Just sent my annual Christmas present to Wikipedia. I use it all the time so the least I can do is send them some cash once a year.

I see that our schools are going to be closed during Christmas, no doubt to stop our kids learning about Christianity. This happened during Easter too. Funny how they’re open during the Ramadan though when our kids can get Islamed senseless! Starmer Must Resign!!!!!!

What Charlie said. An absolute stonker.
Today’s Xmas book gift recommendation. The Cracked Mirror. Not a new one but now in paperback. For someone who loves both Golden Age/cosy crime & US cop fiction but is a little jaded. A clever and mind-bending mash up from @cbrookmyre

More unfilmed/unpublished material in this episode. And, yes, insights into the life of a professional writer
The 2nd ep of @monstroso 's interview is here. Another 5 top scripts and some unusually honest insights into certain well-known TV shows and the way the business ACTUALLY works + a nice blue(r) graphic instead of the purple so you don't confuse the 2 eps https://t.co/AsGHCGrsNh

Absolute mayhem in London this morning. Sort it out, Khan!
London used to be the best city in the world. I loved living and working there. Genuinely loved it. The whole world wanted to be in London. Now? It is a dump. Outside a few select posh areas right in the middle of the city, it increasingly resembles the third world. It

I must say I’m very pleased to have discovered Radio 3 Unwind. Does what it says on the tin. If I have one quibble it’s that they play slightly too much vapid piano music that sounds like it was created by AI @BBCRadio3Unwind
