Wow. Talk about subtle ... not.
The BBC just remade Lord of the Flies — the story that taught generations humans are fundamentally savage.
But when it ACTUALLY happened in real life? Six boys shipwrecked for over a year built a functioning society.
Superb. Ace response from Bedford Borough Council.
Brilliant. Who knew he was so grumpy?
Read it the same way. At least they're being accurate!
I read this exactly the same way. At least it's accurate.
This is very good - and should not be surprising, but given how the media and politicians talk it is. Kids are better at navigating their online experiences than adults give them credit for.
(And the contrast between Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue is something my students have told me about)
Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.
Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”
This an excellent resource!
What a remarkable woman.
Gutted to miss Iron Maiden in Birmingham on June 21st - hope someone can enjoy these 3 tickets! secure.ticketmaster.co.uk/rs/23006130C...
Worse than Glastonbury. 40 minute wait. No tests available.
DVSA banished the bots but have failed to fix the system so now it's worse. They should have bought a bot to fix it!
Screen grab of driving test booking wait page with 17000 people in a queue at 6:20am
This is insanity. In a queue of 17,000+ people to book a UK driving test at 6:20am! For a test in November. Which will have disappeared by the time I reach the front. Just like booking Glastonbury tickets.
Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins
TANK vs TESLA
"We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again"
- WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank
She's on Substack now philippaperry.substack.com Doesn't help your Sunday Observer experience though ...
And it did! Thanks for the recommendation.
Quite brilliant
What a woman!
Lovely words from Simon Ostrovsky.
I spoke with him for my first documentary about #Ukraine and we appeared on a round-table panel event in #Kyiv too.
His reporting was superb covering the initial 2014 invasion by #Russia.
So glad you're on Bluesky - I get my smiles back!
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

Love this
Always watch you - brilliant programmes. But you only run the polls on X, which is too toxic to go on. Please run them on Bluesky. Ditch X, or at least duplicate.
Be more Brazil.
On the other hand all kudos to @carolinelucas.bsky.social for calling it out. Just because Trump won the presidency doesn't mean his lies shouldn't be called out.
Newsnight and @faisalislam.bsky.social has infuriated me. Shut the Palantir man down when he spouts utter garbage and falsehoods about @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social. Bring back @vicderbyshire.bsky.social. I'm sorry. Sort out this pandering rubbish.
This is a must listen. Powerful, moving, emotional and puts the record straight.
Just made these - so delicious and so easy. Difficulty is keeping hands off till this evening. Happy New Year!
