👏🏼 I love these ads, part of @badvertising.bsky.social's campaign calling on @london.gov.uk to ban advertising by airlines and other high polluting businesses on TFL.
TFL should not be promoting climate-hostile businesses at a time of #ClimateBreakdown.

This morning my class used the @cwgc.bsky.social website to look up the details of the 5 Commonwealth War Graves in the cemetery at St Magnus Cathedral (our closest one).
The one that always gets me is Private James Mackay of the Seaforth Highlanders, died 11th November 1918, aged 21. #LestWeForget

This is what the EHRC's shitty Code will result in.
All. The. Time.
It's already happening, but if the Code becomes statutory this kind of gender-policing-based-on-appearance will become an order of magnitude or two worse.

This is a good move. Got to say though stark double standards in that they've moved pretty quickly to do this but kept on funding and sending surveillance planes over Gaza and giving that information over to Israel for 2 years!
So they trust Israel with information over the USA?

It's interesting (I think) that most of the arguments of those saying the BBC must be protected and continue, are very like the arguments for the continuation of the monarchy.
The alternatives would be worse

An incredibly harrowing but worthy watch on ITV - Inside Israel’s War - just on tonight, with Nuremberg style admissions from IOF soldiers who were partaking in the genocide in the early stages. It goes into detail about Israeli propaganda, attitudes towards Palestinians, etc.

Nigel Farage says if the BBC doesn't produce straight news then it has no future
Of course the BBC have been producing straight news for years, it is why its one of the most reliable and trustworthy news outlets globally
