Turin is now my favourite Italian city. Big enough to be interesting; small enough to walk. Great public transport, phenomenal street scene (especially at night) and an abundance of culture.

Puglia era due anni fa e probabilmente questa ottobre anche. Sicilia era dieci anni fa.

Oh I’m in Genoa now and Milano last week. This is my… 20th trip to Italy. Quindi sono abbastanza sicuro di conoscere le usanze sulle mance. Ma grazie.

Any places to visit/eat?

Turin/Torino tomorrow. Any tips, travellers/Italians?

If you mean asylum seekers… they’re not illegal.

You really need to be quiet.

Where am I?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social just promised on the radio that later ‘we will look at pornography’!

Eat, fuck, make art.

I haven’t but then, I shouldn’t need to. The algorithm should do that. Or at least offer to enable that.

Bluesky is proper toilet. The algo doesn’t push interactions. Nothing happens for weeks. It’s the opposite of social media. New name suggestion: hermits united.

Antisemites!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you do demonise one group, James. A caller did it earlier and you offered no pushback.

Men.

“Age old problem.”

Misandry is your blind spot.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

Oh dear.

Mere exposure doesn’t mean they buy into old ranty man racist politics.

Labour still the party of the young, by quite a margin, then Green and Reform, then LibDems. The Tories have about 5% support.

Apart from the Copenhagen criteria, you mean?

Britons are more regular swearers than Australians or Americans, but what are their top swear words?

Ah Simon Jenkins - always wrong.

And then for everyone else?

@bma.org.uk Who the fuck is running your comms at the moment? Their ‘reverse 14 years of pay cuts in a year’ message is absurd, untenable and politically impossible. Public support will collapse completely.

Ah. The free speech people.

Pensioners? What? You just repeat lazy tropes.

You’re on the idiot left aren’t you? Corbyn supporter?

So your post was incorrect.
Why did you write it? To what end?

Chris Mason: Reform's momentum is making the political weather

‘Party given endless airtime and never held to account influencing politics,’ says member of the media who gives that party endless airtime and never holds them to account

Much of that hasn’t actually happened. So which party would you have preferred in power?
