Finally finished watching #thehack It's sickening how our media operates, in particular the tabloids. They're like a mafia. We deserve proper journalism in this country, not propaganda, false narratives & criminal enterprise. The damage being done by these organisations is appalling.

Having watched both episodes of the new #moorsmurders documentary on the BBC, I think @gmpolice.bsky.social need to act now to find Keith Bennett.
Makin, the solicitor, needs to share what information he holds of Brady's, to finally bring little Keith to rest with his mother.

Reform only has one MP more than the Greens so presumably there'll be similar plans to appeal to Green voters. No? Oh, you astonish me.

Simon Reeve's Scandinavia series is superb. He is absolutely right, why does our media focus so much on the USA when we have so much more in common with Scandinavia? They also have a much better standard of living than we do, there is much to emulate.

Am watching the recent documentary Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park. It's harrowing. Those poor girls. My heart goes out to their family and friends. They seem two such bubbly, vibrant people - the sort of women I would have as friends. 💔

Loved Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. I cried at the end of the finale (I know I'm a big wuss) - he was just so good, his doctor was kind and emotional and the series' have been brilliantly written by Russell T. Davies.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next with Billie Piper!

Absolutely everybody has had their eyes opened to the blatant racial bias in our Media by the response to the Liverpool attack, who was a dangerous terrorist until he was found to be white.

Paul Doyle. How anyone can make allowances for this man, I do not understand. If he was brown or black, there would be no sympathy. This man drove into an area he should not have been. Instead of pulling over and waiting until he could move safely, or asking for help from the police...

Jeepers. I paid a visit to the other place, the speculation on there about the Liverpool driver is WILD. Someone even said he must have been wearing a mask and prosthetics to disguise his appearance and look white. I kid you not. Ugh, reminded me why I left. Idiots.
