All of the utterly insane major 'news' at the moment is best seen through the prism of #AdamCurtis films such as #Hypernormalisation Failure to do this will, alas, just render you as Just Another Silly Bastard - no matter who you are or what you have achieved.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which".

@OfficialHuey @VirginRadioUK Talking of which... don't forget Eddie Chacon. Best albums of this decade for me, and well worthy of regular inclusion on your Sunday Service.. to me, they are both a reaction and antidote to this exhausting crazy world

Everyone who voted Labour should have to pay a Fuckwit Tax to mitigate the economic damage they've caused.

Conform or be cast asunder...

I am deeply concerned by the @scott_mills story, following his sacking by @BBC. Mills was allegedly investigated by the Metropolitan Police, with a file handed to the CPS who decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. If an individual can be investigated, cleared of prosecution due to insufficient evidence, & still face professional ruin, then we are entering dangerous territory. Institutions must be very careful not to substitute due process with reputational expediency. Justice cannot operate on suspicion alone, nor can fairness be preserved if allegations—untested in a court of law—are treated as proof. We must ask ourselves: are we upholding justice, or quietly dismantling it?

@OfficialHuey Zero tolerance to it, the world is full of real music, real people and real life. No artificial anything for me. And thank you for the shout on Sunday, here it is (re)playing at the spot Lisa loaded her work everyday

You should be fed up with all this fake stuff.

@moor_facts Well it's undisputed now, and with the 'Bigger Picture' it's all clear how and why. There'll be no 'awakening' with the majority gaga...

@ChrisWBarratt That last one is a strong indicator for #Infantilisation

What A Fool Believes: AI is progress. Every conviction is safe & 'true'. Every po-faced social media accusation needs zero proof. Voting for the shill of your choice 'makes a difference'. Every story on the 'news' is true & Massively Important to know. Father Christmas is real.

@rabbitaway Monarchy doomed anyway... as is everyone else who isn't WEF 'chosen few'. Silly silly bastards applauding their own demise. Who'd have thought the death of critical thinking would become so tedious so quickly?

Indeed ! Very good point What’s the usual tirade : ‘Who Knew’ ? Another fucking expensive and useless ‘Inquiry’ ! #PrinceAndrew

@moor_facts Common sense in very short supply, alas. Nothing these imbeciles do would surprise me

Dangerous darn sarf @ChrisWBarratt ... 😂

@KHarveyProctor Starmer's rise was his reward for the role he played in weaponising law against 'the people' in this way - just as 'truthers' are allowed to flourish 'against the system' (be they an Icke or a Galloway) so long as they fail to recognise this screamingly obvious betrayal.

Following the early release of Carl Beech, I continue to be dismayed by the silence of those who played a public role in legitimising Carl Beech’s lies - including James O’Brien, @tom_watson & @Keir_Starmer. I am shocked & dismayed that no apology has ever been forthcoming from Tom Watson, who offered disingenuous & vehement support for Beech, yet was later ennobled by Sir Keir Starmer - despite Watson’s initial nomination by Jeremy Corbyn being refused by the House of Lords Appointments Commission. Nor has there been contrition from Sir Keir Starmer, who as Director of Public Prosecutions championed a policy that upended centuries of British justice by instructing prosecutors to “believe the victim”, weakening the presumption of innocence with catastrophic consequences. Nor should the role of influential broadcasters be forgotten. James O’Brien, another cheerleader for Carl Beech, was prepared to attack me publicly — not once, but twice — including on @LBC, where he falsely claimed that I had “lied egregiously” about my private life in the 1980s. It was a falsehood dressed as righteousness. Those who appoint themselves arbiters of truth might reflect on their own records before smearing others. His support for Carl Beech’s narrative, & for the wider culture that enabled it, should neither be forgotten nor excused.

@moor_facts Yesterday instead of being irritated by the 'news' bulletin/hourly intrusion, I listened to the actual words being reported.... and spent the next half hour or so howling with laughter. It's gone way beyond Through The Looking Glass 🤣🤣🤣

Quite amused when reading around to see journalists scribbling that New Labour guru, Mandelson was always getting away with things because he was ESTABLISHMENT A decade earlier they said Savile got away with stuff because HE was ESTABLISHMENT 🙄 Journalists are quite quite mad

With "society", as it were, in the midst of an orchestrated free fall and 'online social media' descent into a crappy combination of AI ads & algorithmic gaslighting.... the logical response is knocking it all on the head. "Going Underground"

Cursory glance at the many 'political' comedians/musicians/commentators on here shows all completely dazzled by media mirrors. This Is Not America. AI as police, judge, jury & executioner - when everybody who works with AI recognition knows it's a crock of shonky shit - that's ok

As far as epitaphs go... yes! I'll have 'this dude gets it' on my plaque/tombstone 👌🏻 Now do yourselves a favour and tune to Virgin Radio for some musical medicine right about now

@hattonburn @OfficialHuey @VirginRadioUK It's on Catch Up - App AND website... during the week (my work involves driving) I basically replay them thru my Bluetooth boombox at a suitably loud volune along with other choice weekend broadcasting (Vintage charts, POTP, some 6) to avoid getting my intelligence/taste insulted

@OfficialHuey @VirginRadioUK Excited to listen but it seems that the show isn’t recorded for playback later…

This dude gets it. Don’t waste your time with music shows that force the issue. The Huey Show on Sundays does it differently. 10-2 @VirginRadioUK Download the app and enjoy your life…

Thought for the weekend; Every mediocre track you hear on radio is robbing you of hearing something great ..of which there are tens of thousands that exist. You will never get time back. Ditto stations hammering the same old tracks until you end up sick of them.. @OfficialHuey

Melanie Phillips delivers a chilling diagnosis of the West's intellectual crisis: Ideology has replaced knowledge, and reason itself is under siege. Key points from her 4:37 clip: - Modern orthodoxies (multiculturalism, lifestyle equivalence, etc.) are treated as absolute moral goods. - Challenge them → you're not just wrong; you're evil, standing against human/planetary betterment. - Dissent must be silenced: no platform, no debate, no hearing. - Evidence contradicting the ideology is dismissed as lies or "not facts." - Universities—once crucibles of reason—are now engines destroying it, while claiming moral superiority. - Result: Civil discourse dies. Replaced by insult weaponized to shut people down. This isn't just about politics—it's the erosion of objective truth, evidence-based reasoning, and the ability to disagree without demonization. We're witnessing the destruction of reason itself. 4:37 clip laying bare how ideology has become inimical to rationality 👇 When ideology trumps evidence and disagreement becomes "evil," what survives of open society? Where do you see this dynamic strongest right now—in academia, media, politics, or everyday life?

@Madz_Grant @edwest 15 (maybe more) years ago I sensed the way things were going... a small group of us endeavoured to get as much as we could saved to digital files and burned on to discs especially of the BBC Four-type output.

@edwest Echoes of Henry Ford. You can have any documentary as long as it’s by David Olusoga or Lucy Worsley

Why are there so few old BBC documentaries on iPlayer? Is it a cost or rights thing?

@moor_facts Being blocked by our Plastic PM... no higher accolade! Be seeing you 👌🏻

Dancing on the head of a pin must be so exhausting.... 😷
