@BrutalMindset Yep. Put your mates down the pub first and second and see how that works out

2- Clingy, and attached. Women hate clingy men to the point that they can sense it from afar, and that's what repels them. Women adore men who don't put them first or second.

@peterhook @MancAcademy @Buzzcocks @pinkdotlive What about bad lieutenant?

50 years on from the Sex Pistols show that inspired me to become a musician, we will perform a career-spanning, retrospective set at @MancAcademy on 4th June 2026. Drawing from Warsaw, Joy Division, New Order, Revenge, Monaco, Freebass & more - with special guests @Buzzcocks.

@TheBlackDog Pure electro

Time for a break in the studio

@MeatOneVegBlog What flavour? Bread type? Mayo or butter? Condiments? I might be a nerd

Dad came over to do some bits around the house. Took Dad for a pint. Had crisp sandwich for lunch. A rather lovely start to the day.

@RobertJenrick Just what the car boot sale needed, one more tool

Last Sunday I headed to Hounslow car boot sale after I received a tip-off it had become a carnival of criminality. And it was a parable of lawless Britain: Thousands of tools being sold at rock-bottom prices. The police nowhere to be seen. Many tools still had the names of tradesmen etched into them. Sellers wore balaclavas. Nobody could explain where they got their tools from or how they could sell them so cheaply and make a profit. You didn’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out they were selling stolen tools. When I put that charge to one particularly aggressive seller, he boasted he’d been doing this for 22 years, and that the police wouldn’t get him. Meanwhile, the public are being told that it’s all rosy. That they’ve never had it better. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) shows crime is down over the last 30 years so you should, in fact, count your lucky stars. That’s cold comfort to the victims of crime, who are statistically far less likely to have their crime solved. According to Home Office data, only six per cent of victim-based crime resulted in a charge last year. So, yes, reports of domestic burglary may be down – but in half of the country, not a single burglary has been solved in the past three years. In more than 160 parts of London, the Met Police failed to solve a single neighbourhood crime over the same period. For some crimes, the police have stopped bothering altogether. Two months ago, the police announced they won’t investigate bike thefts at train stations if the bike has been left for more than two hours. It’s effectively waving the white flag to thieves. And the headline fall doesn’t provide the full picture. The CSEW surveys residents from statistical areas which don’t map directly onto cities or towns, meaning that it undercounts crime “hotspots”. Remarkably, the survey doesn’t record crime against businesses. So it also undercounts crimes like shoplifting, which quite clearly is out of control. Such is the scale of the problem, many shopkeepers have been forced to retreat behind glass screens. Security officers in supermarkets have now been reduced to urban scarecrows, physically and legally unable to restrain people. A shop worker in my constituency was recently given a written warning by his employer for rugby-tackling a thief who’d walked out of the store with an armful of clothes. It’s a complete inversion of the way things should be. Where once shoplifters would snoop around, they now brazenly swipe products off the shelves and waltz out. But in any case, the survey actually shows crime is rising again, particularly for crimes that tend to happen randomly between law-abiding citizens and criminals. Snatch theft, for instance, rose a whopping 153 per cent in 2024. Oxford Street now has blue lines behind which one is advised to walk if you don’t want your mobile phone stolen by a passing bike-riding thief. It’s become so bad that Australia, New Zealand, France and even Mexico are warning their citizens before they travel to Britain. Our international reputation is taking a hammering. The complacency with which some dismiss this so-called “petty crime” will soon come to a head. Under the Government’s sentencing plans up to 45,000 criminals that currently would be sent to jail will now walk free. Thousands more will get discounts, free to offend again after serving as little as a third of their sentence. Or, of course, they could just get let out accidentally altogether. We can close legislative gaps, but in almost every case the law isn’t the problem – it’s enforcement. Criminals need to know that if they are going to break the law, they’ll face consequences – that they’ll be charged and sent to prison. But right now, like those selling stolen tools in plain sight at the car boot sale last Sunday morning, they’ll laugh in your face and carry on regardless.

@jwalkermobile I would miss the flight on purpose. Had my first Pontet Canet (2016) a few months ago and it was pretty much my idea of perfection

No Red Burgs today in the lounge, but a few Bordeaux’s

Nice selection of whites today in the Emirates lounge… not a hard guess which one I started with….

@jwalkermobile Impressed by the amount of age on this (for inflight wine). This is not one of those Riojas that gets released with 10 years plus already on the scorecard. Anyway love Muga. Incredible value

Next stop Barcelona, enjoying the 2005 Torre Muga inflight. Torre Muga is composed of 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano. Any fans of Spanish wines?

@jwalkermobile No. Generally too sweet. Double down on the starters

Would you try Indian desserts?

@jwalkermobile Lived in the region for a while and temp cycling with low humidity from the air con was a cork killer. A lot of oxidised wine. Good Oz with screwtops and long Spanish corks became a go to. Hopefully better now

The wine shop near baggage claim has a huge selection of Napa Cults, DRC and First Growths on display, but it’s this Tig that caught me eye!

@missbarbell @KatiesDisorder Turns out if you want to see the best of New Order, probably best to not see New Order....

Peter Hook & The Light at the HMV Empire, Coventry were on top form tonight. Shadowplay was the best I've ever seen them play it. The opening set of Get Ready was great, but the selection of JD & NO tracks for the second was perfect. Great to catchup with @KatiesDisorder too 😎

@jwalkermobile Can't afford Shake Shack. Have to slum it at my local one Michelin star. (I am being only slightly tongue in cheek)

Love this. You?

@mark_hoath @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP this post dated well. FTSE 100 finished up on the day

@Neccccy Doesnt he live in Dubai?

Would you be happier and feel safer if Ant Middleton was the Mayor of London?

@Teddington_Town A bit daft LBRUT. Gives the Right wing press lots of ammunition to demonise our decent liberal MPs and our probably our Mayor as well.

@TheWhiteHorsePu Give the country Friday afternoon off and then make it mandatory to go for a pint

Hello, Gary Usher here… The government have proposed an idea to “help” the hospitality industry by allowing longer opening hours. I feel it’s my duty to explain like others have, how insulting this is. There’s not a single operator I know that wants to open longer. The opposite. We can’t afford to open because costs have risen so much. The impact of NIC hikes among a multitude of other factors have made it impossible to even break even each week & month. We host a very successful guest chef series here to combat the financial crisis that’s closing so many pubs and restaurants but we are still only just getting by. Many have been banging the drum since the pandemic & now you will all know of places that have closed. Spread the word please, tell your MP, support your local places (if you can) & help us to save what’s left of the British hospitality sector. Thanks for reading
