Midlife phonographer. Putting the needle to the record when the drum breaks go like this. Music, NUFC, complaints.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Utter bollocks from Craig McKinlay on renewable energy, EVs, batteries and windfarms. No sign of fact checking whatsoever.

The short clip has gone viral with people making out it shows something very different

For 3 days a group of Americans came and stood near a Mosque and called Muslims sinful, criminals full of anger and hatred

And the worst that happened was some Muslims asked the police why that was allowedπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

I know it's ridiculous to have any hope in this world, but I hope Andrew squeals like a pig and dobs everyone else in it.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Oh no, terrible news. Simon Harris was absolutely critical to the early development of UK hip-hop. Musician, DJ, producer and label boss at THE essential late 80s UK label Music of Life. Fly high Simon.

Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business β€˜success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these β€˜self made tycoons’)

To clarify, for the man who put the 'rat' in Ratcliffe, we are not 'colonized' by immigrants. But we have been colonized by c***s #PayYourTax
