I THINK the street artist
known as Bansky is
exceptionally talented, but his skills
were left wanting when he was in my
part of town last week. In fact all he
could manage was a crude scribble
of a cock and balls, plus an untidy
scrawling of
"Rob is a cunt' on the
side of my new fucking shed. I
don't even think it's worth anything
because he didn't even sign it.

UK launches operation to support thousands of Britons in Middle East Officials are understood to be working on plans to evacuate British nationals, should airspace remain closed.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model).

If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that.

I’ve not really spoken about the BrewDog situation yet because honestly, I’m just a bit over them. Perennially bored of the headline-hogging and resultant pile on when there are infinitely more interesting beer stories out there that continue to go uncovered.

Just a reminder to any racist millionaire football club owners out there that without immigration we wouldn't have any of this

Sgt Peppers album cover consisting of things that only made it because of immigration in to the UK, either immigrants themselves, the children of or as a result of someone else coming here.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

Mae Jemison wears a bright orange NASA space suit and holds her helmet for a photo

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Can we take a moment to celebrate this train. 9167 will cross 4 countries this evening and dive beneath the sea on its way from Amsterdam to London. We took over from our Dutch colleagues in Brussels. It's quite simply Europe on rails, and it makes me very proud indeed. 😊
