When I was at Anglia TV about 25 yrs ago, a girl in our office sent out a team email that said, “It’s been a crap Monday, who wants to come to my flat for a smoke?” Sadly she sent it to everyone in ITV. Melvyn was one of the first to reply with “That sounds lovely but sadly I’m filming in Newcastle”

Different context for flag flying here in Wales. But if you’re in England, and are insecure enough to feel the need to flaunt a St George’s cross, expect me to judge you.
Mikey Papadopoulos (@mikeypap.bsky.social)
Unless there’s a sporting event on, flag flying marks you out as suspicious at best, a wrong ‘un at worst.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

They call him a paedo defender. They claim he let Jimmy Savile off. They spread rumours about his private life and his family. They HATE him. They will never vote for him. And what does he do? He tries to make friends with them and alienates people who would vote for him.

In Polish when someone provides false or unsubstantiated information with confidence, they are described as having taken it from IDzD. IDzD stands for Instytut Danych z Dupy (the Institute of Out-of-your-Ass Data).

There's no better poster child for the mess the UK is now in than the fact that the Financial Times - home to the "how to spend it" supplement on luxury geegaws - is now one of the most left-wing media channels in the country simply because it's still interested in reality.

Apparently it’s simply too special to fail. And if it’s too special to fail, there’s no reason to fight that hard. They are so, so fucked and simply don’t realise it. Less a frog slowly boiling, more a pompous frog refusing to accept THIS water will ever be more than tepid

A quasi religious belief in the founding fathers, the constitution and the rule of law, despite, you know, 200+ years of American history. That’s why they’re in such deep trouble, because the only thing the left and MAGA have in common is absolute faith in the sanctity of the YEW-ESS-AY

They are so steeped in this ‘Shining City on a Hill’ bullshit that they simply cant conceive that American democracy is under existential threat. They largely refused to accept the danger the country was in because how can it be in danger when it’s the biggest, most powerful and the best?

Spoke to a Canadian who’s just completed a politics PhD at an Ivy League school. Mixed with plenty of students, faculty and some well known American socialist public intellectuals. She said even in these ultra progressive circles, the American exceptionalism is STAGGERING. Literally astonishing.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
