Merz‘ huge mistakes, but also some hope that the centre will get its act together in light of what happened since Munich.

Not so much a grand coalition as a Stendhal "Le Rouge et le Noir" coalition.

I'm presuming some sort of Germanic dish made with apple and potato, but what makes it extremely powerful?

It's hard to see how Sir Sadiq could be seen as a failure compared to Baron Bailey of Paddington.

In Dutch, nieuw and oud are antonyms, but nieuwjaarsavond and oudejaarsavond are synonyms.

For Johnson to casually conflate autism with narcissistic and antisocial personality disorder is bad enough, but for a mainstream media outlet to indulge this self-pity without correction is worse.

Absolutely this. So many of the city centre bike stands have those up-and-down front wheel holders which are often broken, and just get in the way as well as looking tatty. Simple Sheffield stands, securely grounded, do a much better job.

I think it's time #Cambridge we talk about the over-engineered & exclusionary bike racks in the city centre.

They're ugly, often broken & really difficult for a lot of bikes outside a small number of designs.

Sheffield stands are simple & just better.

Keep it simple!

I had never heard of VITAM-R until today, despite living in Germany and liking Marmite.

Dear Jeff Bezos: The ‘Hard Truth’ Is That Cowardice Like Yours Is Why People Don’t Trust The Media Hey Jeff, Since I know you’ll never actually read this, I figured the best way to set this up as an open letter. One that you should read, but never will. It appears that your stupendously cowardly…

An open letter to Jeff Bezos (that he'll never read): It's you dude. You're the reason why people don't trust the media.
