Allsopp appears to be a very dim person. Not the first time she's tweeted something horribly stupid and doubled down on it.

This is Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt and he thinks it’s ok to hit a horse over the head. Make this ‘man’ famous.

Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Which is why I recommend @bankuet.bsky.social, and additionally they enable food banks to get what they are short of.
This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

The man with the job of enforcing impartiality at the BBC is former head of comms to a rightwing Tory prime minister. Let's leave it there, OK?

Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump.
Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

So how popular would smashing the BBC to please Donald Trump be with the wider electorate? I mean, people by and large like the BBC, or at least an idea of the BBC. And they don't like Donald Trump, like, at all. So I get that Farage and other X-addled madmen will be all in, but who else wants this?

When your nan can't watch Cash in the Attic. When Traitors has gone. When GB News replaces Newsnight. When Antiques Roadshow and Strictly Come Dancing disappear from the box - all so that Donald Trump can sit on some fuck off gold throne and mock Britain - d'ya think people will be happier?
