Another great Magic Box-type piece by @polyalbion Rob Young: modern tv is so bland. Oh for the subversive programmes of my youth: https://t.co/rwfM2Dpu6p

Programmes of the 1970s and 80s broke moulds and scarred minds. Better that than endless reality shows and Downton-esque drama, says Rob Young, author of The Magic Box

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg This is just pure rubbish on what ECHR is about - and it is bizarre that you would not know it. The whole master-slave framing you are painting is ridiculous and deliberately misleading. These are rights first proposed by Winston Churchill and the European Movement - later

Hey Derek, I’m afraid this is a ghost book! It was only ever a loose proposal, but the publisher too eagerly registered the item with Amazon way before it had been contracted or written. The idea was dropped for various reasons. I have asked @AmazonUK to take it down. Sorry!
@polyalbion Hey Rob, we don't know each other (some good mutuals though!), but I'm wondering if you might have copies of your Labels Unlimited books you could sell me? I can track down the Warp one, also Rough Trade. But I'm *really* on the hunt for the 4AD one. Any advice/help?

Rishi Sunak told Beth Rigby "That's not what the Public wants." When asked about a General Election. Like if you want a General Election RT if you really want one. Liar Rishi Sunak has to go.

A great bit about the British landscape by @polyalbion in the @weirdwalk Ritual zine. Something well worth keeping in mind if you’re working on, say, something like a Liminal, Vaesen - Mythic Britain or Rivers of London scenario. Down, down we go…

Here's how the future is going to play out... (Long - please expand the tweet.) 1. The Tories will keep on wrecking things faster and faster as the GE approaches. They'll act like irresponsible teenagers who know they don't have to clean up in the morning after a wild drunken

This is great on the soundtrack to The Wicker Man; its birth, fall and rise. Just reading @polyalbion’s The Magic Box which has the Summerisle film running through it
theguardian.com
With British folk songs done by a New Yorker, the soundtrack disappeared for decades – but has now become a touchstone for artists journeying to a nation’s dark heart

If Labour are keen to let 16-year-olds vote because that’s pro-democracy… And if they’re exploring letting EU migrants vote, because that’s pro-democracy Then how can they possibly be against the most democratic electoral reform of all… Proportional Representation?

Paging @serafinowicz @robertpopper Time for a comeback for Lee Titt?
