With Dickhead Dugher in charge of UK Music, having sworn to discover the new Beatles, all is lost, with or without Noel Gallagher's tax returns.

good luck rest of the world, if you can envisage a future without britpop, landfill, reduced attack, Ed Sheeran, fucking Geldof etc...

It didn't. However I think it's important that the apparently 99% of the population who don't know the scale of casualties in our most recent war be brought up to date with exactly how high they were, and still waiting for a politician to make a good attempt at this.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 7 October 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link

i think it quite likely that a large chunk of uk voters dont know how high they are but its hardly 99%

also May said that maintaining relations with them is the best way of (making a fucking mint selling weapons of death to them) being able to challenge them on human rights issues. Still not heard her condemnation of their cold blooded murder yet.

In August 2010, Cleverly posted a tweet in which he called Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes "a dick".

Beeb hack OTM

nashwan, Monday, 8 October 2018 13:05 (five years ago) link

Unmentioned is that Cleverly initially called Hughes "some dicks" before realising he was but a singular entity and eventually corrected himself.

nashwan, Monday, 8 October 2018 13:07 (five years ago) link

He thought it was a group of men all named Simon Hugh sharing a prominent position in the Lib Dems?

Zach Same (Tom D.), Monday, 8 October 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link

I think my fave Cleverly moment was him claiming his party had "disproportionately suffered" from the impact of The Troubles - absolute classic, even Liz Truss blazing away on the crackpipe whilst on twitter couldn't top that.

calzino, Monday, 8 October 2018 14:53 (five years ago) link

I'm almost certain that Liz Truss will be the Tory leader eventually.

I think Gove has been borrowing some of her drugs, after his ingenious plan to contract out some regional flood defences to a couple of beavers, now he has a vision of middle class homeowners scavenging knackered old electrical goods from rubbish dumps!

calzino, Monday, 8 October 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link

Sure this is just gove getting real about the ability to import such things post Brexit.

nashwan, Monday, 8 October 2018 20:17 (five years ago) link

There is an electrical device fix-it whizz across the road from me known as Pete the Geek, who leaves the odd tv or whatever is truly knackered + ready for the electronic graveyard outside the front of his house for the scrappers. Any still functional stuff he will sell on e-bay - I didn't think ppl threw stuff away that still actually works these days, but maybe soon we all become scrappers!

calzino, Monday, 8 October 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link

Our local fixit shop is called Total Recoil, which makes me smile when I walk past.

‘If people are willing to pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds for football season tickets, then seeking to have a fair price for a work of great curatorial brilliance and collections, doesn’t seem to be wrong.’

stout defender of free museums Tristam Hunt definitely talks like someone who would prefer less of the type of people also priced out of football getting any access to them.

Been getting targeted ads for the tories in my FB feed. Seems they have finally woken up to "we need some voters under 50", though not enough to actually change any of their policy.

Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 08:24 (five years ago) link

hey, they're claiming the centre ground, it said so in the Graun

Leon Carrotsky (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 08:30 (five years ago) link

lately R4 has been running lots of features on the inequities of UC/PIP etc.. I'd like to think they are finding it harder to prop up these horrible things because attitudes are changing. But a grumpy encounter with this ignorant twat of a bus driver earlier has me feeling that 90% of bus drivers are vermin and hate disabled people and are very much fairly representative of the UK electorate rn. I think the Tories will be quite happy to carry on as per, just with a bit of One Nation all-in-this-together Cameron 2015 type lip service to how moderate they are next to Corbyn's "extremism".

calzino, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 09:52 (five years ago) link

i went to the v&a on friday. the ticket price was 18 quid or 20 quid if i wanted to support the museum. which suggests the 18 pounds isn't supporting the museum, or not enough anyway. so why not make it 20 quid and stop faffing with the optional bit?

the people on the counter can't like asking people and people don't like refusing, doesn't seem worth it.

18 quid is about 2 hours wages for a lot of people, and it only took me an hour to walk around it.

koogs, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 09:54 (five years ago) link

Tristam only wants the V+A to connect with ppl that shop at John Lewis and are Chelsea season ticket holders!

calzino, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 10:04 (five years ago) link

Well, museums like the V&A and Tates are free (I don’t know anyone except for tourists who pay the ‘suggested donation’) but headline shows like the Turner Prize, the Bowie retrospective or Frida Kahlo start at £15, which is expensive enough.

suzy, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 11:02 (five years ago) link

last time I went to the Tate Modern was for an amazing Bruce Nauman exhibition. Loved the building so much as well. The only thing I didn't love was my kid accidentally bumping into a sourfaced Dave Stewart and not knocking the tosser over!
