More of the same middle aged ranting/dad jokes as on the old place, really, but less rising to the political bait. Springsteen, West Ham, Europe-type stuff. 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇧🇦
Considering how slavishly Reform follows Trump, I wonder what they make of the way the US government is now trying to explain away blowing up small boats and then following up to finish off. Anyone who has read 1984 may recall such scenes being presented as mass public entertainment.

Wow - Fiona Bruce's opening comments on BBCQT immigration special. 'For some, the small boats that turn up on these shores are a sign that the country has lost control of its borders ....' and that was the end of the sentence. No 'but others would say...' just left hanging. Appalling non-journalism.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

I see BBC Question Time tonight is focusing on immigration and has a Reform representative on the panel. Groundbreaking stuff on both accounts, I'm sure you will agree.

FACT OF THE DAY. 3 December 1992. Neil Papworth sent the world’s 1st mobile phone text message. It read: “Merry Christmas.” It was sent to the cellphone of Vodafone director, Richard Jarvis. It was a modest start, but it ultimately changed the way in which humans communicated with each other.
