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 …

One last Sunday evening bump for this, thank you so much to everyone who has already shared/purchased/generally spread the word, it really helps a bunch.

The UK media last week spent so much time banging on about a football match. Will they give the same amount of coverage to this ? I very much doubt it

"The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off."
There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology.
List/tag them. 👇

We can't tax billionaires, because they might take their tax avoidance to another country. But we can drive out brilliant people who do much-needed work, contribute to our society and culture, pay tax, create jobs, and have done nothing wrong. That's fine, apparently.

Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.

Petition: Increase funding for people with Parkinson’s and implement the "Parky Charter"
