Breakfast tastes better with a Reform/Labour defeat.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

Reading Arthur Kahn on the Roman Republic:

“Oligarchies are always prepared to recruit leaders from outside their ranks to protect them from threats, whether external or from below.”

Putting the day off to good use. 20/20.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

London friends! Come hang out with us tomorrow and reimagine a play about how powerful men sacrifice young girls in the name of never-ending wars that preserve an unjust world order… which is in absolutely no way relevant to the world in which we live, of course.

Just watched Copycat. It was alright.

Just watched The Fog. It was alright.
