A bit like your mobile library the bbc won’t always be there if you don’t pay your share. But hey Netflix.
America might have stopped being the world's policeman, but it's now the world's drunk – staggering around wildly at closing time, taking a swing at whoever comes near.
Getting ready to jump over the moon!
This does not surprise me. Suspect corruption is still rife. Remember those Dyson ventilators?
I specifically request they refuse to bring her back.
Paywall is off this one until 5pm today...
I’m quite shocked that the previous government ran down the armed forces over the 14!! years they were in power. Where did the money go? It certainly didn’t go to people who needed it.
Once again we are watching Face the Music on bbc4 -the one with all the dead ☠️ people
Done 6 months gardening in 2 hours of sunshine today. Basically shoving sprouting bulbs into pots. That’ll do.
I know that was a rhetorical question. Ditto daffodils.
He can press my shirts with that irony
Me in December 1995 in my parents’ living room in Nottinghamshire with my nan, wearing some cheap slippers and a t-shirt advertising Kim Deal’s lo-fi post-Breeders band The Amps. Yes, my legs are this long, but they are balanced out by the fact that my torso measures only 1.7 inches from top to bottom.
I worked fucking hard on the writing of this piece & just as hard on the editing but I feel it was worth it. It’s about my life in 1995, my recent autoimmune diagnosis, transport, time, a great Norwegian film and many other things. I hope 2 or 3 of you might read it: www.tom-cox.com/an-in-depth-...
Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.
It's got to hurt
I’m quite happy that voters jumped to the left ( let’s do the time warp again 🎶
Dirty Dancing!
Presumably with a water melon
The student loans system is scandalous. Labour have made it worse and allowed the Tories (who built it) an opening because it's the same old story: Lab forgets who its voters are. It doesn't like the coalition it has and hankers for another.
New substack from me.

Mine too and I shared it with my sister!
Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️
The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...
So, for reasons best known to its useless AI mods, Facebook has deleted the Obverse Books page, and removed all 1000+ followers. We've created a new page, so if you're on FB and want to keep up with Obverse news there, rather than here, this is the new link:

It is absolute and utter neglect to let this come this close to the wire just as the US has let most of its overseas broadcasting shutter.
I came across a thread full of Brits supporting Donald Trump in his lawsuit against the BBC. Essentially, they want to see it destroyed because they don't like its coverage of domestic politics. So, I asked Deepseek for a list of every service that the BBC provides. This is why I pay my licence fee.
"Fine, so far so hoopy."
This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Please do keep sharing!

That says it all.
