Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism”
Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?”

Falsehoods, war, #Starmer , #Tories #Reform, #Greens & general dissatisfaction across the #UK. @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social casts his beady eyes across the whole spectrum.

Exterior view of St Andrews Hall, Norwich.
Hosting music since 1788, St Andrew’s Hall turns a new page on 19 March. With César Franck, Maurice Duruflé, a full orchestra & choir — and even a surprise bonus piece — Norwich’s musical heart beats again.

So that’s now three Brits — Ghislaine Maxwell, Former Prince known as Andrew, Peter Mandelson — arrested as a result of Jeffery Epstein.
Come US. You bang on about habeas corpus, warrantless searches, Magna Carta and the rule of law
Have you really surrendered to King Donald?

I had measles as a 2 year old, ended up in hospital with pneumonia & scarlet fever. I cannot understand why parents will not vaccinate their kids. I don't want anyone to undergo my family's suffering. VACCINATE- it's free.
