Wishing the absolute worst day to whichever soulless ghoul came up with the idea of using dementia to sell fucking Dairy Milk.

@ChasGardener @skdh Sorry babe, that's just my northern white man genes at their most powerful.

@JMRGBY_ *And Demons with Fatboy Slim which I honestly still think slaps.

But yes total garbage person.

@JMRGBY_ You're a very modern girl.

@skdh Musk is lying yes, but even Pie centres the relatively tangential issue of some social workers worrying about being perceived as racist and not the fact that our institutions treated these young women as undeserving of their protection because they weren’t “good victims”.

[Christopher Marsland @ChristopherMars]

@skdh What’s infuriating (as someone who worked in Nazir Afzal’s office when these men were finally charged) is that the media continues to obsess about their rapists’ race, rather than how sexism and classism towards the victims is the real reason their exploitation was ignored.

@JamesFl Who doesn’t lock their car in Sainsbury’s car park at Christmas?

@DOPreston I love this song. I need to do a Joan Armatrading deep dive.

@nmcinroy and industry, because for those making decisions it was the city and its financial power that was always the most important thing. The question that poses is at what stage of imperial dissolution is London's status as a significant financial centre endagered?

[Christopher Marsland @ChristopherMars]

@nmcinroy Read something in a book of Peter Turchin's recently about how elites never really change their core cultural ideology, which makes me think the British state is incapable of questioning the role of those foundational institutions. Which would explain our retreat from empire...

@JMRGBY_ Rub together in acrylic mesh fabrics so sparks fly?

@philbc3 Every time a right wing grifter tweets I understand the Roman Empire more and more.

@NoJusticeMTG If ever there was a reason for this gif it is now.

@mlothianmclean Manchester is “party” as pronounced by Frank Gallagher at the start of every episode of shameless.

@JMRGBY_ Hello Mabel! Aren’t you lovely yes you are yes you are!

@meakoopa As a fan of whorish antics I'm asking you to please show us your android blood?

[Christopher Marsland @ChristopherMars]

@TaylorWDriggers One that’s completely passed me by but that comment and reading the blurb it’s gone right to the top of my wish list.

@carto_graph A slight weakness of this is that "Inter Ripam et Marsham" has no administration at all, although that would be quite funny.

[Christopher Marsland @ChristopherMars]

@AntBreach @CentreforCities Ant I meant to ask when CfC published this but I forgot: are all the authorities in the metro regions large enough to operate like the existing metropolitan boroughs, or would they need boundary changes too?

[Christopher Marsland @ChristopherMars]

@PhilipProudfoot Also loving the dig at Manchester in the replies, like everything outside London is obviously a cultural and culinary desert.
