Trump is incredibly unpopular here! including amongst Tory voters. What are they doing?
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

I think the almost zealous commitment to 'Lore' and 'The Canon' that has risen over the past decade is the most frustrating and restrictive cultural movement we've seen, on par with how streaming means no one commissions tv beyond one series at a time anymore.

TBH that would be a significant softening of their current stance
The new unbiased BBC will presumably platform both for and against on whether immigrants (or perhaps non-white people) should have any rights at all

I'm hearing that the new BBC editorial policy is to ask "grok, is this true" after every news item.

This on the right is one of worst elements of legacy Thatcher brain, as if there is no difference between cutting tax from a top rate of 83% and of 45%
"Waah we're taxed enough already, they've frozen the personal allowance for the past few years" OK, but what happened to the personal allowance in the ten years before that. And also what happened to income tax rates in general in the thirty years before *that*

You have people on the left who are essentially making the argument that George Osborne was right to starve the beast, because "billionaires" should be paying for everything instead; we're comprehensively fucked

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

I couldn't be a mainstream journalist these days. One day you're doing a completely normal interview with an actress and suddenly thousands of poorly socialised weirdos are getting the callipers out to say you're biologically pre-destined to be a HR officer

There is literally like infinity money going into solar and batteries.
Most of the fight being put up here is NIMBYism, culture warrior stuff, coal producers using the state, private/state utilities making things hard.
Like Trump just cancelled one of the biggest solar projects
