I struggle to equate Neil’s skill and intuitive neutrality as a BBC interviewer, and as the presenter of This Week, a show I loved, with his reign as the overlord of the swamp of bad faith that is the Spectator.

Of all the calls on
@mrjamesob
show last year, the one that has stuck with me the most is the one in which someone pointed out that all modern day conspiracy theories have cribbed the plots of crappy late 20th Century sci-fi. V was one of them. I can’t stop thinking about it.

, James you're probably all over this, but just in case here's an article from the New Yorker which comes as close as is legally possible to explaining where Arron Banks got his eight million roub... er, pounds from. Enjoy. I trust all is well.

Twenty years ago today, I boarded a flight to Los Angeles for my first ever job for Kerrang!, a magazine for which I’d longed to write since I was 14. Two decades, thousands of miles, and many hundreds of features later, I’m still there.

I won’t keep going about this - by which I mean, I’ll never stop going on about it - but the new Bodies is out today. Not only does it come with a brand new chapter and fresh colour scheme, but it’s four pounds cheaper than the original. That’s practically Trussonomics, that is.

The piece also rather skirts around the fact that one major reason other men are yet to be held to account is because Maxwell has (so far) refused to drop the dime on them.

It’s because we all know someone like that, and it says so much about them. It’s the same with people who are rude to waitresses and waiters.

A member of last night’s audience, age 6, told me that onstage in Cheshire last night I swore three times, while
@frankturner
did so 84 times. I told him not to use that kind of language in school, and he told me to go fuck myself. (Okay, I made up that last bit.)

Yes they do. I had a wedding cancelled at 22 hours’ notice that very weekend. Bad enough, sure, but it’s way down the running order of people’s stories of personal sacrifice.

She’s been denied a right to return to the country of her birth for the crime of falling prey to a cult. As a child. It’s a shocking decision.

I am really taken aback by this kind message from one of rock music’s most fluent and talented songwriters. (Hear the chorus to The Jackson Whites, by The Wildhearts, for just one of many examples.) With great thanks to lifer

Man, this has been a really shitty day, hasn’t it. I hope everybody reading this is alright, and holding on tight. With laughter and focus, we will push through. This isn’t the kind of thing I normally say, but, you know... There is power in a union.

I have been joking with audiences that the show comprises us "talking bollocks." But tonight I'm attending an event at which Boris Johnson will speak, who I'm sure will make me and Frank look like amateurs.
