Sorry, am I genuinely being asked to believe that the BBC is biased in favour of trans people?
I cannot remember the last time a trans person was given a voice on the BBC. It's as if they don't exist. They are talked about on the BBC, not talked to.
This entire debate is just fucking stupid.

Still not expecting to see a son of one of the richest families in the world signing on in the morning or queuing at his local food bank. Maybe I’ll be proved wrong but…
Colour me cynical but this is the Royal family protecting their position rather than any quest for justice on their part.

No. That’s the wrong question.
The right question is:
What kind of country doesn’t tax the very rich, allows the monarchy not to pay tax (or allows the monarchy to exist) while kids go hungry + pensioners, many whom are struggling- but not Polly - are targeted?
No. That’s the wrong question.

What kind of country puts its pensioners ahead of children in poverty? | Polly Toynbee
As long as a third of children are living below the poverty line, the government cannot justify keeping the pensions triple lock, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Politics is not like selling biscuits, where the task is to find out what people like & flog it to them.
It's a moral activity. It's about arguing for the things you believe in. It's about *shaping* the "median voter".
Farage has moved the centre-ground of politics. His opponents can move it back.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

The Israeli attack in Qatar is without any justification. It is a further escalation and further damages the process for peace.
Israel must be held to account for this action and this latest breach must bring an end to the horror in the Middle East.
