The BBC has gone from being one of the best most impartial broadcasters (at least where the British Government wasn't involved) to being Fox News UK in the last 20 years.
It is an absolute disgrace and I can't believe they even dare to talk about impartiality.

Remember: Eurovision banned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, but not Israel for its genocide of the Palestinian people. If you’re not boycotting it, perhaps you should reflect on that?

We don't spy on MP's bank accounts who receive far more benefits than any disabled person can.
But if we did, we would be able to stop all the dodgy donations billionaires pay them to not do their job, and instead pour public funds in the billionaires pockets.

Trump has a bypass when it comes to human empathy and compassion. It’s a pathology. He’s so self-identified that all events revolve around *his* weird take on events. Don’t succumb to the lack of basic human decency. We are all better than his take, that came from a weirdly distorted family dynamic.

The annual JRF reports on poverty in the UK have shown lower levels in Northern Ireland. This is helped by mitigations the Executive has put in place to address some of the worse effects of austerity, but depends on future funding decisions. Also, poverty levels vary considerably within NI.
