A lot of pro-billionaire talk from the yanks because of ted turner

Is there any point of going on GB News to argue against these dickheads? Other than narcissism...

Same parents who wouldn't let me Jack Charlton take me and my brother with him and the Irish squad to watch Scotland play Malta when we were on holiday in Malta.

Parents making me wear a tie to go to the pantomime ffs.

Picture of me and my little brother meeting Nick Berry at the pantomime in Hastings.

Zack Polanski’s view is pretty much that the Green Party should double down on free movement with the EU while changing its existing policy to become more restrictionist towards migrants from outside the EU. I’m not really sure this is woke.

This was Britain's 9/11

So jealous of the writer who, while profiling Linda McMahon for The New Yorker, got to tell Werner Herzog that he had been watching Vince’s real family in the ring all those years ago. Then when Werner replies with this you KNOW he went, yeah that’s definitely going in the story.

Reading the interview with Damiani in the booklet for the @FilmsRadiance release of Confessions of a Police Captain. Really worth reading. Damiani always understood the importance of a systemic critique.

Reading the book that comes with the amazing @FilmsRadiance Damiani Damiani - Franco Nero mafia box set. Damiani really was a legend:

James Melville is a grifter of Jackson Hinkle levels.

Today’s the 30th anniversary of RATM’S um, ‘memorable’ performance on SNL. There was a fight onstage between our crew and SNL stage hands moments before our performance, wrestling over some upside down American flags which adorned our amps. Timmy C then attacked host/billionarie/presidential candidate Steve Forbes’ family in the dressing room with a wadded up flag. Secret Service flooded the hallways. SNL cut (censored?) our second song and kicked us out onto the sidewalk. Evil Empire entered the Billboard Album Chart at #1.
