Yes, and I'd make a formal complaint to NHS Scotland as well as consider legal action

My controversial music take is that Under Pressure is, by a distance, Queen's most overrated song, and one of the most overrated songs ever recorded

I don't think it's in any way a bad song, it's just... ok, I guess. If it wasn't for the Bowie collaboration I'm not sure it would be as big as it is
#QueenWorldCup

That’s it! All over!

KILLER QUEEN - 17

UNDER PRESSURE - 19

The song which gave us Vanilla Ice’s career is into the final.

Finally, recognition for the narrator from the Snowman.

Semi-final 2: The Semi Revenge kicks off tomorrow morning.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Normalising multimillionaires made billionaires acceptable (even though the difference between £10m and £1bn is basically...£1bn). Normalising multiBILLIONaires has now made the idea of a TRILLIONaire acceptable.

It's not. It's obscene.

This is utterly obscene. How anyone thinks this is acceptable is beyond me.
The world’s richest man was just handed a chance to become history’s first trillionaire. Elon Musk won a shareholder vote on Thursday that would give the Tesla CEO stock worth $1 trillion if he hits certain performance targets over the next decade.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

This also means the English press haven't read @seamas.bsky.social's "Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine." twitter thread?

Weirdos.
And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

The truth is people have voted for the 'less bad' Party for decades, look where that has got us.

People want to vote for a Good Party again.
