When I suggested that Shamima Begum had been radicalised in articles for @bylinetimes.bsky.social and that she was our responsibility back in 2019/20 I was called a traitor and invited to go and live in Syria. How has Nigel Farage suddenly changed his mind? Integrity or the Trump mind virus?

Just seen that Eric Morecambe's carpet cleaner has gone for £200. I wouldn't have it for free. What's the fucking point? Are you going to use it or is it going to be on a pedestal in the living room? Telling guests "I own Eric Morecambe's Bex Bissell. It's my pension."

Staggeringly misleading & irresponsible article by Express online. Neither I nor my site've ever said that. It's a perversion of our "earn under £35k & it's worth checking a benefits calc to see if you're missing out on owt" into dangerous, trite clickbait.

Saw Ken Russell's The Devils for the first time last night, on the big screen. Derek Jarman's sets are fantastic - all the white tiling, based on the "rape in a public toilet" aesthetic. Very similar to the current trend for clinical kitchens that resemble post mortem rooms. I loved it.

Poor sad Victorian little urchin, look at the poverty, the sadness, the hopelessness... Oh no wait, it's just me, the happy little hippie child, back in the 1970s. Yep, fake history. But what we see when we watch old photos sometimes says more about us than the actual picture.

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. She never once raised the issue of grooming gangs or met any survivors. But now she implies that Labour MPs are complicit, refuses to defend Jess Phillips and hopes to wreck the child safety bill. All to please Musk. Utterly… unforgivably detestable.
