I see the fake Christians are losing it over the Supreme Court ruling about teaching religion in schools in Northern Ireland.
They are acting like it's been banned. To be clear, RE will still be taught. Christianity just won't be shoved down their throats every single day in every single school.

Genuinely intrigued by who has put this up.
Is it a Christmas thing or is it Reform stoking more hatred and fear of immigration?
AI slop would be very on brand for Reform.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Still laughing/crying at The Boy declaring is @rdcomics.bsky.social is still doing brilliant comics considering he's "getting quite old now".

I do not understand authors, broadcasters, voice artists, YouTubers, ANY creative artists using quick and cheap AI for their cover images and not realising: it will be you next.

I choose to believe that someone along the chain knew the job wasn't needed and they all just got on with it anyway just to make Reform look stupid.
This is talking as an ex Neighbourhood Manager for a council run by a party I didn't hate but I sure as hell couldn't stand the elected members.

In a spell-binding move, Reform run, cash-strapped, Kent County Council repaints the yellow 'Keep Clear' lines outside a school that closed 10 years ago

Reform council repaints road markings for school which closed in 2016
Kent County Council sold the disused school site to a government agency in March, but has repainted yellow zigzags and "School Keep Clear" warnings.

Is #R4Tiday really interviewing two anti immigration mouthpieces on the language the government is using?
Have they completely given up on balance?
I'm sure there are many experts out there on the subject rather than two overly opinionated old white guys.

Omg just interacted with. Trump supporter. Inside my art studio. I was kind, I tried to have a conversation and had to politely end it when they got kinda ugly with me. I don’t usually bring up the one anti-Trump piece of art I have (do r like to talk about him) but they asked directly.

For the first time in my life I'm glad a vote in Northern Ireland makes bog all difference to which party gets into power.
I would hate to have to vote in the rest of GB these days.

You know what I need?
I need inspirational stories of people who have been through really crap times and are now ok.
Not out of reach, I turned my trauma into a multi million £ business, stories. I want, things were unrelentingly crap and now they're not, stories.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

We 100% need a publicly owned, independent media outlet and the best we have is the BBC.
What we don't need is a segment on the Dr strikes with someone from the BMA, Wes Streeting sound bites and some random dude who knows nothing but his Drs appointment was cancelled.

Well that explains why Trump is after the BBC.
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.
