I’ve wanted to write something about a 60s girlband survivor for ages now but what’s the point when an ACTUAL survivor can encapsulate everything that can be said in three minute long performance m.youtube.com/watch?v=xzWMSB…

When you see this container at a food market you know you're gonna be paying £12 for chips with cheese on them

This, by Stewart Lee in today's Observer, is so true.

Now, I’m having brunch in a lovely Kikar Dizengoff.

What a country.

Last time the global ceasefire movement was this silent, was on October 7th

Never has it been so clear that the only path to true peace in the Middle East is the collapse of Khamenei’s regime in Iran.

Iran has launched a drone attack on Israel this evening. Shame on those safely in the West still demanding Israel tolerates those who will not recognise her existence and seek her destruction.

Anything from the CEASEFIRE NOW people regarding Iran launching an attack?

No?

Oh - I guess you were just c***s

The people of Israel are resilient. Now and always, we stand with them. Am Yisrael Chai; the people of Israel live! 🇮🇱

Am Yisrael Chai.

That is all I have to say.

Sending love to everyone in israel as talk of an imminent attack from Iran ramps up xx

The Islamic Republic of Iran has brought misery to Iranians for decades and terror repression and death for people across the Middle East.

All those who cherish life and freedom will stand strong and work to deter them in every way possible from causing further destruction.

Iran 🇮🇷 wants to destroy Israel.
Israel 🇮🇱 doesn’t want to destroy Iran.

Simple.
Now pick your side.

This should be the commercial fiction sensation of the year.

A Prayer for Owen Meany (1989)

One day, there'll be a profile of an up-and-coming British actor which doesn't reference their parent / godparent / grandparent working consistently in UK television for years before their offspring was 'discovered' (lol, no there won't)

“And my second nomination is for Sister Wendy”

I genuinely think one of my most formative cultural memories is that TV show where Joan Collins took a drab family on a trolley dash round Primark and ended up buying more stuff for herself than her victims.

'I believe in another Israel not defined by Netanyahu' - excellent read :theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

No, you don't need that gopping non-descript 4x4. You do the school run, go to Tesco and see the in-laws on a Saturday, you're not invading France. How about something that's cheaper to fuel and insure, better to drive, probably quicker and kinder to the polar bears instead?
