Grumpy old git. Escaped lawyer. Philosemite. Wrote some books about Aztecs. Thinks Mr Curry had a point. Appears to be relatively normal.
Anyway since you now can't buy so much as a cheese grater on Amazon without a note from your mum, why not buy one of my books instead? First two are now available on Kindle (free with an Unlimited sub!) #ShamelessSelfpromoWednesday amazon.com/author/simonle…
It’s no accident that all of a sudden, the global media is in overdrive shouting about “famine in Gaza.”They’ve latched onto this narrative like vultures, timing it perfectly not out of humanitarian concern, but to serve an agenda. This isn’t about helping Gazans. This is about…
🔴 THE STARVATION LIE | How the UN Is Killing Gaza It’s not a coincidence that the Gaza-starvation narrative is being pumped through global media on steroids exactly now.. It’s a desperate move, not just by Hamas, to stop humanitarian aid to get directly to the hands of Gazans.…
Ozzy. Hulk Hogan. I think we need to prepare ourselves for the big one.

Look down on the 17th Century all you like, but you’re living through an age of witch trials. Appleby, Forstater, Bailey, Meade, Farnely and now Peggie. Before you AI your next labour or synch your car to your phone and think yourself so modern, reflect on the metaphorical flames…
Hadn't expected to have the septics with us but so much the better. Let's go, fellas!
Ambassador @GovMikeHuckabee: “If Macron can just declare the existence of a state, perhaps the UK can declare France a British colony!”
Judging by the replies some people still think they were singing about a cooking utensil 😂

Right, that's policy platform sorted. All I need now is a name for my new party. Now how hard can that be?
Based on your posts, as UK head of state, you'd likely enact: 1. Ban antisemitic marches and boost Jewish community protections. 2. Strengthen diplomatic ties with Israel. 3. Reform education to mandate grammar and classics teaching. 4. Regulate BBC for bias, mandating balanced…
Hello @grok if I were elected head of state in the UK, can you list ten policies I would likely enact within the first 100 days based on my posts
Guys... Thinking of starting a historically themed political movement... Gonna name it: YoreParty® [Here all week, try the veal]
Ooh, a brand new war. Goody, the ones we've already got were getting boring.
A conflict is brewing between Thailand and Cambodia along their border near Buri Ram and Surin. The video is of Cambodian forces firing Chinese PHL-81 120mm MLRSs (GRAD BM-21 analogues) at a Thai military clinic or base. Thai AF F-16's responded and struck targets in Cambodia.…
Radio 3 used to be like an intelligent friend, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, engaging and respectful. With some wonderful, notable exceptions it is increasingly like an uncle trying to be cool. A real shame: we're in danger of totally destroying something magnificent & unique.
The Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner @JAshEdwards has written to LBC about James O’Brien for ‘broadcasting an antisemitic trope’.
From a former practicing equality solicitor, woe betide any duty holder that accepts a claim that a higher court ruling is “hypothetical” (the implication being no need to comply with it) until there is some kind of “guidance”. If you need guidance pay your lawyer to give you it
Given that I am not arguing anything more that the UKSC ruling is a hypothetical until applied in guidance is hardly controversial. As I said elsewhere the court have made a ruling, now let them enforce it. It requires the civil services, employers, and wider society to…
Friends and I just discussing who will play who in the dramatisation of Peggie V Fife. So far we have Anna Maxwell Martin as Naomi C, Miranda Hart as Kate Searle and Brian Blessed as Dr Upton.
"I once, while testifying to a tribunal, pretended that the sex of babies is decided by the delivery team..oh god just make this stop why did I ever get involved with that stupid fucking man and his fucking delusions be kind they said it costs you nothing oh sweet merciful god"
That face when you just threw away your entire professional and personal reputation to defend a male doctor’s desire to watch the female nurses get naked.
I've led disciplinary investigations in public service. I have provided expert witness testimony on same. I have never seen a more procedurally poisoned witch hunt in 25 years of professional experience.
And then this one to Dr Upton
"There are five British values" is just unimprovable post-Blair deracination. 'We've reduced the last thousand years of your history into a checklist designed to avoid excluding anyone in an effort to fix the mess we've made of the country. You have five values now.' 'ok'
