Dabbles in paint and charcoal now and again, proud granddaughter of a Suffragette. Lucky enough to live in leafy North London. Older but certainly none the wiser.

Dunkirk 1940 :
The 8th Regiment of the Zouaves (8e Régiment de Zouaves) helped defend the British retreat at Dunkirk in 1940

They were from North Africa

Most of the regiment were killed or captured defending Dunkirk

This is the most deranged situation. We are literally being kicked about by fake-newsers threatening to bankrupt our own public service broadcaster, to shield an insurrectionist from a reality that he can’t accept.

Imagine the EU suing the BBC for all the lies Brexiters like Farage and Rees Mogg have said... €1 billion per lie…

Mogg's suit is his armour.

His cut glass accent and Etonian affectation are a force field.

Beneath them both, he's a rude, insufferable arse.
Jacob-Rees Mogg supports President Trump's right to sue the BBC

He then repeatedly asks Gillian Tett questions but doesn't let her reply, so Victoria Derbyshire has to step in and tell him off

Also - why is the BBC interviewing an employee from GB News. He's not an MP.

The more I think about, the more I realise that the attack on the BBC really is terribly thinly veiled - and listening to @newsagents.bsky.social’s episode today, you can see just how dangerous things are right now.

A very good episode from the people who know the BBC best.

So the BBC's immediate response to a crisis of news coverage is 'Let's have more Farage.'

Farage on the BBC again? Will they never learn? Institutional bias?

Turned on the BBC and Nigel Farage was delivering another speech. Does he now have a weekly slot? He was expressing concern that a betting tax would mean that children would no longer be able to put “tuppence” into a slot machine in seaside amusement arcades. Which I’m sure is a real thing.

Post Office Horizon IT contract extended for another year.

PO to pay £41m to Fujitsu.

Fujitsu was instrumental in persecution of innocent postmasters. £1.2bn compensation paid from public purse. More to follow. Fujitsu haven't paid a penny, no one has been charged.

Why is Fujitsu being rewarded?

As far as I can tell every Trump speech is misleading but the BBC saying that he encouraged a mob to storm Congress and tried to steal an election isn't.
