I called them “The News Idiots” yesterday when I suppose I should have called them “The News Bastards.” They’re so committed to feminism one of the guys was once exposed at the BBC for earning way more money than a woman doing the same job!

Gonna spend all day commuting in the dark, on the tube and in an office. Thank the Lord Atheismo for vitamin D supplements.

Renewables are the future
Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

Thanks for proving their point, you racist clown
Maybe they should leave the UK, then. This is our flag, if they "immigrated here" they should feel proud to see it.

In 2017 Labour under Corbyn got 41% of the vote despite the party machine working against him. It was Momentum volunteers who got him to that level. Of course the greens have a much lower baseline than Labour but they could easily outperform the polls

I love they used to have signs on the station platform telling you where to get on and then just paved them over

Guys does it mean something if you have difficulty socialising after 7pm because I want to make incoherent barking noises?

Take a look round social media and you’ll see the Trump fans think it was about the Donald; the terves think it was about gender and Israel partisans think they’ve shattered Hamas. And they’re all correct in a way, because it’s another win for the global fascist movement that they’re all part of.

Has the “you need to act like a normal person and stop taking these fascist freaks seriously” message sunk in?
Jeffries: “Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously…I'm not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz, who is woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke. These people are all jokes.”

Absolutely breathtaking
When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

Some Dutch American guy was chatting up my friend in Manchester and clearly getting something until he mentioned he voted for Trump and she literally turned her back on him. Trump voters might as well spray acid on their penises - they’d be more attractive to women.

Another whopper from the MEN. The British press is an absolute sewer of lies, bullshit and unadulterated hatred of minorities. They want to turn TV into the same.
November 10, 2025 at 12:47 PM
Even this defence just makes a vague reference to "trans rights" when we can all see what is happening here: unrepentant queer bashers wanting to use the BBC to humiliate us - especially trans people. And it seems absolutely nobody, not even the so-called "left" are on our side.
November 10, 2025 at 11:25 AM
Just unmitigated bullshit upon bullshit. What has "woke" got to do with a pisspoor edit of Donald Trump? These ghouls are so fucking dishonest!!!!

"[name of someone famous and vaguely progressive with a snappy turn of phrase] should run for Director General of the BBC!" like that's how it works and like they won't shove in some absolute nazi who loves rich people and hates trans women and Palestinians just like before but even more this time.
November 10, 2025 at 10:32 AM
Nobody believes Donald Trump cares about BBC accuracy. Nobody. It's fucking bullshit and it's enraging listening to people pretend to take it seriously.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

She uses the word "impartiality" here, but what Sonia Sodha wants from the BBC Director General isn't impartiality at all.
