3 strikes and you're out.
If you're looking for an "argument" I have rules.

If after 3 exchanges I consider you to be arguing in bad faith - strawmen, whataboutery, ignoring actual content, etc - I routinely block. Life's too short😎

What a fantastic day at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from Prince William. I was dead nervous beforehand, but was then ok chatting with him about football and our work with the homeless over the last 10 years at the Macari Centre.

Windsor is one of the nicest places and when I walked out of my hotel to cross the road to the castle there were six homeless people. The castle was 30 yards away. We just have to keep going to try to make whatever difference we can.

Booker prize winner 2026, M John Harrison told me on @BBCNewshour that early drafts of his prize winning book, The End of Everything, spent years in a drawer, before he returned to it again. He shared this advice to aspiring writers. @TheBookerPrizes.

No, stop being silly. If my kids had drawn that at 12, using any method other than outright tracing, I'd have been gobsmacked.

Your name is the single most personal thing you own, and you had no say in choosing it.

I am currently working on an expanded and illustrated edition of my Modern Occultism. Watch for it late next year. I am sharing this interview from when the book first appeared because—in a pleasingly short space—it responds to every question, from curious to contentious, people seem to have about my work and outlook. https://t.co/gnTLjy6NuG

In a world in which paedophilia-apologist Stephen Fry gets knighted and paedophilia-advocate Peter Tatchell is continually interviewed on TV ....the abusive behaviour of celebrities should be no surprise. 👇👇👇

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

I had no idea how fascinated I was by concrete, until David Byrne explained the Pantheon, highway overpasses and self-healing lime clasts. It's all in his predictably unpredictable new book, “Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up.”

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

We didn’t come to Berlin to tear down Germany’s flag. We came to ask Germany and other European countries to stand with us in tearing down the walls of dictatorship.

Thank you to the President of the German Bundestag, @JuliaKloeckner, for giving me the opportunity to bring fearless women dissidents from Iran, Afghanistan, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America into the heart of German democracy, the Bundestag, in the presence of the Presidents of both the German Bundestag and the French National Assembly.

At the Freedom and Security Women Summit, I delivered a direct challenge to Western feminists and leaders of democratic nations.

If you think Russell Brand was targeted because he was speaking up against "the establishment" then someone needs to cut your sandwiches into circles for you so that you don't hurt yourself on the corners.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

My brother in arms, Garry Kasparov, could not join us in Berlin Freedom week that we created together because of serious threats to his life. Putin’s regime still wants him dead.

When a dictator fears your voice so much that he wants to silence you forever, that is a badge of honor.

Garry, they may keep you away from the room, but they will never silence your voice.

Lucy Beaumont deserves to be on every single TV show for the rest of her career. #SkyNews

[Deano @deanrayson]

Absolutely choked listening to #LucyBeaumont talk on Sky just now. The most brutally honest interview without getting herself into legal trouble. If she’s correct about having no more TV work for speaking out, the TV world is dirtier than we all could have imagined

🇺🇸Trump: "I created the lowest fuel cost ever."

🇺🇸 Reporter: "That's not true."

🇺🇸 Trump: "What?"

🇺🇸 Reporter: "Gas was $3 per gallon when Biden left office. Now it is $4 per gallon."

🇺🇸 Trump: "Shut up. You are fake news."

🇺🇸 Reporter🔥: "And You are a big Clown."

American journalists just discovered they have backbones.

Dänemarks Premierministerin:

„Dies sollte der am einfachsten zu beendende Krieg sein. Es gibt ein Land, das aggressiv auftritt und einen umfassenden Krieg begonnen hat, und es gibt ein Opfer. Es sind nicht zwei Länder, die in diesen Krieg eingetreten sind.“

Genau.

[Ian Glendinning @psybertron]

Very unrehearsed, emotionally authentic testimony from Lucy.
Proper understanding of "safeguarding" from real life experience.

She's right about a "window of opportunity".

[Cathy Newman @cathynewman]

Many have been asking for a link to my interview with comedian Lucy Beaumont about the #Walliams allegations (which he denies). Here it is:

A reminder that Neil Oliver is only relevant for getting the roaring cunt ripped out of him on Burnistoun years ago.
