Great work, looking forward to hosting a screening.

Will do.

Though I'll avoid doing it from the top of a railway cutting.

Also not cynical about: punching women.

Do they though

Good job the British consulate and Foreign Office stood up for -

oh, no, as you were

Hemingway: “There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes”.

Even the Countryside Alliance must be getting tired of this nonsense.

The hunt has little to do with the 'rural way of life'. The vast majority of rural people object to it.

There is no culture war. If the hunt hadn't spent two decades flouting existing laws trail hunting wouldn't be in focus now.

It's Brendan, high on a lifetime of huffing his own farts and thinking they're perfume.

Can confirm they're sexing up our garden as I write.

Buying into Prince Andrew now being 'Andrew Mountbatten Windsor' is political and palace sleight of hand, and plays into the suggestion he isn't exactly what he is. The son of a prince, the brother of a prince, the uncle of a prince, the father of princesses.

He's not the glitch. He's the product.

If you'd like to back the call to end the hunt without going through the ad-infested hell that is any UK local newspaper, then the direct link is here.

Real story is that the man was tired because of a long day at work, and had forgotten to take off his HMRC name badge.

If only he'd grappled a little more with his conscience when deciding to overlook the significant amount of evidence already in the public domain when choosing to appoint a child rapist's bootlicker to the highest diplomatic role in the country.

After a pause of a couple of days to allow for any destruction of evidence, of course.

Words just dropped for Democracy’s headstone

Labour owes debt to giant of politics in modern era Mandelson has been on the right side of every important argument in the politics of the left since the 1990s

Just read Matthew Parris' obsequious hagiography of child-rapist-bootlicker Mandelson claiming the future will judge us badly for removing Petey from the Lords because he's tewwibly clever.

Matthew, the present, along with me, is judging you badly for this, right now. Very very badly. Vile.

Imagine Mandelson is under a lot of stress right now so just as well his husband is a trained osteopath.

Oooff. And what is more, ooofffff.

Let this be a lesson for all of us.
