As my son once said: "For an average man, you're quite good at things." You can't buy reviews like that. Malarkey my own.

Maybe, just maybe, after Iraq any trust between politicians and the UK public was, finally, iretreviocably broken Mr @campbellclaret?

It is pretty sickening, especially after the events of last year, to see politicians on the right, and their fanzine newspapers, positively willing others to bring about their predictions of social unrest. People in politics tend either to want to solve problems or exploit them to fuel hate and anger. That is the current dividing line. And the papers who want to make it happen will be the first to condemn when it does.

Elon Musk tells Joe Rogan: “The degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public. It was a state publication. Republicans were suppressed at ten times the rate of Democrats.”

Listening to the harrowing @PatsyeStevenson interview on @r4Today it's obvious that there should be mass resignations from the @metpoliceuk Or, the policemen and women involved (and their superiors) should be sacked immediately. But you won't, will you? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Yeah cheers for the 'Threads' thing Mark Zuckerberg @finkd Thousands of British people of a certain age are now being constantly reminded of the most terrifying TV programme ever made... **Slow handclap** #threads bbc.com/culture/article/2019…

Was Threads the scariest TV show ever made?

This week marks the 35th anniversary of the premiere of the British nuclear war drama – which was dubbed “the night the country didn’t sleep”. It remains brutal but essential viewing.
