Though I'll avoid doing it from the top of a railway cutting.

No Digging: The Story of the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas - Jon Dear Interview | Derby QUAD View our latest event: No Digging: The Story of the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas - Jon Dear Interview. See what the available times are for this event.

One week until I’ll be chatting with Mark Norman about my forthcoming book on the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas at QUAD in Derby.

And it’s just one event amongst a plethora of eldritch endeavours at this year’s UK Ghost Story Festival

Even the Countryside Alliance must be getting tired of this nonsense.

The hunt has little to do with the 'rural way of life'. The vast majority of rural people object to it.

There is no culture war. If the hunt hadn't spent two decades flouting existing laws trail hunting wouldn't be in focus now.

It's Brendan, high on a lifetime of huffing his own farts and thinking they're perfume.

Buying into Prince Andrew now being 'Andrew Mountbatten Windsor' is political and palace sleight of hand, and plays into the suggestion he isn't exactly what he is. The son of a prince, the brother of a prince, the uncle of a prince, the father of princesses.

He's not the glitch. He's the product.

If you'd like to back the call to end the hunt without going through the ad-infested hell that is any UK local newspaper, then the direct link is here.

Real story is that the man was tired because of a long day at work, and had forgotten to take off his HMRC name badge.

If only he'd grappled a little more with his conscience when deciding to overlook the significant amount of evidence already in the public domain when choosing to appoint a child rapist's bootlicker to the highest diplomatic role in the country.

After a pause of a couple of days to allow for any destruction of evidence, of course.

Labour owes debt to giant of politics in modern era Mandelson has been on the right side of every important argument in the politics of the left since the 1990s

Just read Matthew Parris' obsequious hagiography of child-rapist-bootlicker Mandelson claiming the future will judge us badly for removing Petey from the Lords because he's tewwibly clever.

Matthew, the present, along with me, is judging you badly for this, right now. Very very badly. Vile.

Imagine Mandelson is under a lot of stress right now so just as well his husband is a trained osteopath.

I’ve written this lengthy FT analysis overnight about the multiple multi-thousand pound Epstein payments to Mandelson’s husband

these particular paragraphs are worth reading slowly

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.
