As a general comment on pretty much everything right now, here’s Oswald Mosley getting bricked in Manchester as he made a provocative, controversial gesture that was unambiguously a fascist salute because he was a fucking fascist. #fuckfascism

WOOP WOOP... The Trumpton Trilogy (along with other classic UK kids' TV shows from my era) are now all free to watch on Amazon Prime Relive the joy of a pissed Windy Miller being looked after by young children like you did when you were 5. This is not a drill! @scarredforlife.bsky.social

This is absolutely sublime. Drop what you're doing and give it a listen!

So Trump has issued orders to use Guantanamo as a sort of “camp” to “concentrate” migrants. Is there a name for a camp where a certain population is concentrated?

Look, I am just a small town scholar of mass murder, so let me ask a simple, naive question: And then what?

How did the Jehovah’s Witness know I was a Manchester United fan?

It takes until a Palestinian politician quoted in the 20th paragraph of this story before this "remarkable proposal" is accurately described as ethnic cleansing

I’m getting very strong Crimea vibes from this.

Oooof.

Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin - right now! In cooperation with @ledbydonkeys.org

I see the mask is off completely now

Death Starry Night

No UK PM has ever attended a US presidential inauguration. One reason the ill informed might be insisting otherwise is Musk's Grok... which is wrong.

Idolizing a billionaire is like believing the stripper actually likes you.

Heard about this last week at lunch with a (female) writer friend. Still a horrendous read. Whatever you think of him as an artist, what a piece of shit as a person. When multiple women come forward with the same story it’s game over. All fucked-up abusers should be held to account.

Sublime

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

Things that are now woke: telling young girls they can have a career

Keep being followed by lots of random accounts, some clearly bots, and many proclaiming to supporters of Wotsit Hitler. Is the Bluesky honeymoon over already?

If you’re applying for PIP, the charity Turn2Us has launched The PIP Tool: a free guide to navigate the benefits process. Their goal “is to make sure you know your rights and can afford what you need to enjoy life fully.” Share widely! pip.turn2us.org.uk

Banter is like sex. It is a two way process based on mutual respect and understanding. If you're doing it on your own, what you are is a wanker

‘Christmas Wrapping’ by The Waitresses feels quite bleak when you realise she’s spent 12 calendar months chasing this bloke for a date and now they're forced to spend the day together just because they needed some cranberry fucking sauce

Where is all the money?

More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.

Manchester City may have lost at Anfield today but at least their manager and goalkeeper didn’t react to what was a harmless, throwaway chant late on in the game in either a weirdly sensitive or incredibly distasteful manner. Oh.

BOUNCING OUT OF ANFIELD 11 POINTS AHEAD OF THE MILL TOWN SCRUFFS LIKE

Sounds like a couple who’ve written a letter to the Telegraph about how they can only go skiing once a year because school fees have gone up

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

My favorite John Candy story, from character actor Troy Evans.

Wonderful creativity from the kids at Christmas! 🎄

One of the most important and influential people of all time (and I am glad Scary Movie gets a mention). www.theguardian.com/film/2024/no...

If we were a serious country, this would be classed as an urgent national crisis

I bet there's a good story behind that gaffer tape.

The original ‘tosspot’, in the 16th century, was someone who ‘tossed back’ their ‘pot’ of beer and then immediately went back for another.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax… And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career …are now the self-appointed saviours of farming On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds. Listen on link below…

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.
