I've loved Kate Bush's music for the past 30 years. Sooz is probably my favourite performer of her work, and in particular this song.
Performing Kate Bush's A Coral Room at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern last week. What. A. Song.

Gambling companies claim there is “no social ill”.
Yet harm falls hardest on the poorest communities — this is a tax on desperation.

Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely

Ok - we’ll be right over

We just have a gentle chat

I understand your concerns…

Are you OK love?

Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian

Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love

Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

I wish I had the nerve to make up lies about other countries and gleefully post them on social media. Reported this for misinformation, but I don't have a huge amount of confidence in the system to remove it.

Can't help but think this is happening to Dawn in part because she is one of the most lovable and relatable Labour MPs (just her calling BoJo a liar ensured her place in many hearts), and those politically opposed to her are scared of her potential.
🚨 These are not even the worst, but cant show ones reported to the police.

The biggest mystery in the entire thing is why Celia Imrie's character is so willing to throw away cake carriers with such abandon, leaving them with nearly every character she meets.

Fucking hell. I know nobody’s in greasy overalls for you to fetishise, Labour, but this is still an industry full of working people on marginal incomes that you are voluntarily destroying, you dumb tech-fetishising goons. You just sold us for corporate strip-mining. Up the workers.

Excellent point, succinctly made. It's sad if people can only interpret art superficially as a visual with apparent realism or "polish" (as AI mimicry sometimes manages).
