I hold no brief for the man but the Enoch Powell thing is almost certainly fake. Also I thought he was pro-Indy, which doesn’t quite fit the ‘Tory’ profile many people are claiming.

I think I might be wearing the exact same model of Cutler & Gross right now.

There’s something almost admirable about the way he hasn’t ever been bothered about chasing the ‘authentic’ crowd by doing old Faces stuff or collaborations with Rick Rubin but instead has stuck to doing stuff for the mums (grannies now).

We’ll have misery face Neil Young doing earnest ten minute guitar solos and deep cuts from his seminal albums, then Rod doing Some Guys Have All the Luck and We Are Sailing and it is obvious which people will enjoy more.

M&S do a nice pineapple and grapefruit. Fanta have got in on the act as well.

Every BBC report this week has been about whether the government will lose a vote and what that means for the PM. The actual people affected have barely had a look in. Which was the main problem with all the brexit coverage but clearly we’ve learned nothing.

I’ll give it a listen. I heard Benedict Evans recently say one of the issues with AI is Silicon Valley people are convinced all other jobs are easy.

I too find the respect afforded to David Goodhart baffling. That is something we agree on.

Silly and indeed stupid. When the Al Qaeda he told us don’t exist blew up London transport that really should have been the last we heard of him.

I did delete it but I’m going to say it again as you are being a little unreasonable. ‘from what I have seen the massive attack gig involved Adam Curtis footage and slogans about the great reset and the wuhan lab leak’. Which nobody is disputing.

I didn’t lie. I just lacked the context others read into the performance. Probably should delete it though.

It didn’t seem very Netflix - more Sunday night ITV. Which is not a bad thing really.

I haven’t tuned in for a while hike but the station’s obsessive belief that the Selecter were an important part of musical history continues to baffle me.

The only time I ever saw the man himself was at a test match at Headingley, where they got him on the pitch to judge the best fancy dress costumes (the winners were dressed as him). As he walked on someone shouted ‘don’t let him near the kids’ and everyone laughed. What a country.
