If you'd approached Faber with this idea you'd have been turned down flat. Mr Leslie, with all his London media circle chums, was guaranteed pull-out quotes such as "As enthralling and astonishing as their music", Sunday Telegraph. I imagine Mark Lewisohn didn't read it and say "I didn't know that!"
Funny you should mention this. The Telegraph's Keep Cash Campaign seems to have gone very quiet in recent months. Given the average age of their readers they'll be trying to promote a revival in chequebooks next.

Hampstead and Highgate Express front page, Friday February 27, 1970: masthead and top story headline: Does a wampyr walk in Highgate?
Today we celebrate the fruits of one of the finest headlines ever to follow Betteridge’s Law, because it’s the 56th anniversary of “London’s most extended satanism flap”, when about 100 people broke into Highgate Cemetery to stake a vampire 🧵
Vickers and his social media team have written a script.
They've probably spent the whole day on it.
They've not bothered to fact check that one basic thing while seeking to deliver a 'history lesson' to the public.
They could have fact checked it in roughly 30 seconds. Shoddy and stupid
I’m shocked, stunned etc.
Meanwhile, everywhere else around the world assumes Australia has cracked it and are rushing to copy their law.
After 7 months of inaction, the Pink Un account on here has suddenly sprung into life (as has Conor Southwell's) with multiple posting today! 👏
Conscious effort to start engaging on here? Hopefully.
Let's hope it doesn't fizzle out after a few days.

Am I missing something here? I don't listen to Radio 2, but is Liza Tarbuck really "a Kenny Everett for our age", as the Times puts it?

but then PC took charge. If he can sign the players he wants, and we don't have the same scale of injuries I can see a proper promotion bid within the next couple of years. Before then April 11 could be very interesting - he'll certainly get the significance of that fixture! #ncfc
I'd rather concentrate on the one and only PC. His game management is on a different level to Lambert or Farke. No way should we have won last night, given the endless #ncfc injuries and how a well-organised Sheffield United packed the centre of the field. Lucky that it was only 1-0 at the break,
An article “More than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits” (March 17, 2025) referred to the number of “foreign nationals” receiving benefits, and gave the rate of benefit claims for various nationalities. In fact, the particular DWP data on which the article was based recorded the nationality of claimants when registering for a National Insurance number, rather than the nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, so that some claimants might have since acquired UK citizenship, and would not be foreign nationals at the time they were claiming benefits. This correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. Advertisement
Fully *one year later*, the Telegraph has been forced (by @ipso.co.uk) to admit that it was lying about foreign nationals claiming benefits.
This is what happens when newspaper resources are reduced to unfeasible levels - Newsquest and Richard Porritt take note.
Last night Chris Wilder felt he had the game won at half-time against injury-ravaged hosts but had no answer to Philippe Clement's superb game management. Any other opposition boss and he'd have won. PC has the potential, if he can get the players he wants, to take #ncfc up within a couple of years.
I mean, how much are the likes of Gabby Logan being paid?
I suppose it's asking too much of the entire BBC Sport team to have learned the correct pronunciation of Bodø/Glimt by now.
The government’s policy over all of this is in total disarray
Please do not ask staff where Dracula’s grave is as there isn’t one. Thank you.
I love that the church in Whitby needs to display this sign.
NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...
Grasping little nobodies, who think they have a god given right to literally lord it over us in perpetuity, because some ancestor bought a peerage or was the illegitimate child of a royal or won some battle in a long forgotten colonial war or lent money to some tosser who lived beyond their means.
Another right wing grifter
"Hello, Harry, are you doing anything for the next couple of months...?"
A bonkers BTL comment:
"[Farage] wrecked Reform when he sacked Rupert Lowe who was more popular. Today Restore Britain is by far the largest up and coming political force in the UK and in 3 weeks has almost as many members as the conservative party does. I predict that Lowe will become the next PM."
Fair play to one Newsquest title for being critical, shame that may well not happen in the Eastern Daily Press when Farage visits Norfolk on March 31.

Meanwhile on the Isle of Wight...
In a letter sent to the Island electorate, Mr Farage claimed 'thousands of illegal immigrants are housed in hotels in your community at your expense'.
When asked about it, he said: "I know there's a load in Portsmouth - I don't know the numbers here."

"In other words Reform UK voters look to the past while the Green voters look to the future."
Strong "Jim'll Fix It" vibes here...
The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you
Part of the Union Street facade has collapsed into the street.

Absolutely. Message-board idiots saying "What about Southampton and Port Vale?" overlook the fact that Kvistgaarden isn't a lone striker for this match. Maybe if we had Makama and Mattsson, and everything went our way we'd have had a small chance, but 2025-26 is all about avoiding the bottom three.
Onel Hernandez is through to the quarter-finals with Port Vale.
He met #NCFC fan Charlie Bussell when he was 13. Charlie is now 18 and in Port Vale'a academy. Small world.
