And the BAFTA goes to... huge congratulations to Dean Atta and the team behind Two Black Boys In Paradise, WINNER of the Best British Short Animation. A joy to see Dean's poem from 'There is (still) love here' brought to life like this.

While I have sympathy for the guy with Tourette’s based on my limited understanding of the condition, the way people are bending over backwards to excuse the racism Michael and Delroy were exposed to on a globally televised stage is actually pissing me off.

The Times, 30th January 2026: "All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why. A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now." Source: https://archive.is/hvRv2
"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs."

It only took them the best part of a decade. 🥲
Hope all the victims get justice and the people at the publisher who paid off the victims and covered his back are also held accountable.
Currently reading this. I think everyone in the UK who has any involvement with comics - be that making them, publishing them, selling them, loaning them, using them in classrooms - should probably read it. Will post thoughts later.
Just a reminder to support small businesses this time of year!
