OTD in 1994 The Budapest Memorandum was signed. It remains the most spectacular waste of paper, ink, and geopolitical optimism in the history of humankind.
The deal was simple: Ukraine disarms. Russia, the UK, and the USA promised, in return, to guarantee our security and territorial integrity.

Is saying that the Jews run the world antisemitic or just vigilant? Tune in for next week's episode of "is it racist to be racist"
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

People will tell you that the left has lost touch with society, but the expected next tory leader is nostalgic for football hooliganism, and the political editor of the Express is calling for MPs to be deported.

I have listened to the music of Sam Fender and it’s not for me. Sorry, Sam Fender. If you really wanted to get in with me, though, you wouldn’t have brought in that guy from The War On Drugs.

When I'm feeling despondent about the hyperstupid cynicism of mass culture, I console myself witht the thought that Bobby Fingers is probably in the process of making something utterly enchanting and hilarious right now.

I dunno guys it just feels like maybe there might be some downsides to outsourcing your ideology to Blue Labour, a tiny faction whose whole shtick is hating the actually existing electorate in favour of a bunch of people they made up in their heads

I was err...a bit older than 10 but likewise. It slaps harder than "The Nightfly" in my book.
#CDFriday listened to this last night; it came out when I was 10 and it was one of the first CDs I loved. It holds up. I still have it completely memorized.

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly.

In a case of "This was *definitely* written by an Irish person!", I just took part in a survey, where the 5-point scale went 'Poor - Fine - Good - Very Good - Excellent'.
"How was it?!" "It was fine." Ouch!
The only way to make it more Hiberno would be to change "Good" to "Grand"! #SpeirGorm
