The Labour right are some of the very worst people in politics. Without principle, actually criminal.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Wow, I was thinking about that "git" line just the other day.

Prior to their next home game, I should say . . .!

Between 1971 and 1973 Ringo Starr had four top 5 singles in the UK & US: "It Don't Come Easy", "Back Off Boogaloo" "Photograph", and "You're Sixteen". By the end of 1973 Ringo was the most chart successful ex-Beatle. #RingoStarr

He was, Chris. And after he died, the club projected an image of him by way of tribute at the ground, prior to his next home game.

Chart Music #74 - Neil | Chart Music: the Top Of The Pops Podcast Our mate Neil Kulkarni died in January. This episode is dedicated to him.

Neil died two years ago. My colleague, my friend. Here is the episode we never wanted to make. He was full of rage, joy, eloquence, a one off. Rage in piece, Neil. shows.acast.com/chartmusic/e...

This will be wonderful, I assure you. If you can't attend, maybe buy a ticket so that an Iranian asylum seeker can do so? I have met asylum seekers and any one of them is worth many tonnes of Farages, Oakeshotts. cptheatre.co.uk/whatson/678-...

This would definitely have been me. Not that I necessarily endorse the anti-Birdland sentiments in my wiser years, or even have the faintest memory of what I wrote, or having written it.

How soon before this cunt gets carried and lowered into a wheelbarrow and transported to what in a Simpsons cartoon would be signposted as the Nut House? Surely even the Sinister Interests in our society must realise the danger he imposes to Sinister Interests, as well as our own?

Free Iran.
Free Palestine.
Free Ukraine.
It's not hard.

Sad to hear of the death of Kenny Morris, drummer on Siouxsie And The Banshees' first two albums. His style, mostly toms with minimal cymbal or snare, was hugely influential in the post-punk era. It's showcased vividly on this German TV performance of Mittageisen. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNnY...

Letter from Charles Schulz to a fan. 1970. Much missed, unlike Scott Adams.

‘Cancel your tickets’: Calls grow to boycott US-hosted FIFA World Cup over Trump admin With the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to be hosted in the United States this summer, calls have grown for a global boycott and ticket cancellations in protest of the Trump administration and its increasing...

This could be the biggest statement worldwide to date. if there were empty stadiums nationwide in America because Trump is the Antichrist & everyone believes it. Would he discount tickets with a going out of business "blowout" sale.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It's so pass-agg isn't it? Well, I worked for The Guardian on various things for about 20 years, including a weekly stint doing TV reviews, rates never going up year by year, a gig from which, like a few others, I was dumped with a week's notice. I'll read you for free.

Yes - I think ITV was considered to be for the working classes, the BBC for the lower middle classes and “upward”. Definitely a thing in our household.

You should check out the depths of my disdain for Donald Trump, Mail. Do I deserve to be shot in the face? You get sicker and sicker daily.

there are *so many* big number accounts on twitter saying "we can't leave, we built a community here and-" sorry pal, you're anchoring smaller accounts to a site which could deposit illegal imagery directly into their timeline. the only sensible move is to tell them to leave, and you with it

I get this! I sometimes feel the ideal thing would be for people to buy my books but not to read them. (Which I am sure happens frequently)

England has its best chance of winning the World Cup since 1970 but I hope it is boycotted by every nation with cojones - Brazil, Spain, Italy, France. Don't expect England to boycott it because our PM's a pathetic lickspittle but I hope at least it's rendered devoid of meaning as a tournament.

I had to stop reading this midway through, it was too depressing. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I was such a Sunderland fan this evening for obvious reasons but loved the relentlessly encouraging roar of the fans, how that galvanised the team in every way - solidity, forays upfield, defensive blocking. City might have scored but so might have Sunderland. And great to see Xhaka so pivotal.

Wishing you so very well tonight!

One of the funniest football clips I've ever seen. It's 1-0 to Portsmouth, we're in injury time but Charlton, who are undefeated at Pompey in decades, have a corner.

Wrote the following on Facebook where I do most of my stuff tbh. Holds here. I think.

Happy 2026 everybody. Stay around, my friends. Partake of the collective light and not the individual darkness.

Haha no moral judgment - they just seem gross and willy-like.

Pigs in blankets are particularly disgusting to me as a non-meat eater since 1984.
