As the frontman of Buzzcocks, Pete Shelley sought to challenge 1970s punk machismo with his songs, which often related to his own bisexuality. Thursday 2nd May (2:30-4pm), join us to see more of Pete Shelley, among others, in an LGBTQ+ collection encounter. Free, just drop in.
"1991" always throws me. Then I go and look things up and discover all over again that Little and Large still had a primetime show on BBC1 less than four months before On The Hour launched. And then I actually lose motor function and keel over and lie on the floor for a while. x.com/russty_russ/st…
It *is* objectively more appealing than any properly completed election leaflet, though, isn't it? "We've done 4 issues" is not only drastically less toxic than most of what they put out these days, but also less evasive.

I hated the Millennium Dome. But if they'd sold it on the basis "Just a big indoor events arena, but if we start by filling it with stupid crap for 12 months, we can have some fun confusing the bejesus out of young people in 25 years' time", I wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Britannia Hotels is a UK-wide blight, but its offering to NW England in particular seems to be "We will make your iconic buildings dangerous and appalling." It concerns me that the powers devolved to metro mayors do not categorically include "running these goons out on a rail".

This whole thread…
The answer is that their extensive and elaborate market research operations tell them that, given today's audiences, they can expect a greater return on investment from making other kinds of film than from making films like those. Write that down so you don't have to ask again.

I'll just leave this here again:
A significant element of the far right (including its journalistic component) hates the police and likes trying to endanger police officers. A lot of people on my side choose not to process this fact, as though to do so would make them somehow pro-police, which is a bit odd.

This is what universities should be doing, individually, in their mission groups and as an entire sector. Every single day, fire back within minutes and attack the root of the campaign against them. 👇
