“The bullies have risen to the top.” says Stephen Fry. Yep. #bbclaurak

Every time I hear ‘Town Called Malice, it takes me back to that magnificent Billy Elliot film. #totp

For clarification- it's a Nazi salute.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Not fun geopolitical times to live through but, as history teaches us, this era will pass and better people will rise.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Great goal. All over. Back to Villa and Liverpool watch. #rmamci

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I was there

Rumpole of the Bailey on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social The humour. The performances. It holds up in current times from its era, so well.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Word of the day is ‘cumber-world’ (14th century): a person or thing that encumbers the planet.

Djed Spence. He’s terrific. Must be close to an England call-up #totmun

He’s did it again, tonight didn’t he? Adam Webster. Excelled. #bhafc

Nice work Bart, for that Route One assist for a sublime first goal tonight. #bhafc

Looking forward to the brilliant Georginio getting a call-up by France to get a full cap. It’s drawing ever closer. #bhafc

Paddy Barclay, one of the best football journalists of his generation, has died. But beyond all of that - he was a wonderfully, kind, generous, incredibly funny and fun man. Judging by all the public comments and others in various chat groups, what a wonderful mark he’s left on so many.

Still, I’m sure Boris Johnson will have plenty to say about the USA sell-out stance on Ukraine. I mean, that unequivocal “We’ll stand by you“ support to President Zelenskyy…….. #c4news

Blimey.

Gael Clichy. Excellent analysis. Should be used more. #mcirma

Again, Adam Webster called on to play his part. Turns in another assured and comfortable display. It’s customary now. #bhafc

Rather pleased that Tariq Lamptey didn’t go to Ajax and Kaoru Mitoma didn’t go to Al Nassr. #bhafc

Liz Truss is taking the moral high ground on plastic straws

A man on the train is wearing so much aftershave that every time I drink my coffee it tastes as if I am swigging his cologne - I don’t really understand perfumes, best just to smell clean I reckon
