Although the BBC is the best news source we have in the UK it really can & should do better. For example:
1. stop attacking Trans people
2. stop platforming fascists & their nonsense

The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

I 'closely studied' Wuthering Heights for my English Literature exams and I have absolutely no memory of the details in this thread!
I suspect that's because I watched a TV adaptation (as well as reading and re-reading the book) and that gave me an image of Heathcliff in my head.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
