There’s a bit in this v good documentary where the first woman astronaut has given birth just before the flight and she decides she’ll still go.
She gets loads of hate mail- imagine the size of that on social media - she’d get all the inadequate nutters.

Hello from U.K.
I’m old enough to remember when the opposition here was divided on what approach to use when Thatcher was Prime Minister.
The result? She won three successive elections and the opposition was out of power for 18 years.
Dems probably need to get their act together fast.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

One way in which the BBC is definitely not biased is the way it annoys those from both the Left and the Right.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
