Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well

Accusing a wild game dish of being "gamey" is a bit like accusing beef of being beefy. When did gamey become a bad thing? Game should be like game.

RTÉ News, An Garda Síochána and the Government have something in common: their refusal to use the term "far right". It's almost as if they're afraid to. 🤔
The Garda Commissioner has said An Garda Síochána will not tolerate thuggery such as occurred during sustained and significant violence at Citywest last month.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

But absolutely not because it's the right thing to do.
In September, HuffPost UK revealed Starmer had decided the 2-child benefit cap must go.

One MP says: “It’s a recognition that we need to show some kind of progressive inclination, and presumably to try and cool the leadership talk.”

A return to unbiased reporting like they had in the 90's when I worked for them and was proud to would be nice.

9/ Given the craven behaviour of the BBC Board, it's probably too much to hope that it will respond to Donald Trump's threat of a $1 billion SLAPP suit in the same way that Private Eye responded to a crook threatening to sue them: f*** off.

7/ Why is Trump bothering to intimidate the BBC with the threat of a €1 billion libel suit?

Because the BBC has a very large audience in the US, where it is trusted considerably more than all major US news brands.

Truthful reporting is anathema to autocrats.

6/ Michael Prescott is an old friend of Robbie Gibb & was on the panel to choose the head of Ofcom when Boris Johnson was PM.

Gibb tried to swing it for a Tory apparatchik but was overruled by (of all people) Nadine Dorries, who preferred another.

5/ Boris Johnson knows full well that Trump tried to illegally overturn the US election result & encouraged those who violently assaulted the US Capitol on January 6.
Now he's giving ammunition to Trump & the billionaire media barons who aim to destroy the BBC.
Contemptible.

4/ Robbie Gibb was heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way with the BBC, he would “blow the place up”.

Someone has certainly blown the place up very effectively.

3/ It would be interesting to know exactly what role BBC Board member Robbie Gibb played in this affair.

Whoever leaked Michael Prescott's inflammatory & ideologically loaded memo must have known what damage it would do to the BBC.

Cui bono?

2/ Hanover has been described as expert in media manipulation & covert lobbying.

You could be forgiven for seeing the leaking of Michael Prescott's inflammatory memo as a textbook example of media manipulation (with the full connivance of the Daily Telegraph et al).

1/ Michael Prescott of Hanover Communications, whose leaked memo alleging left-wing bias led to the BBC meltdown.

You could be forgiven for thinking that a corporate lobbyist & former Murdoch press hack may not have the best interests of public-service broadcasting at heart.

G and I are watching Typhoon Family (because one of the OST songs is by Han from Stray Kids...). It's set in 1997/1998, and she's finding the "olden times" setting fascinating. The idea of pagers somewhat baffles her.

My Gran's 103 now and starting perhaps to fade a little, so that memory seems all the more poignant & fragile. I was up at the end of October to see her, and my Mum drove my Gran up to Kintail this weekend to see family & feel home. So, on Armistice Day, that is my small story of family remembrance

The romantic in me would insist that I felt the wind stir, but what I know happened was that when I told my Mum & my then 100 year old Gran about my visit, they felt touched by the connection & the small act of remembrance.
