l remember when this was considered far right

 

dr peter hilton in the times defending the idefensible.

Dr Peter Hilton in a letter to The Times showing why woman are subject to inappropriate actions and comments, while being bullied.  What a fucking rotter.  People like him should have been doing something to stamp out these actions, rather than defending them and victim blaming. I hope he's not still working.

the coming wave - mustafa suleyman

Just finished this Mustafa Suleyman book which arrived yesterday and it is both amazing and scary. It's looking forward to the advancements with AI and robotics, amongst other topics such as DNA modification, while also setting out some plans and ideas for restraint and regulation. This will affect everyone in the next 5 - 10 years, not just in the loss of jobs, and it is mind boggling. Highly recommended.

This big (now dead) bastard was waiting for me in the kitchen this morning. First one of the year, and l'm certainly not looking forward to any more, although l'm sure they are coming (or already hiding somewhere).

The Rolling Stones - Angry (Official Video)

I think the video is better than the song (which is fine), as the moving billboards look great.  However, they do remind you how great the Rolling Stones were in the past, making you (or me at least) pine for those times, rather than a new album.

gillian keegan update - more tory corruption

When will this corruption ever end?  It's like they are trying to milk every single penny out of the public purse and distribute it to family, friends and donors. A lot of them would be in jail if they weren't protected by their position, wealth and backing form colleagues.  It rotten to the core, and it stinks.

jordan henderson - not doing it for the money

Despite the fact Jordan Henderson is ex Liverpool, l feel a bit bad picking on him for being two faced and taking the Saudi Arabian money, after his stance supporting the LGBTQ community, because at least he did support them at a time when hardly anyone else did.  However, this is clearly about the money, as he would have had lots of other options to continue playing, at many other clubs and countries, and let's face it, after playing for Liverpool for years on footballers wages, he won't exactly be on the breadline. Plus, l agree with this statement from Christian Hewgill.

Christ on a bike!!  Are they serious? This apparently is Theresa May's official portrait. I certainly don't ever remember her looking like this. Get it straight in the attic - those eyes would be following you around the room, constantly looking down on you in more ways than one.

gillian keegan doing a fucking good job

Our current Education Secretary (the sixth in two years). She is also quoted as knowing about the problem and saying 'Sit on it for two years and it will be someone else's problem'. Probably meaning Labour. Rishi Sunak blocked the cash, (after the Conservatives had already stopped Labours school rebuilding during the coalition) but at least he gave a bottle of wine to a school fundraiser

Schools currently at risk of falling apart.  What a time to be alive.  Of course this will have nothing to do with the fact when the Tory / Liberal coalition came to power, they cancelled the school building programme.  People have short memories.
