Ethnically Welsh. Professional librarian. Wilfully obscure. Arrogant music snob. I'm nothing special.

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

The perfect band for Eurovision has been staring us in the face for 40 years. Why had nobody asked Half Man Half Biscuit to do it?

Remember Aberfan. Remember Grenfell, Covid, Hillsborough, Piper Alpha, The Herald of Free Enterprise, the list goes on. THEY are never held to account. WE count the cost in lives.

Hard same.

In 1984 Winston Smith had to be starved, tortured and eaten by rats to finally concede 2 + 2 = 5. In 2026 there are people who believe any old shite because someone who looks like them said it on Instagram lol
