Don't think my view on this album has changed in 36 years. (no way Keep it Together and Spanish Eyes justify their run-times; Cherish shouldn't have a double bridge and long outro; otherwise as close to unimpeachable as she ever got)

Swedes At It Again

What's really fascinating here is how other circumstances conspired to enable Farage to exploit it mercilessly. Six months earlier - Nick Griffin embarrassed himself on Question Time Eight days later (election day) - Farage survived a plane crash. Post-2010 ad nauseam - BBC platforming him on QT.

Ooooo it's 15 years today since Gordon Brown called that bigoted woman "that bigoted woman" and Brown was made a pariah for calling a bigot a bigot.

#1C000LEST 23. REACH OUT I'LL BE THERE by THE FOUR TOPS 1966 Long overdue, but I'm sending another one past 100 points. (this leaves #12 as the highest-ranked #Let5D0It single not yet in three figures) My favourite 3-minute single ever!

This is going to get people killed. The “Labour” govt have one-upped Thatcher in their cruelty. Section 28 wrought immense harm on LGBTQIA+ folk, trying to legislate us out of existence, and the bigots are back at it. With my whole chest, fuck For Women Scotland, and fuck the Supreme Court.

I blocked her for the smell of terf, but wanted to talk a little about this post, and the intersection of privileges it indicates and reflects. Some basic facts: The poster is a white American woman, Republican, wife of a renowned British bigot. Both have well-paid positions. Let's begin. 🧵

At the risk of re-starting Discourse, stop trying to make this particular revival happen. Thanks.

this is a truly pathetic response, "we've implemented these dehumanising rules that condone and encourage the cruellest possible treatment of trans people, but we probably won't actually do it in practice and oh I do hope everyone's still really nice to each other all the same", get fucked

A form of words I never expected to hear, on 6 Music about 20 minutes ago: "It's Giorgio Moroder's 85th birthday today, so it's the perfect time for a guilty pleasure. Here's 'I Feel Love'..."

Caller - (re Pope Francis) I called him the Woke Pope Vanessa - I take it that isn’t a compliment? You don’t think woke is a good thing? Caller - No! I didn’t approve of him. Vanessa - and *how* exactly was he woke? Caller - ….. well. He was kind.

"Consciously cruel" and "inadequate". These are the words used to describe Britain's current welfare state - but the Labour Government wants to cut it even further. This cannot happen. The Labour Party was founded to protect the most vulnerable in society.

They have officially banned trans women from playing Pool in the UK The organisation in charge of the decision cited the recent supreme court ruling, which didn't actually rule on this at all The true level of anti-trans insanity in the UK, fully supported by all major political parties

I am hearing the Labour leader must apologise, but also that no apology could ever be acceptable. What year is this

As expected the EHRC have pushed out utterly transphobic drivel as guidance which will have a hugely damaging impact on trans people. Trans Rights in the UK yet further dismantled. Fuck the EHRC, fuck the Supreme Court, Fuck the Government. This guidance is nothing short of a human rights violation

This is ugly, unworkable, nonsense and frankly a mask slip moment. We are in substantial danger of slipping into a moment of mass hysteria and moral panic not seen in decades and it cannot stand.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.
