Just watched Farage talking about Trump and BBC and it makes me so miserable that his career has been so helped by an institution he is committed to destroy - I am bewildered

I am naive enough to remain surprised by how many people will fall in line with an incoherent sexual predator with no morals or ethics - I fear Elon Musk is seeing it back to front - it is not too much empathy that is destroying the west, it is its scarcity

Oops and i forgot “in defence of a wealthy minorities undeserved grotesquely increased income”

I looked up “patriot” in a couple of dictionaries and no definition said “an ideology of racism, misogyny and homophobia poorly concealed in a flag” - time for an update, Oxford

Sometimes, I forget that Atom Egoyan’s Exotica is one of my favourite films of all time - the final 5 minutes is unbearably moving m.youtube.com/watch?v=mEhf...

That’s a bit much to say about the new Director General of the BBC
The 45th/47th President is arguably the most unpleasant person in American history; jealous, petty and greedy, an unforgiving narcissist; a vindictive ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic; homophobic racist; a serial liar, a serial predator and proud of it, an Islamophobic, sociopathic, megalomaniacal, demagogue, a capricious bully and self-serving repulsive con artist without a shred of conscience.

The right wing will cry LEFT WING BIAS - until the most liberal voice on air will be someone who is not quite sure lynching was such a good idea - they will hastily be taken off air … and lynched
Tragic image of lynching

So—hang on—the BBC DG and head of News have resigned over an internal complaint about coverage of Trump raised by one adviser who appears to have been pursuing a right-wing agenda?

I am fascinated to know which side of “systemic bias” the Gaza and trans rights angle is

Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general after accusations of ‘serious and systemic’ bias in coverage
Davie tells staff departure was ‘my own decision’ but it comes with the BBC preparing to apologise for the way it edited a Trump speech

I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue
Mirror EXCLUSIVE: JK Rowling 'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says Nadia Whittome, who has just joined Westminster's Women and Equalities Committee, called for the Government fight back against toxic narratives and show solidarity with the trans community She said: "It's increasingly difficult when what we're up against is a machine funded by billionaires in this country and the US, with political support from countries like Russia as well. "You just need to follow where the transphobia is coming from, it's not coming from working class people, it's trickling down from the top. "These concerns are not being raised by a cleaner on the minimum wage, somebody stuck in an abusive relationship. Trans people aren't a threat to them, the threat to them comes from violent men and the structures that keep them trapped, whether that's low pay, low benefits, not having access to the public services they need. She said: "We see negative headlines about trans people in the media every day, the Tories and Reform continue to use them as a political football, often most damagingly in reference to protecting women from women who aren't trans, which misdiagnoses the problem of male violence, which is something...done to women both trans and not trans by violent and abusive men. "The only way we can stop trans people being used as a political football is to stand up for their rights unequivocally, by not giving an inch.

Something I can agree with with Anthony Hopkins here is that much neurodivergence IS normal behaviour , the problem arises because it is not considered normal behaviour in numerous work, social and general living situations - the rules are often set up by those who believe there is one correct way
ANTHONY HOPKINS SPARKS BACKLASH AFTER CALLING ADHD AND AUTISM "NONSENSE" autism_feed 86-year-old Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins is facing criticism from neurodiversity advocates after dismissing neurodevelopmental conditions as fashionable labels rather than legitimate diagnoses. The 'Silence of the Lambs' star made controversial remarks in a recent Sunday Times interview, suggesting society overuses medical terminology to describe "normal aspects of human behaviour."

Like Timothy West and Prunella Scales , there always seemed to be something rather wonderful about Pauline Collins and John Alderton - a radiant love - she is so splendid in The Colonel’s Lady and much more besides
