🎶I mol, you mol, we all mol for cocodamol🎶

This song is dedicated to Pierre-Jean Robiquet and Harmon Northrop Morse, who would both thoroughly appreciate its witty lyrical style, if they weren't dead. Seriously though; proper chemistry joke there.

Not sure if anyone's picked up on this signal today, but that Farage bloke is leaning towards giving the impression he *might* be a bit culturally paranoid. Just a teeny weeny smidge.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I've always sort of assumed that artists who create such works mentally given them subtitles like "The Power Of Groupthink", or "Fuck It, That'll Do", or "Yes, I Did See You Coming", or even "Jesus Christ How Am I Getting Away With This?"

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:
