I just coined the term 'imperial showrunner' for individuals like Shonda Rhimes, Taylor Sheridan and Ryan Murphy. I think it makes me really clever.

Even the most crass, brickbat 1980s dystopian satire - not Robocop, not Repo Man - can compete with the fucking avalanche of stupidity and nihilism we're living through.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

They shouldn't exist. Turn them into affordable housing.

Personally I enjoy a grinding sense of inevitability in horror. It should always feel like a trap closing.

It's all so fucking OLD, Craig. That's what I can't get over. It's all twinkly and menacing and huge, but these are knackered, shopworn ideas that have been discredited over and over again. I'm terrified yet somehow also bored shitless. It's like a crappy pub tribute band.

Do not speak to anyone wearing smart glasses until they remove them. Even if the wearer doesn't intend to capture the conversation, everything they see is being recorded - and in a lot of cases annotated - by human operators.

There is a damn good reason why we've spent the last 1000 years dismantling the divine right of kings.
We thought we'd finally put the bastard to bed in 1789, but it always comes back in modified form.
