If you don’t like the BBC, I suggest that you go to America and watch their TV for a day. It gives you a migraine. The BBC also keeps the standards of the other outlets relatively high. If you think we watch shit now, imagine it with no BBC. And they actually care about drama, children’s, factual.

'Hello Wall'. Shirley Valentine was probably the first film I saw as a kid that portrayed an unhappy woman taking control of their life and being independent and free! I loved it and her so much ❤️. RIP Pauline!

Genuinely gutted to hear about Pauline Collins. This was a formative performance for me 😭

Fascinating article. This applies to the UK as well, the right wing portraying London as a Sharia law loving hellscape, Birmingham as a multicultural nightmare with no-go zones. And this is why! They don't want young people moving from their towns and enjoying living a free life in these cities!
I've often said it, but a major factor in what drives the MAGA movement is that they've created communities that are unwelcoming to young people — and then they get mad young people want to leave.
And the only "solution" they can think of is to trap them.

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are.
Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it.
