(the 'mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti...' spiral)

Okay, we are done here.

People who utilise, or cause to utilise, are also known to indulge in the odd bit of facilitation.

The CEO of Palantir's UK arm is Oswald Mosley's grandson, incidentally.

We *never* have to ask ourselves again how Hitler came to power.

When the economy was going great, Nigerian princes offered me up to $83 million dollars, just for a little money laundering.

It crept down to $16 million.

These days, I get zero offers. Nobody loves me. Instead I have endless failed parcel deliveries, and my cloud content is deleted daily.

It's not just that Palantir believes "Western Civilisation" to be inherently superior, though they do.

It's that they're arrogant enough to believe they can order "the West" a la carte, selectively choosing the racist authoritarian bits they like and declaring them the civilisational secret sauce.

‘A quiet, radical act’: Muslim neighbours support members of attacked London synagogue After attempted arson attack, communities are determined to remain resilient and open

Read the article to restore your faith in everything. This is why I love the UK, specifically London, specifically Finchley.

"It can't get worse" is what put Trump in power

worth a read!

I'm a broken record on this but the radicalisation and brain rot of Gen X/boomers is a massively under-appreciated problem

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

This is an example of something we often see in the media:

Person sacked AFTER ...insert something innocuous-sounding, and preferably something anti-woke...

The innocuous-sounding part will inevitably be just the first incident in a long chain of events, or one of many things the person did wrong

We all have days like this

I get that people say "if lefties criticise Starmer it just paves the way for Farage."

What's the alternative? Ignore incompetence and corruption? Let it become normalised, just in time for the far right to enter govt and REALLY go to town?

I'm gonna criticise ANYBODY incompetent or corrupt.

Screenshot of 04/13/2026 Facebook post by John Anderson, with two graphics [the Trump as Jesus graphic and a book cover graphic] and the following text: "I did some digging and the God-like figure at the top of Trump's post is actually BAAL the demon from the cover of a book called The Last Pull. This is insane!"

And the Gundam-like character in the spectral montage is... BAAL.

As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

The Last Supper.

"I'd like to gavel in today's board meeting of the American Medical Association...."

For the avoidance of doubt, following the publication of the explicitly transphobic Scottish Labour manifesto this morning, I will not be campaigning for any Scottish Labour candidates in the upcoming election, and I will not be voting Scottish Labour either.

#NoVotesLabourInMay #TransRightsNow

Scottish Labour are somehow even more Tory than English Labour

Well at least Viktor Orbán is free to headline Wireless next year.

The Pope has never had a #1 record. The Pope has no idea how to make a hit record. I think maybe The Pope should take a seat and listen to what Phil Spector has to say.

instead of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, could Trump not just unfollow and mute it

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Is this what good news feels like?

I'm sure Republicans have nothing to worry about, unless like Orban they were hoping to rely on JD Vance's charisma to lift their electoral fortunes in the face of a deeply unpopular incumbent perceived as personally corrupt and inept at managing a struggling economy.

Oh.

Oh wait.

Oh no.

As a lawyer, one of my iron rules is to avoid the passive voice. Not 'mistakes were made' but 'X made mistakes'. Otherwise nobody knows who is responsible for what.

And isn't it amazing how often it becomes clear others around you were nodding along without understanding either, and are grateful to you?

A crucial detail missed in debates about masculinity:

All those old boys like Geoffrey Palmer, Jack Hawkins, Nigel Stock... they had lived and worked with those characters, in the Army or public schools. Nowadays actors (and political actors) crib it all second-hand from old films. Bad photocopies.
