Friday Evening

Such sad news. The last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, John "Paddy" Hemingway, has died at the age of 105. So much owed to Paddy and his generation for the freedoms we enjoy today. RIP Paddy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@lissakevans.bsky.social Finally picked up my copy yesterday. Now I need to resist the temptation to tear through it. #FatherTed #CraggyIsland

The last *seven days*? What *we* have *always feared*? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. 80 years ago today, Allied troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. 2 years ago I had the huge honour of interviewing one of the survivors, Kitty Hart-Moxon. Then aged 95, she was extraordinary. Here is our conversation www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Early birthday present from my daughter 😁 A great distraction from an otherwise crappy week. @mrjamesob.bsky.social #mysteryhour

Hard to overstate how catastrophic this is for global public health. The WHO has helped saved literally millions of lives, particularly those of children, from malnutrition, malaria, TB, HIV etc. Pure callous disregard for vulnerable humanity from Trump - as expected.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

In 2025 we could all start by agreeing... That billionaires Left or right Foreign or domestic Unhinged or not Should not be allowed to dictate and dominate our UK politics and media.

Saw #BetterMan at the cinema last night. A weird concept having a cgi monkey as #RobbieWilliams, but somehow it worked brilliantly. Also Steve Pemberton was fantastic as Robbie’s dad.

Thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on @lbc.co.uk to talk about lack of safe routes for refugees & story of little Wissam, who died after crossing the Channel. Considered, human conversation about channel crossings is rare on our airwaves. Thank you. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…

It’s definitely been a blue sky day! Beautiful Aberdeenshire.

Please #repost/#share for the #bees.🙏🏼🐝 This matters. So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’. Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to, and detrimental to, genuine bee saving. 1/18

Gave up on that other site a long time ago, heard about this one from @mrjamesob.bsky.social thought I’d give it a try. View from my back door.
