I talk a bit about politics, but mostly this is going to be books, Doctor Who, and a little smattering of Brentford FC. My YouTube Channels:

Great result for Macclesfield Town. I wish the FA and the EPL respected the FA Cup as much as its tradition deserves.

The last chapter of this history book has yet to be written. We’ve beaten them before and we will beat them again.
The only way these fascist chucklefucks make this work is by succeeding in manufacturing the *appearance* of inevitability, because they *do not* have the force or skill to win a straight fight.
In short, the only weapon that can deliver them victory is you: the fool doomer whose nihilism is poison

It's amazing how all the 'protect the women' right-wing dribble merchants are suddenly OK with not protecting the women when it spoils their games. Elon Musk, Rupert Lowe etc etc. All refusing to abandon the paedo-political complex because...well...

Rupert Lowe, patriot and supporter of the paedo-political complex. So Patriotic he thinks the EU is tyranny, but being a puppet of the US is fine.
You could just get a job that isn’t wanking for coins on a child abuse image generator Rupert

That "fucking bitch" line contains all the arrogance of a women hating bully who thinks they're above the law. It's the motto of the Trump Presidency.

Fraser Nelson proves, on a regular basis, that he would cheerlead for a British Hitler if he was paid enough money to do so.
Yep, The Times is going with 'The murder of Renee Nicole Good is the fault of immigrants'.

I have realised that I have become cynical and pessimistic about politics recently. I had sunk into the 'they're all the same' morass that bad people want you to get stuck in. You've got to have hope and you've got to believe you can bring down the tyrants or stop them getting power. 1/2

The irony of this in the year that America is supposed to be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the American Independence, which involved a certain amount of - let's be mild - demonstrating, yelling, challenging, and incivility.
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

The paedopolitic complex. Douglas Carswell has jumped about the Trumpaedo ship.
Douglas Carswell is actively offering to help a nutcase American politician to help sanction the UK if its government bans a platform that refuses to comply with UK law regarding child porn.
These people were never patriots. They are paedo-enablers.

This just reminds me of the person who, when Jodie Whittaker was made the new Doctor Who, claimed that it would lead to a 'TARDIS full of bras'.
Every time there’s a weather system on a forecast that looks a bit like a penis, it gets reposted all over the place with a juvenile WAHEY!
So here’s the reason I’m not driving up the M5/M6 tomorrow - a whole bra full of snow.

You'd have thought the last few decades had shown that Eton doesn't provide 'quality' people. It provides well-connected people who've learned next to bugger all about anything except how to benefit from the old school tie.
'Senior leaders at Trinity Hall – one of the university’s oldest colleges – last month approved proposals to apply a “targeted recruitment policy” to schools including Eton, Winchester and St Paul’s Girls, in a bid to boost the “quality” of students applying'.

Another man who purports to be a Christian but is, in fact, destined for the burning pits of hell. Specifically the bit that is reserved for cruel, hypocritical buckets of shit.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

Randy Fine probably claims to be a Christian but is in fact a cunt.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

Nick Robinson's political interviews perfectly illustrate the invariable reality of the BBC: strong with the weak and weak with the strong.

Not even a subtle cover-up. But again an illustration that you can't trust the Police, the Armed Forces or organisations like the FBI to protect you. They will do what they're told. Even when it is wrong. They'll round you up and send you to camps - because that's what they've been instructed to do.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I don't want to be harsh but someone who is a Law Professor who is this stupid should be fired immediately.
I just heard a law professor claim in a recording that in early modern England, there wasn’t any significant migration to the British Isles, which is just plainly wrong.

I understand why American law enforcement needs guns. I understand that sometimes they're going to have to use them but most of the time when they're waving them about they look like they've had no training in using them except point and fire, no training in de-escalation. They just look like PANIC!

I still want to write 'The Pretentious Fan's Guide to the Football League', which was my Ground, Pub and Culture Guide for visiting all 92 Football League Grounds. So, if you wanted to go on the piss there would be recs but if you wanted to do some art/sight seeing there would be recs there too
