It only took ten years for a dedicated bunch of well-connected weirdoes to get the entire UK elite to unite against a tiny minority of the population that they previously barely noticed.
The few to resist, like Robin Ince, deserve our lasting gratitude and respect.

It may not feel like it now as marginalised people and their allies are edged out of institutions in the arts - but those institutions are unreliable, antiquated and at this point, bending the knee to fascism. It’s absolutely the best thing artistically and financially to be free of that.

PS Wes Streeting is a snidey little cunt who wants to privatise the NHS and takes beefy donations from private medical companies. Everyone should be able to get the flu jab for free and he is in charge of the decision for it not to be.

People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border.
We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity.

It's no wonder people use Uber when all other taxi firms are utter dogshit. We usually use a local firm: we even have to pay with cash but they've let us down a few times lately.

Companies using AI to make films think that if everyone is doing it we'll have no choice but to watch them. What they're forgetting is that we have nearly a century's worth of non-AI films that will keep us going more than long enough for them to buckle.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
