“Brace yourselves for the now routine hysterical over-reaction and obligatory bogus sentimentality.” A few words on Andy Kershaw. | Pete Paphides Get more from Pete Paphides on Patreon

Some of my all-time favourite records were introduced to me by this man.

Are these the death panels that the opponents of socialised health care have told us so much about?

Sorry to hear that my old sparring partner Andy Kershaw has passed away. His eclectic taste in music and enthusiastic promotion of the artists he loved made him a brilliant broadcaster

Theresa May stuns Police Federation with vow to break its power Home secretary says that in their handling of sensitive cases some officers had displayed 'contempt for the public'

I am not a fan of May, but I seem to recall it was more than that. The police were corrupt, arrogant, over-mighty and out of control. With more than just one bad apple. May made a mess of it, but police have also been determined to learn nothing.

He thinks he is funny.

Not a howff I know, but I suspect it was very carefully selected.

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

Isn’t the whole point of Reform is turning back the clock to 1841 ?

Take down bird feeders this summer to cut spread of avian disease, says RSPB Charity advises replacing seed and nut feeders, where birds gather, with small amounts of mealworms, fat balls or suet Garden birds should not be fed seeds and nuts over the summer months, the RSPB has said, in an attempt to reduce the spread of avian diseases. Bird lovers are being urged to take down their bird feeders between May and October to help birds such as the greenfinch, whose numbers have plummeted after the spread of trichomonosis, a parasitic disease transmitted more easily when birds cluster around feeders in the warmer months.

It is sad when the vice-president of the United States sees his job as spreading Kremlin propaganda.

Indeed. It would be a shame if people kept referring to Ye’s current hit, ‘All The Love’ by its previous name, ‘Gas Chambers’.

foregrounding it, and as Ye launched into the opening stretch of songs from Bully, he instantly stumbled. Barely making it half a line into "King" before dropping out and largely letting the instrumental play on its own, he continued to miss long stretches of lines in these opening songs. By the time he finished "Father," he took a very long, very silent break, before getting irritable at the tech team and demanding that they "make the Earth move slower." After adjusting the globe visuals a couple times (causing the Earth to jitter around in the process), he was finally satisfied enough to launch into "Gas Chambers," I mean, "All the Love."

Jesus Christ imagine paying to see this

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??
