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.

An exquisite piece of music. Been in my head ever since hearing it on the radio as a 14 year old back in 1989. (On Radio 2 , not that I should have been listening to that at the time!)

Anyone who is preaching that a population has to protect its cultural integrity by turning away immigrants is no ally of mine. If your culture cannot stand up to other cultures on its own merits, it doesn't deserve to be protected. European culture can.

"You're a big account, so you have a duty to ..."
Look, at some level, I get that.
But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.
I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.
