Digging through some old boxes and I found my Blue Jam CD. All 18 episodes of Chris Morris’s BBC Radio 1 show. Hypnotic, disquieting and sometimes nightmarish. All set to woozy, ambient and hazy music. Pretty much perfect to my ears.

Group of kids playing in the little park opposite me. They just sprang up and rode away on a mixture of bikes and scooters. Obviously I started humming the theme tune to the Red Hang Gang. And yes, I’m old.

I think the thing I find most offensive about the current labour party is their belief that white working class people - the people they’re trying and failing to represent, to the exclusion of everyone else - are as racist as they are.

Playing Warhammer is one of the most patriotic things you can do as a British person. I'd like an MP to state this in parliament. I don't even mind which faction says it.

Labour friends - when will you draw the line? Your leader is echoing the tactics of fascist strongmen and dictators, dragging your party and our country deeper into authoritarianism and towards far right future At what point do you stand up and say: enough?
