Lads. You don't understand. It's the /Twaite Shad/. We have to make a nuclear power station much harder and more expensive to build because of the Twait Shad's conservation status. What conservation status? Oh

This Two Ronnies sketch was never televised originally (it appeared many years later), but I’ve no idea why. It was written by Ronnie Barker, under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley, and for my money it gives Four Candles a run for it’s money. Seriously, if I’d written something this good I’d just retire immediately.

What a talent!

Good morning.

The elections watchdog for England and Wales has said it is considering whether to look into the £5m given to Nigel Farage before the last general election.

Reform UK mega donor Christopher Harborne gave the money to Farage in early 2024.

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.

Calling a Tube strike in late April seems incredibly self defeating. Oh no I’m going to have to e-bike along the river through this magnificent city in the spring sunshine

The names of kings have been worn away by the sands of time. Gods once feared are forgotten. Monuments to the immortality of civilizations now shattered into the cobblestones of another. But one man shall survive forever because he was a really, really shitty copper merchant.

I think a huge part of the reason why no government has been able to enact difficult pro-growth reforms is that the average voter still believes we remain a rich country.

You hear this in politicians’ rhetoric “the sixth richest country in the world”.

We’re the sixth largest economy but now far from the richest. Per capita we’re tanking down the rankings.

One of the reasons why Poland or China have been able to have growth miracles in recent years is they think like a developing country.

They know they were poor and they have to build to get rich.

We think we are rich and that we don’t have to build anything anymore, or that when we do, it has to be the most expensive possible version of what we build.

Bat tunnels. Fish Discos. Kittiwake hotels.

We think we’re rich so we can afford to chase some wealth creators away, afford to mandate public biodiversity net gain on every development in the country, and afford to ratchet up state pension spending five times faster than the rate of growth in the economy.

We’re suffering from acute ‘rich country delusion’.

It’s only once we realise we’re far poorer than we should be that we can start to fix this nonsense.

If Iran posted: "There is no guarantee the plane carrying US diplomats will land safely," Every Western government would call it an act of terrorism. Every headline would say "Iran threatens to murder diplomats."

There would be emergency UN Security Council sessions. An Israeli account posted the same threat about Iranian diplomats, no UN session. No condemnation. No headline. That asymmetry IS the story.
