Enough beans to re-enact that scene in the film Tommy.

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

Derek Acorah, for asking him how he could supposedly 'navigate the spirit world' but not a roundabout.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

I wonder how strongly other MPs will speak out against this harassment in the street, or are they really still all primarily worried about people being rude to them on X the everything app when they talk about abuse?

Eye of the Storm - Paul Conroy - BBC Sounds War photographer Paul Conroy on Marie Colvin's death

RIP "The Boatman". I remember being absolutely floored by this:

Eye of the Storm - Paul Conroy - BBC Sounds War photographer Paul Conroy on Marie Colvin's death

If you have spare a moment today, please do listen to this:

War photographer Paul Conroy dies aged 61 as tributes paid Jamie Doran played the photographer, who has died aged 61, in the 2018 movie A Private War.

Only just learnt of his death. What a loss. RIP "The Boatman".

"after all that bloodshed, were politicians ashamed?"
"Well you might be surprised to learn there didn't used to be a bit of the general election campaign where everyone had to swear on their mother's life that they'd definitely use nuclear weapons with a big grin on their faces"

"So we learned our lessons?"
"Dear god no, we didn't. We did it all again soon after. We pretended that Iraq had weapons it didn't have. One expert was hounded to his death while trying to deny it"
"and the people who did that, are they in jail?"
"They're mental health experts now, son"

"And did that war make things better, dad?"
"No! Ha ha. Of course not. No, it made things worse. And men were deliberately incinerated alive in tanks"
"Oh no, Saddam was horrible wasn't he?"
"No, that was us"

"Dad when was the first time you were scolded for not agreeing with a war?"
"Ah son, let me tell you about the first Iraq war. We were lied to about babies being ripped out of incubators and everyone looked up Kuwait on a map. We wore Global Hypercolor t-shirts, which was the style at the time"

In the mood for some Iranian hardcore for some reason.

Keir Starmer, sensing he's close to finishing his mission of killing the labour party for at least a generation, decides to deliver one last Blairite special for old times sake

Le Dîner de Cons

Yeah, you can be my ally for a while
Until I come to bomb your child
and I’m sure there’s a continent called the Middle East
And I think I can bomb my way to peace

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Ain't that a kick in the Kieth

You just know if Reform had won the by-election Starmer/Mahmood would be announcing further crack-downs on migrants by this afternoon.

the commentary class: why does everyone hate keir starmer so much? it's a mystery. truly mind boggling.

keir starmer: the voters are all extremists!

if @lucympowell.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, and so on had any sense at all they'd now start briefing against this absolute moron.

I'm sure Matt Goodwin can still be of some use in Manchester - maybe stick him on a ledge on the cathedral?

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Not a day goes by when I don't quote #RedDwarf in some way. But despite so many to choose from, the iconic line from the show that best sums up Rob Grant's legacy is obvious

"And the moral of the story is, "Appreciate what you've got", because basically, I'm fantastic."

PROPER BRITAIN, with unnecessary fire related deaths

PROPER BRITAIN, with good old-fashioned family racism on telly

PROPER BRITAIN, with scare electricity and a three-day week

PROPER BRITAIN, with a proper British vermin epidemic

UK LADS: I've come up with a plan: trick the Facebook boomer crowd into THINKING it's the 1970s again so they're happy.
