@spectator He and his like are not funny because they have no respect. Disrespect is not the same as satire. Disrespect comes from a complete lack of understanding of what they're making jokes about. But let's face it, he doesn't get 'work' because he's supposed to be funny.

I giggled for the first time at Ranganathan and Frankie Boyle when their dire shows were binned by the BBC; as Patrick West wrote here at the time: ‘Satire should lampoon those who rule. Except BBC satire has for years shirked this duty. It no longer challenges the establishment – in academia, the civil service, the unelected House of Lords, the BBC itself. It’s instead been a staple of BBC satire to punch down, to mock and deride the conservative, middle-class, Brexit-inclined middle-Englander. Audiences have themselves become bored of the BBC’s repetitious, relentless belittling of ordinary Britons at the behest of a smug, self-satisfied elite.’ ✍️ Julie Burchill Article | spectator.com/article/why-mo…

Regarding recent press coverage

#taco #iran Undoubtedly fine pilots put in a horrible situation by people who have never risked anything.

@Mike_Fabricant Oh, I don't know, I think the award for most hated government in history goes to you, doesn't it? Partying while the Queen sat alone at the funeral? Or did you forget that picture? Luckily your ex-constituents didn't.

What a disgrace just now at PMQs! #Farage asks a question on Chagossians being expelled from their islands. #Starmer just went on a diatribe about #Reform and said to vote #Labour in tomorrow’s by-election. No attempt to answer the question at all.

@paulwiggins @atrupar He's not unfit for duty, he only looks that way, poor optics.

@atrupar The weaponisation of a common physiological sign is a clear example of how digital discourse can prioritise optics over medical reality. Knock it off.

@TheRealJamieKay The problem with 'self made' men is that they forget all the people who made them.

Disappointing.

MARC ALMOND WITH STARCLUSTERの2016年コラボアルバム『SILVER CITY』が2LP＆2CDのエクストラトラック入り2形態で1月に再発。普通に動画サイトなんかでも聴けるが、シンセの音色はいいけど全体にのっぺりしていて盛り上がりに欠ける印象。多分買うけど聴くかなこれ。 diskunion.net/indiealt/ct/de…

Marc Almond with Starcluster - Silver City - Pre-Order Marc Almond has personally curated this celebratory expanded re-issue of his lesser known 2016 electro-pop album. Lesser known simply because, hitherto, it has only had a limited vinyl release in Germany. ‘Silver City’, now a definitive 20 track techno-pop opus, was written and produced by Marc with celebrated cult German electronic music production duo Starcluster and is Marc Almond’s “most synth laden body of work since Soft Cell” (Electricity Club, 2016). Available in expended 2CD and 2LP formats. Pre-Order now: lexermusic.com/marc-almond @MarcAlmond @softcellhq @ElectricityClub #starcluster

@BoveFromAbove A farewell party

If Nigel Farage were drowning, what would you throw him?

Can you name a Nicolas Cage movie you like that is not The Rock, Con Air or Face Off 🤔

Would you support President 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ? YES or NO?

@pritipatel @netanyahu Well, my mother did say that you can judge someone by the friends they keep. I feel sorry for him.

A great meeting with my friend @netanyahu and discussion about how we must stand together to fight for the freedoms and values our countries are founded on. Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East and our friend and ally. We must never forget the horrors of 7 October 2023 and the UK needs to play a strong role working with Israel and our partners to defeat terrorism and antisemitism. 🇬🇧🇮🇱

@GMaisonneuves @AnnLesbyPhD So basically they named two countries after a river and then they named the river after a river. This is why people in the old days shouldn't be allowed to name things.

In your language that’s called Nigeria and it’s named after a river. Before canceling culture, it’s interesting to have some. In Latin it means « country of the Niger River. Niger comes from Touareg language « ghen n-gheren » that means River of rivers. The prononciation have been latinised in the XVth century.

I just found out this country exists and I am literally shaking & vomiting 😭🤢
