The peaceful Ukrainian city of Kharkiv where currently reside 1.3 million people is being attacked by russia-Iran drones tonight. Like it has been every night for weeks now.

The axis of evil doesn’t sleep - and isn’t afraid of escalation.

This doesn't surprise me, I haven't used Halfords for years after coming across a Halfords Manager who was an offensive idiot. theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…

Putin's track record is clear. If he cannot control something, he will destroy it. Ukrainians are not willing to die quietly under a Russian regime of slavery and torture, so Putin and his partners in Iran, North Korea, and China will obliterate the country unless stopped.

And if I sound angry, it's because I'm bloody angry. I read Cass this morning and my anger's been mounting all day. Kids have been irreversibly harmed, and thousands are complicit, not just medics, but the celebrity mouthpieces, unquestioning media and cynical corporations. 5/6

I don't remember a single protest in the UK. Narrative is more important than the actual events/facts.

Bit of cognitive dissonance going on here

I’ll stop saying “I told you so” soon, I promise. But when you combine a new law with hopeless messaging about what it means, this avalanche of complaints and the overwhelming of the police was foreseeable, and foreseen.

Some of Buster Keaton’s best stunts!

It’s just deeply embarrassing for Angus Robertson that the nationalist MSP, cabinet secretary for culture, could not save the home of Scottish cinema *in his constituency* but a community grant from the UK government did.

Brutal

Why weren't the Police ready for this?

A correspondent emails me: 'Radical social engineering is bad, but if a national government doesn’t have its own industrial policy then its economy will be shaped by somebody else’s industrial policy.' Yep.

I take it that demonstrators will now be outside Russian and Chinese embassies. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

Personal thread re latest J.K. Rowling storm. If she had neither deep bravery nor deep pockets I'd be much more scared for women and our future. She is part of a movement which has become necessary to protect sex based rights. She has become a beacon for bravery for women who do…

Are interdental brushes more effective once they have been on the floor? I only say that because the packets they come in seem designed to distribute them all over the place when being opened.

Today, the UK became the only G7 country to end its primary steelmaking capability.

The Tories and Tata Steel are pursuing a scorched earth industrial policy before the next election.
