Very sad news about the death of the legendary drummer Clem Cattini. Still, he's had worse experiences – he was once played by James Corden in a film.

People say Andy Burnham is a good guy. If there’s the tiniest shred of truth in that, just imagine the absolute wreckage of his self-respect now and forever, leading the most racist UK government in over 30 years. He’ll never feel remotely happy ever again. Well-deserved.

It’s such a shame that when the Alton Towers team were discussing which author to devote a section of the theme park to, there wasn’t a brain-damaged three-year-old in the vicinity to shout “WELL OBVIOUSLY ANYONE BUT BLOODY DAVID WALLIAMS, YOU UTTER UTTER BERKS!!’”

We need shame to make a comeback. It's the lack of *shame* from those with power which has broken everything.

You cannot be a moral person and not fervently wish everything the average Palestinian has suffered throughout their lives on every single Labour MP, and indeed every Zionist supporter in every field. But especially Labour MPs.

You do realise there’s only a glimmer of global hope today because millions of Putin/Musk/Trump bots were blown up by Ukraine, right? Western democracy is still fucked until these people are permanently stopped and decisively punished.

When is someone going to publicly admit that Jamie Miller’s ‘Babydoll’ is just that Olvia Dean song with less of a melody to talk about?

Racist.
A Green Party councillor in Leicester has defected to Labour - saying she no longer recognises the party under Zack Polanski. Liz Sahu, who represents Castle ward, says the Greens adopting a “Zionism is Racism” motion was the “final straw”.

Any time I’m compelled to listen to BBC 6music for more than a few minutes, my mind re-boggles that all the songs they play are actual conscious, deliberate decisions.

The first step is to forcedly remove all social media from private/corporate ownership. Close X and Meta. We need a new publicly-governed body to make all social media free from manipulation.

I haven't eaten brand Rice Krispies for decades, good to know the cheaper alternatives are better in every way.

In an update on the Alton Towers website, it has been confirmed that The World of David Walliams has permanently closed as of today. How would you like to see this area of the park redeveloped?

I wonder if celebrities who do gambling adverts ever go out in search of suicidal people on roof edges so they can shout "JUMP!" at them? I suppose it depends what the money's like.

It's amusing: despite having 0 income, if I was offered millions, I would have to say NO to gambling ads; it would crush me. But then, nobody's going to make that offer, because I'm nobody. Those who say YES already have so much more than me. No, not amusing – the other one.
