I hope they have Maggie themed piñatas. I always wanted to hit a Tory with a stick.

How to get me to trust the BBC again:
Step 1: Get rid of Tim Davie and all the other TERs.
We’ll decide on the other steps as we work on making it happen.

Yeah, their continuous “Both sides” stance is really pissing me off, where an opposing view, no matter how batshit and obviously untrue/evil, is given equal provenance.
And they never ask the questions they should be asking, as they’re all upper-middle class wankers far too concerned with being polite and following protocol these days.
Lyse Doucet kicks arse however.

I have never needed a puke emoji quite so badly.
It’s so bad that it’s the highest upvoted comment by a mile on that story:
“If someone says it’s raining, but another person says it’s dry, the job of journalists is not to strike a balance between them, it’s to look out of the ******* window to see who is correct.”
The BBC and several other media outlets could do with learning this.

Oh, do come on. I if anybody ever rightfully deserved to be put under a pedestal, it was The Right Honourable Baroness Thatcher, LG OM DStJ PC FRS HonFRSC, I’m sure.

Both siderism would be an improvement. Instead we have fascists and transphobes getting allowed to spew hate without opposition. Meanwhile trans people are not allowed to talk about anything other than trans issues, and then they must be given an opposing TER to contradict their life experiences.

Fucking police are now stepping up their harassment of vulnerable women.
Someone with an agenda is pushing this, and it shows how the law should really have been updated over the last 50 years.

Everybody hates Sir Keith
He did reduce Tory unfavourablity by 1%, so he could become leader of the Conservatives some time in the 2030s if he keeps it up.

Let’s just ban people from having the wrong opinions.This will never go wrong or backfire at all.
One answer is the offence of “foreign interference” under the new National Security Act 2023 but proving that a “foreign hand” is at work can be very difficult, Mr Hall says.
Another answer is “social resilience against disinformation” or even “a Cold War mentality that sniffs out subversion”.
“But what if it was necessary to go further? What if it was necessary to investigate, intrusively, the source of funding for protest movements?”
Mr Hall asks if it might be necessary to “bring forward a law, in the interests of national security, banning extremism or subversion”.

I honestly don’t know why there are still trans people and organisations in the Labour party. The Starmerites are a lost cause and most of the rest of the party are too cowardly to stand against them.
GRTsocialists disaffiliated from Labour years ago because of Labour’s hateful rhetoric and lack of support. I believe it is time for queer socialists and socdems to join them in abandoning this party of hate.
