People from outside Ireland occasionally ask me, "Why is Bono, an international music titan from Ireland, not all that loved in Ireland?". The answer in its entirety is a complex one, but "He sent Dolly Parton a birthday cake and put his own name on it" goes a long way to summing it up.

In 2018, the last year I lived in London, my British-Bangladeshi colleague invited me to his wedding. He was marrying his British-Albanian fiancée. I went with a Jamaican colleague and a Pakistani colleague (both naturalised with British-born kids). That’s London to me 🇬🇧

Following on from Girl Guiding making a similar statement - this is because these community groups cannot match the legal fees that transphobes are able to fund. They would rather these community groups fall to financial ruin that accept trans women.
A lot of these legal funds come from JK Rowling.

I think the key problem here is a continuing assumption, in traditional media, that when the White House speaks on a major topic, this is a big news story.
That model can't cope with a president with no regard for truth, who's in constant broadcast mode, & who veers around from one day to another.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Just a reminder that this is how a lot of people in the ancient world saw the heroes of myth. In this case, this is a Theban portrayal of Odysseus and Circe.

The reason The Fantastic 4 is not yet rated is the six minutes of penetrative sex between Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal. Ben Grimm watching is the problem, I’m told.
