So we finally decided Black Mirror S4 episode sequence is:
1. USS Callister
2. ArkAngel
3. Crocodile
4. Hang the DJ
5. Metalhead
6. Black Museum
(but tbh you can watch them in whatever flippin' order you like)
FACT CHECK: Michael Gove failed to become leader of the Conservative Party and therefore sadly does not qualify for a leaders’ debate on climate change.
PM's chief adviser did travel from London to County Durham during lockdown when he and his wife had coronavirus to stay in a separate building at his family's farm, a source close to him confirms - source says it is not true that he was spoken to by police ...
That such life-or-death stuff is being passed to lobby journalists with no scientific background, rather than explained directly to the public by the govt is bewildering and obscene.
Revealed: elderly to be quarantined at home or in care homes for four months, in "wartime-style" mobilisation to combat Coronavirus. Full details here.

@CharltonBrooker
has been lured out of isolation, to go into isolation for the one-off Charlie Brooker's
#AntiviralWipe
, and he'll be joined (figuratively) by Philomena Cunk and Barry Shitpeas:
Just want to take a moment to thank our entire
#AntiviralWipe
team for pulling together and working so diligently and brilliantly on this very unusual show.
I know how ill coronavirus makes you. It was entirely right for Dom Cummings to find childcare for his toddler, when both he and his wife were getting ill.
#AntiviralWipe
is on BBC2 at 9pm TONIGHT - It’s 45 minutes of hopefully cathartic Wipe-flavoured FUN including Cunk and Shitpeas and the whole damn thing.
This is sinister. Without prior knowledge or permission from schools, these messages are being beamed onto 3,000 primary school digital noticeboards across the UK.
Propaganda, pure and simple - and that doesn't belong in a school.
Boris Johnson is a z-grade character-comedian and embarrassingly poor writer who deserves nothing but casual scorn or disinterest, and any journalist who still calls him ‘Boris’ should be classed as a vacuous cheerleader and ignored forever.
A full, frank, honest and open statement from Dominic Cummings. He acted as a father and husband, within the rules.
He has had lots of mis information put out there about him.
Time to move on and focus on solving this massive national challenge of Covid19

psst I’ve locked the replies so it’s just you and me & I’m *pretty* sure that means no-one else can see this. Just a friendly tip - the more you defend this, the more this gets worse than the expenses scandal. Back out while you still can LOL! Ok bye mate 🤞
Ironically, this is precisely the sort of thing you’d get if you fed the original interview (for Empire magazine, out tomorrow!) into ChatGPT and asked it to generate a wilfully misleading clickbait headline.
Maybe I’m tired and acting out-of-character this morning but sitting at my desk watching this just made me literally weep with bittersweet relief in a way I hadn’t anticipated.
The sole upside of living through this humblingly shitty era is knowing you’ll *probably* get to witness arrogant thicko Dominic Cummings’ inevitable comeuppance five minutes before a blinding white flash in the sky.
Protecting one’s family is what any good parent does. The
@10DowningStreet
statement clarifies the situation and it is wholly inappropriate to politicise it.
BREAKING: A Durham Police investigation has concluded that Dominic Cummings DID breach lockdown rules when he drove to Barnard Castle, the Telegraph has learned
With that in mind, I will now make an optimistic prediction in the hope it also comes true: we’ll come out the other side of the coronavirus crisis a more empathetic, altruistic, and globally conscious society.
Hopefully tonight’s
#AntiviralWipe
will make you laugh at some point. If it doesn’t, switch it off and watch something that will, because YOU DESERVE A LAUGH. BBC2 9pm.
