Today I finally visited a location I've been meaning to go to since 1977 or 1983. I even took the Brig with me. And yes, I just humming the jaunty little 'Turlough steals and crashes a car' ditty as I walked around. #DoctorWho

There are a multitude of ways to win a football match. Tonight we needed * a) an inspired goal keeping performance b) resolute defending from all players c) a good goal d) brilliant corners from our captain Et voila, 3 points #BlackburnRovers * one of the list is a lie

The ever so charming concourse at Bristol City away end. If Dickens had been a stadium designer, he'd have come up with this grim monstrosity. Even the Head Steward is called Uriah Brizzlegate.

There's a rant in #Digger that is effectively that oil is more important than people. Trump has clearly taken this as an inspirational speech.

Out and about in Shrewsbury and there's a time line in the shape of the River Severn snaking Mara-like around the town, depicting the history of the Earth. Nice to see they've included the Alzarian's finest hour. @gruntleigh.bsky.social

Hadn't realised how stupid the NHS dentistry situation is. Nearly 4x qualified - many highly qualified - available dentists as vacancies... but can't fill them as they're not from the UK. Madness. And certain other parties policies will be even more damaging to health & social care. 🫩 #LDConf

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

How to simply say theres a need to address social care and also protect universal health provision, avoiding the model favoured by those starting with "Re".

Prior to getting Odeon Limitless post covid in Sept 2021 (making it sound like another virus) been to far more movies; previously was selective viewing so nothing stands out as woeful. Since then, 2 films have scored 1.5 / 10 for me - Moonfall and Iron Lung. Terrible, terrible films.

@markpackuk.bsky.social hopefully you knew this!

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

Happy 78th birthday NHS. Obviously if you want to see it celebrate its 88th (or even it's 83rd), you know which parties to avoid in a general election when it arrives in 2029. (Picture from Amnesty International UK)

Safely ensconced at Kents Hill ahead of #Utopia on Friday-Sunday. #DoctorWho conventions are such fun, and as its not meltingly hot unlike last year, it'll no doubt be even an better weekend from Fantom Events.

"This country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs medicine. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that what this country really needs right now, is a Doctor." Think this up and coming politician might be onto something...

It's fascinating how many people interact with art purely through the lens of censoring it. I'm not even talking about activists or politicians, just regular readers/viewers/etc who immediately take to the internet to say, "Why were they allowed to create this??" Just bizarre

The greatest Doctor's autograph added to that of the greatest producer of one of the box set of one of the greatest seasons. #DoctorWho
