I’ve just finished β€œLord of the Flies” on IPlayer. It’s truly great. And as allegory for how fascism works, timely.

It is a mistake to expect coherent thought from right wing authoritarians.

I challenge the "go woke, go broke" people to provide examples of businesses that have gone woke and gone broke. Deafening silence ensues. (And what exactly was "woke" about BD?)

He’s in the wrong place if he’s looking for more billionaires to sponge off.

I got a GP appointment in 40mins as I have a chest infection, prescription for antibiotics, sent for an x-ray, no appointment necessary, 0 mins waiting time. All done in 2 hours with travel time. I'll fight anyone who denigrates the #nhs (when my chest infection has gone).

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.

It’s also the β€˜cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🀯

A girl opposite me on this train is solving her Rubik Cube against the clock over and over again. The clattering noise is driving me crackers.

Looking at some more stuff on narcissistic personality disorder.

You only have to score 5 out of 9 to be diagnosed, so 9/9 looks pretty solid.

A foretaste of the Trumpian bullshit that would occur should Farage ever gain power.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the Β£ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

China and Russia will be thinking β€œif he can do it, we can do it”. Farage is an idiot.
