Now I'm no Armando Iannucci, but I can say with some confidence that Larry & Paul are the future, ne saviours of British comedy.

Nigel Farage called out by BBC reporter for 'racist lies' about Scottish Labour leader Nigel Farage has been called out for false claims he made about Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar during a speech.

It’s what he did in Scotland earlier in the year. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/nig...

Nice analysis of how Farage works, from @andrewrawnsley.bsky.social. Farage turns up, fans some flames, chucks in a lit cigarette, then leaves blaming others for the fire.

Funny and yet horrifically true summing up. Do watch; they’re very good at what they do.

Cheers Simon. Let me know what you make of it.

Despite the horrific atrocities of the 20th century we just didn't learn. Never again wasn't a statement of fact, it was a mission. And we are failing. Fascism is on the rise again, a genocide is being openly perpetrated, and we are taking the side of the people behind it!

Some may have noticed a rising number of people from Gaza in my comments. I’ve been privately trying to give as much as I can to people there in desperate need, but I’ve honestly hit my maximum daily dollar donation limit. And the pleas for money for food keep coming in. Please help if you can.

We left the 20th Century saying we must learn the lessons of history. And yet here we are, discarding them once again.
