Yeah, you're not alone in that reaction dude. I've been there. I find it easier when I approach the complaint not with the expectation of making them see sense or change course, but solely to make them squirm in attempting to reconcile their conduct with their editorial guidelines.

That's exactly right but it isn't pointless. If enough people complain it forces them to take a position publicly.

See:
www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

And articulated positions can be called out for hypocrisy or double standards, to the BBC or Ofcom. Unarticulated positions can't.

Streeting is execrable and as bad as Starmer on a number of fronts.

Except Gaza, because he was almost defenestrated by an anti-genocide independent at the last election.

So he'd be an improvement.

Quick reminder that Hamas only ever rose to power and stayed there because that's exactly what Israel wanted.

Crippling the Russian economy wouldn't affect ordinary Russians? Mmkay.

It would, because that's how sanctions work. It's kind of the point.

My point is that the government are hypocrites for smearing those that want to sanction Israel as antisemites whilst doing this.

Squid Neurone @squidneurone.bsky.social · 2d

Sounds Russophobic. Punishing all Russians for the actions of the Russian government.

Right, @itvpeston.bsky.social ?

Oh it's even more cynical than that! If Zohran had won without the minority leader's endorsement, it shows very publicly that the minority leader has absolutely zero authority, and zero respect amongst the democratic base. He's trying to avoid a primary challenge. And he's too late.

Squid Neurone @squidneurone.bsky.social · 2d

He obviously was. Hence only endorsing the official democratic party nominee at the 11th hour when it's virtually certain that he'll win.

They shot a suicidal man and tried to make themselves look better by making people think he was trying to kill someone. Absolutely fucking outrageous.

Squid Neurone @squidneurone.bsky.social · 2d

Wait, the Met received a report that the man "may harm himself?"

Their deeply fucking misleading statement previously was that he was making "threats to kill".

A formulation which almost everyone would read as "threats to kill (another person)".

My guy. The idea that this election result portends Labour benefiting from tactical voting at the next election is ridiculous on its face.

Labour were on the ballot.

They got 11%.

They came third.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

Imagine being an amnesiac adult, with no understanding of contemporary political dynamics, learning about politics for the first time, and realising the conservative party are racist incompetent shills in real time.

That's what it's been like for Labour supporters since 2022. With Labour.

When you reflect that this Islamophobic racism is coming from a centrist (former) senior Democrat, it becomes easier to understand how it is that a centrist Democratic administration facilitated a genocide in Palestine. The bigotry is as mainstream as its consequences are predictable.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 3d

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."
