A grand afternoon. I managed to get a few words in edgeways (about The Dubliners, My Bloody Valentine, Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, Lankum, The Halliard, the Grehan Sisters etc). Really looking forward to the four-hour podcast!!! (Nb: @learnandsing.bsky.social is a tall fella; I haven't suddenly shrunk!)

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Trump could never in a billion years hold a cabinet position — yet somehow the most unqualified, uneducated, narcissistic, adjudicated, rapist, and 34x convicted felon was elected president.

Putin “loved Brexit, cheers on the far right in Europe and backed Trump because he wants to see the crumbling of the western bloc that has stood firm against him. For a US president to follow that script….is a huge win for the Kremlin” Trump-the traitorous patsy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

No shock whatsoever to see trainee leper Steve Bannon try and out-Nazi Elon Musk at yesterday’s big Far Right gangbang at CPAC Worth noting that Bannon is cited by cloth-headed galloping political embarrassment Liz Truss as one of her heroes and supposed saviour of Western civilisation

NOT SATIRE: Liz Truss is starting her own media empire. Lettuce pray for her investors. "It's only by telling people the truth in the UK, in Europe, in the Anglosphere, in America, that we will turn our backs on the war's west against itself." Gibberish. ~AA

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Farage and Truss speaking from the same CPAC stage where Nazi salutes are given…? No words… for British politicians to spout their tripe, denigrating our country like this is extraordinary. Not seen since Haw Haw…

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Badenoch, whose party hacked 4% off our GDP, decimating public services, let water companies pour shit into our rivers, presided over one of the highest Covid death tolls in the world, divided the people of this country in two, shafted Northern Ireland…says the Lib Dems would destroy the country 🙄

Trump doesn’t give a shit about peace just plundering the natural resources of bombed, raped and pillaged lands. He’s a common thief stealing from corpses in the wreckage whilst siding with the perpetrator and there’s not enough words in the English language to describe how much I hate the bastard.
