Watch The Finishing Line - BFI Player In this surrealist short, John Krish and Michael Gilmour tell a perilous tale at the railway station. Mind the gap - this is going to get scary.

Just watched it again, probably for the first time since 1977. I had vague memories of the tunnel walk but not the rest of it

Never really understood why anyone would think guests would. Surely everyone knows that hangers breed like rabbits and take over the house?

haven't heard They Shoot Horses Don't They? for maybe 30 years. Still recognised it from the first bar or so. It's a brilliant (if utterly depressing) song. #ptop

I can't even begin to imagine why a British Muslim of South Asian heritage has decided that Reform is not the party for him.

Evening. Here for the second hour of #ptop

In Berlin it's honesty based but......if you are caught fare dodging in one of the on train checks, they come down on you like the proverbial ton of bricks. I have seen people caught and hauled off trains. I wouldn't recommend trying it!

In my first job, in accountancy at a large local authority we had a mainframe running ICL LAFIS, green screen dumb terminals and a solitary Commodore Pet with a Visicalc spreadsheet which no one knew how to use so it gathered dust on too of a cupboard. Welcome to 1984!

I am sure we were taught all about working from home using Microsoft Teams back in 1978.....or is my memory playing tricks?

Image from the Financial Times, placing Keir Starmer next to Enoch Powell.

Starmer's language was deplorable.

It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.

But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

Dancing to Farage's tune didn't help the Tories so it is not clear why Labour think it will help them. Can anyone help with this?
