The Hubris!

I'm still on season one of Cheers as my 2026 watch along.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

This feels like a very odd speech. The government is in crisis, the Labour party is on the brink of mutiny... and the Prime Minister is talking about litter-picking

Also, REFORM SAY HOW DREADFUL BRITAIN IS ABSOLUTELY CONSTANTLY! It’s their main rallying point!

‘Sure, they’re racist, but…’ [peers over glasses at the back row] ‘…you never hear them talking down Britain, do you, lads?’

This is the nettle the government must grasp. Even if they manage to keep Reform out, the poison won't stop flowing, the growing far-right won't magically deradicalise. To ignore the threat of X is cowardice and negligence.

BREAKING: New SNL UK line up revealed

The only way Labour can win the next election is by governing well.
That might not be enough, but it’s the bare minimum.
The questions to be asking about any potential new PM are “what is their agenda and can they achieve it?”
Not “do they currently poll well?”
Or “can they handle a media round?”

Still try to get back to Vice City once a year. Steam Deck helps.

So on this day when one of the oligarchs of our digitized and dystopic world is emptying one of America's greatest newsrooms of trained and committed journalists, I thought I would regale you all with a wonderful little anecdote about our world to come. It involves two of the finest...

Socialite - rich, unemployed person.
Scrounger - poor, unemployed person.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

The amazing Bobby Davro clip just popped up on YouTube where he:

- Is in stocks
- Has his trousers taken down
- Has Lionel Blair, Jim Bowen and Cheggars singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and dancing next to him

He then falls forward, face first and nearly dies.

Is like a fever dream!

A lovely clip from Thames News in 1984, heralding the Video Nasty list. Partly intended to let retailers know what they could and couldn't stock, it was also a handy checklist for horror hounds like me to swap blag tapes like footy stickers. "Got... got... NEED Cannibal Holocaust!"

I have never seen anger like this on the Labour benches in private and in public. This is the kind of territory where things can move very fast.

Infantino really is a premium waxwork piece of shit isn't he. A moral vacuum in a suit.

It would be interesting Sir, if there was a US equivalent - say somebody at Cabinet level who was actively working against their own party & manifesto commitments.

Last year my apprentice (early 20s) showed me a TikTok.

She said "You'll like this. He's a crazy old man who does stupid dances and plays Fortnite."

Reader, it was Michael Barrymore.

I asked her if she knew who that was. She didn't.

I made a cup of tea & told her to buckle up.

exactly. this is not difficult.

I would totally lean into it and get the reputation of being wise.

This could in no way backfire.

The experience of anyone working with child-aged colleagues

I am 100% convinced that one of the reasons that people appear to be much more twatty these days is because they are seeing things online that you had to be interested in history to see (ie loads of dead bodies due to war)

To say that this only affects kids till they are 18 is very unlikely

Information Commissioner launches formal investigation in X / Grok over use of people's personal data to create sexual images of children without consent. (The government will continue to post through it, no doubt.)
