30 day* movie challenge:
Day. 1: first film you saw at the cinema…
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Think I saw it at a cinema in Swiss Cottage - I was five when it was released.
It’s downhill from here, isn’t it?
*I’ll be amazed if I make it to day seven!

I love how Sky Sports commentators, pundits and presenters just can’t bring themselves to ever say that a match is a load of dogshit, when it’s painfully obvious.

The white people I know in London who grew up here have friends neighbours and lovers who are people of colour Ed West who is of course posh doesn’t speak for them
No surprise that Ed West thinks you have to be white for London to be "your city", but still shocking that the *London* Standard prints this stuff.

If I was accused of using offensively racist language at college, I’d grab every fucking opportunity I could to refute the claims and put an end to it.
It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.
He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.
A Trumpian drip.
