Viruses were a lot easier to spot in them days.
I have no data to add to the "most ppl under 40 don't know any Pet Shop Boys songs" discourse, just an anecdote that last night I was the only punter over 25 on a packed dancefloor and West End Girls came on and the whole room reacted like it had been sprayed with liquid ecstasy.
WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE
I would be a lot happier if they just came out and said, "Look, British Rail was shit, but what we have now is even shitter, and shit is better than shitter, so we're going back to that." But I admit it wouldn't make half as cool a poster.
Some thoughts on the "go back to Poland" slogan hurled at Jews, a thread
This is an absolutely shocking and disturbing statement that no person of conscience can allow to go unchallenged. It should of course read, "If you are 40 with *fewer* than five children you're probably gay."
Quite possibly my single favourite record ever, and Eren Abdullah is the man who made it happen. His is the mix that matters. His is the mind and the hands that put it together and made it magical. Thank you, man. Thank you.

In addition to what it reveals - or rather confirms - about the Met, this raises a simple question: If these pro-Palestinian demonstrations are not innately antisemitic, why would the presence of a visibly Jewish person be in any way likely to "antagonise" the participants?

One lesson from Humza Yousaf’s fate: don’t make coalition agreements that rest on deeply unpopular & unscientific ideologies, in this case that gender identity can replace sex and that gender-questioning children benefit from unevidenced and irreversible medical pathways.

@DavidBennun And inevitably then the baffling and self-destructive cosying-up to hideous people, as 'my enemy's enemy is my friend'. The stupidest of the 99 Achilles Heels of the left.
@DavidBennun From a small sample size (ricclets x3), I'd say you could replace PSB with any successful old band in that quote, and be 100% wrong. Kids today can rarely afford live gigs, but have streaming access to nearly everything... so their tastes are far less tide to "What's new?"
@DavidBennun We used to play it a fair bit in our shop with half the staff under 25, and it was likely the managers my age and older who moved away from Pink Floyd, Yes, and the Pet Shop Boys.
Said this so many, so many times: it's the lack of quality inside management everywhere that is one of the true hallmarks of UK capitalism. Macmillan, Wilson and Heath were all very clear about this.
Hypothesis: the UK's acute lack of management ability (across most industries) means that the railways will be poorly run whether in public or private hands.
@Mendelpol Yair Lapid spoke at Kinloss a few years ago. This stuck with me: "My father recalled graffiti in Yugoslavia saying 'Jews, Go Back to Palestine'. On recent trips to Europe, I've seen graffiti saying 'Jews, Get Out Of Palestine'. For antisemites, Jews have no place. Anywhere."
@DavidBennun At least British Rail didn’t charge an arm and a leg to be shit, so there was that.

Genuinely hilarious that Labour are leading amongst Telegraph readers. (This is the second pollster to have got this result.)

It’s always my fault, isn’t it.
I suspect there are *many* female members of the parliamentary Labour party who feel very similarly, but have not yet been able to express these views because of the levels of toxicity in the party on this.
This is excellent from @ShabanaMahmood. It's great to see female shadow cabinet members clearly expressing their gender critical view that gender identity cannot replace sex in society and saying JK Rowling has been leading the debate in this area. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
“Their own” here is, as ever, a tell about how some insist, subconsciously or otherwise, on seeing Diaspora Jews.
Of course I know how Jewish Brits feel about 7/10 and aftermath, though most such I know are ashamed of their own disreputable Netanyahu government, but often don’t say openly because of the war. I expect you know that too
This protest did not take place after Israel responded to the Hamas attack or after the war began. This protest was on October 7th. Hours after Hamas massacred 1,200 civilians and r*ped women, thousands took to the streets of London to condemn Israel- the victim of the attack.
I must say, I had forgotten how much better at scandals the Tories are. This is 90s level.
Holy fuck
