The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS

But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
BBC Radio 4 'Today'

Reading out headlines from the right-wing propaganda newspapers without question or challenge, as if they're printing the unbiased truth.

Such bollocks.

The BBC is part of the problem: just a mouthpiece for our rotten imitation of a democracy, controlled by the rich.

Zelensky: Ukraine stands at one of the most difficult crossroads in its history, between dignity and the risk of losing a key partner.

“Either 28 difficult points, or the harshest winter and growing threats,” he said, adding that “life without freedom, dignity, and justice” is no life at all.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “Ukraine can count on us. Together with Macron and Starmer, I reaffirmed our full support to Zelensky. We welcome the US commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, but the current contact line must remain the foundation for any negotiations.”

Starmer's knack for making simple stories worse. Banning away fans from games is pretty common as this story says. Best not politicised, but he has to go there. Badly advised. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A standing ovation for someone found guilty of tweeting about burning migrants alive. She was sentenced to 31 months for inciting racial hatred. The judge said “You intended to incite serious violence. What you did encouraged activity which threatened or endangered life.” Who’s calling this out?
The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.
