Worth remembering Paul Doyle, a white, English businessman & former Royal Marine who undertook an atrocity on the streets of Liverpool May 26th is being sentenced today. Inadequate, angry men willing to maim & kill as many as they can with whatever tools are at hand exist in every culture & country.
The lads have bullshat themselves into a position where they have to stick to the story, no matter what, forever. Not one step backwards about any of this, not one admission of error or guilt, until everyone who was involved is retired or dead.

He’s laundered a genocide. He demonises desperate people seeking asylum. He panders to Reform at the expense of people of colour. He’s implementing transphobic policies. He cuts benefits for disabled people. “Inoffensive”? He’s deeply offensive if you are affected by any of this (Lewis isn’t)
How can this inoffensive man have become so viscerally loathed?

On the subject of BBC bias, I’d just say that I’m pretty sure they haven’t had the same kind of conversation with regular contributor Sharron Davies that they’ve had with Robin outlined below.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Also should you want a cartoon the peerless Halas & Batchelor film is right there. Based on the trailer, this seems to go off-topic into territory done better in Chicken Run 1 & 2 and The Mitchells vs the Machines.
Animal Farm is a crap book. Its fans argue that it's a kids' story *and* a political allegory, which they have to do because it doesn't work as either individually. No kid ever asked their parents to reread it to them and the USSR bit fails because it's written by a "socialist" who hated socialism.

It's incredible this debate has even happened without seemingly a single mainstream British commentator noting that Scotland just made Scots and Gaelic official languages and *well over half* of Glaswegians speak Scots as their first language
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Since I was just confronted with him again on the TL, your occasional reminder that Mr Blobby was a prank; wildly annoying, obviously naff, intended to test the patience & credulity of tv professionals. The fact that Brits unironically loved him tells you everything about the national character.

Alt: In a clip from the sci-fi tv series “Doctor Who”, actor Peter Capaldi in the role of The Doctor spreads his arms and declares “… what a dump.” while exiting a car in a grey British urban environment.

I specifically had to frame it in terms of breaking customers’ trust. If a customer sees a corp’s AI photo/video, and clocks it as fake, they can’t trust that the company’s services actually provide real results either. They feel lied to, and won’t buy
(Which *should* seem obvious from jump, but 🤷)
