Yes. I look forward to part two. I think Mackenzie Crook has turned out to be a good writer.

I watched it all in one sitting the other night. I enjoyed it very much. It is very similar to The Detectorists in a lot of ways.

The death of a pet is, essentially, the loss of a loved family member and never gets any easier.

Yes, it was very Pythonesque.

Whenever I see Bannon’s photo I can’t help thinking that it’s not blood that’s running through his veins, it’s bin juice. He’s vile.

We should club together and send him a stapler.

I’ve played it twice since it arrived yesterday. It’s a much more complex album than the previous ones and there’s a lot to unpack. A lot darker than The Likes Of Us overall, although there are some beautiful quieter parts. It’s a grower and I agree that it’s up there with their best works.

What is worrying is knowing a large number of his base will have seen this and laughed. They really are base.

There’s a good chance they can. Is there anything they haven’t got away with?

This rancid pustule is one of the puppeteers controlling Trump.

I strongly suspected that Farage would somehow end up as the leader of the Tory Party at some stage; I just didn’t realise that this was how he would do it.

If they fall out of the sky they won’t need runways. Trump can build hotels on the reclaimed land.

Wouldn’t it just be quicker to do away with all regulations?
