Inconvenient facts for malign (often foreign) influencers who try to portray my home city as a lethal no go zone.
After more than half a century living here, I’ve never felt safer
And kudos to Fraser Nelson for his work on this

Congratulations to Blue Origin for landing New Glenn NG2!
But more importantly for showing that classic engineering isn’t dead yet, you don’t have to blow up multiple vehicles in a do-learn-do attitude to be a disruptor.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

Asking for a friend: if poppy rage is over tomorrow do we go straight into the „you can’t even say merry Christmas anymore“ phase?

One thing not being said - indeed, I think everyone misses this - but the requirement for the BBC to show impartiality and balance relates to the politics of *this* country, there’s no requirement to show some mythical balance globally, only to report the truth without fear or favour.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Wenn Leute wie @blomen.bsky.social argumentieren das “Arbeit sich wieder lohnen muss” ist das ja eigentlich ein Statement für eine Anhebung des Mindestlohnes, komischerweise wollen sie das aber eigentlich nie meinen…

If true that the Train attacker did in fact already stabbed people before we need to ask the question to what extend police cuts done by the Conservatives have contributed to the inability to apprehend him earlier

Wikipedia says Shaheen is an academic. BBCQT implies you can’t trust what she says b/c she’s an ‘activist’. Someone who Wikipedia calls ‘a former academic’ who now campaigns for Reform & wants to be its first Home Secretary is an ‘academic & author’ who you can trust. Maybe they use Grokipedia now.
