I had this idea that, sooner or later, Trump would literally or figuratively be "run out of town on a rail". We did it to Boris Johnson, who's not in that keague -- what's the hold-up, America?

Underwrite my new film "From Jugs to Dugs, My Tit Journey", and this time next year...

Is this blister actually named. "Chip"? Am no expert, but actual Jesus, the one that wasn't born in Ohio, drove the moneylenders out of the temple and would have had opinions on this idiotic and malicious rubbish. I am, of course, an atheist.

Is there a book called Harvey I should read?

From the TLS
"More than nine billion tins of Spam have passed through the world’s gastrointestinal tracts ad thirteen tins are eaten every second."
Bloody. Vikings.

In the pub. There's a dispute, namely, "Where's my Guiness?" Turns out the barman had, oddly, heard "Innes" and poured a glass of Innes and Gunn, a lovely Scots oddity. Meanwhile, thirsty me. If Gunn had been the senior partner, we'd be there yet.

Whatever you do, don't call it "Brit Card" . True cringe.

Cratic. So cratic.

It seems you can only read Samuel Beckett sober, which seems all wrong.

It's like Captain Pike in The Cage. Two bleeps for yes, one for no, are no basis for a form of government. Yet the USA is either MIA Democrat (boo) or MAGA (hooray).

Words of frightening truth,

What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew

The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Just some BlueSky(e) thinking.

Should certainly Mull that over.

In England and Wales, there are just 53 villages that didn't need a war memorial after WW1, later called The Thankful Villages. Has Trump just invented the Thankful Schools?

Carries the whole "Rail Replacement Bus" joy within it. From "a whole weekend of football" to "Moldova v Wales" is an odd journey.

I love a country that can thrill to Sandy Denny and Neneh Cherry, Massive Attack and The Beatles. I hate the poisonous old gits in my local who would defund the RNLI and who'd give a second of their time to that nasty grifter Farage.

I was at a wedding last weekend. As usual, a group photograph was to be taken after the ceremony, outdoors on the front steps of the hall. The photographer calls “Is everyone out?” From behind me, a voice: “ Man, it's a gay marriage. Everyone's out who's coming out!”
