Still absolutely obsessed with this. It’s like if David Lynch produced a Johnny Cash and June Carter song.

Thank god we don’t live in China or I’d be worried we were living in an authoritarian surveillance state.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.
What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

I'd be quite happy to see Starmer go, but when you have Streeting and Mahmood being presented as the most viable alternatives it doesn't exactly bode well for the future. Seems guaranteed that the attacks on marginalised communities we have seen already will be ramped up.

it feels like intellectually punching down to make fun of a guy who spent $2000 on toys and jersey shorts but he spent $2000 on toys and jersey shorts so he deserves it.

I remember watching Casino Royale at the cinema without the slightest confusion that James Bond was blonde now.
too many people have drunk from the poisoned fountain of Corporate Canon and allowed suits to tell them what to believe about art

Is it a hysterical pile on to say that the BBC has had a significant role in getting the country’s discourse on human rights and immigration to the horrendous place it is?
I wouldn’t say so.
I wouldn’t say so.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Remember a few months back the Paris Lees "What It Feels Like For a Girl" *drama series* review felt the need to squeeze in a paragraph from Forstater and Sex Matters about how some people don't believe trans people are real or valid, for some fucking reason
The BBC has no pro-trans bias. The BBC is appalling on trans issues, just like the rest of the media.

See here’s the thing. I’m not against a nationally funded media corp in principle but the BBC’s news content has been hopelessly undermined by their behaviour for years. It’s been poisoned by bigoted rhetoric.
It can probably be fixed but handwringing about what to do won’t help.

Can't believe there are conversations about ending the BBC. This is like listening to a family calmly discussing whether to shoot it's dog, or burn down the house.

The News Agents is a great case study of centrism because they actively describe how the sausage is made and yet none of their audience say 'Wait - what the fuck do you mean you ran a story because some Labour spad told you to?'

Universal Healthcare is cheaper, more equitable and leaves no one behind.
It has its flaws, but never having to worry about whether you can pay the bill is not one of them.
