Agreed. What we saw yesterday was an attempt to kill as many Jews as possible in as short a time as possible. Nothing else.

My parents. Test Match Special. Bateman’s Beers. Vaughan Williams. Harrogate. Charles Twyhritt shirts

Slightly stingy portion for 1

I know someone called Kemi IRL. Poor woman. She had no issues until a year ago, but she really has not deserved the last 12 months

Premier League has restarted. The best thing about VAR is that it gives people some trivial to get upset about

Slightly diminish a band

The Jimi Hendrix Inexperience

This is horrible. Just disgusting and Letterman while less guilty should be ashamed too. And I am judging it by the standards of 1990s too. It was totally unacceptable even then

The Barbarism line reminded me of this guy

The markets like Rachel from Accounts, which is something her opponents should reflect upon

Budapest Pride expected to be a rallying cry against Orbán’s rollback of rights Record numbers expected at march despite Hungary’s leader saying those attending will face ‘legal consequences’

While Kneecap are serving up rubbish to the credulous at Glastonbury, there is a Pride celebration of real significance today. I salute everyone joining in on the streets of Budapest today. You are genuinely brave and please stay safe

Soon they’ll have enough for a poker game.

Well I suppose the plan is to Burn Down The House

Kitty O’Shea would have an insta of sunsets, desserts and dogs that would have never ever mention politics or the men in her life

Twitter beef between him and Captain O’Shea is what we are all here for

I think Parnell would have been good at the socials

This must have sounded like the future coming to visit. Gutted that Sly has passed. Safely in the Pantheon. Frankly amazed he made it to 82 @chartmusictotp.bsky.social

Thatcher didn’t get into arguments when she knew she would lose but was merciless when she knew she would win. See Scargill, Arthur.

I would add two things.

1. I doubt she knows the difference between a niqab and a burqa.

2. Burqas are very rarely seen in Britain. I have seen Niqabs but not often and I frequent massively more diverse places than Saffron Walden

Tbf to Thatcher she absolutely hated the Archbishop of Canterbury’s sermon at the Falklands Memorial Service but conceded that Runcie’s Military Cross and service on D-Day and liberating Belsen meant he’d earned the right to say what he wanted about warfare and reconciliation.

I think this is a relevant and in the circs hopeful point

In the last 24 hours Zia has clocked something the rest of us realised years ago. Amazing that a clearly capable man hasn’t worked it out until now but people are strange

They will. But we can act decently

News coming out of Liverpool shows the essential triviality of football. I love it so deeply but it really doesn’t matter

I remember that game. I was good at provoking civil unrest and food riots

The building in question was knocked up to a budget in the early 1980s and by private school standards it will be end of life. But by state school standards, it still does a job.

Not a zealot either way on VAT on school fees….but I do note that it hasn’t stopped my old place from emailing me telling me that they are demolishing and rebuilding a structure I remember very well front time there @samfr.bsky.social @sundersays.bsky.social ….

He didn’t get where he was then by paying scrotes like you (or listening to dilettantes like me). In all seriousness, the whole game misses him desperately

I probably asked for it while demonstrating my Maurice Lindsay impression (I was very proud of it at the time).
