MY VOICE MY CHOICE Girls are not underage. They are children. Children can't consent to sex. It's rape.

Bloody left wing bias etc etc etc
"It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it. But by the time we went on air we simply had one of each; we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance. It wasn't." Emily Maitlis, former BBC Newsnight presenter

Donald J. Trump C @realDonald Trump No president ever worked harder than me (cleaning up the mess I inherited)! Ned Pyle @NerdPyle • 6h Replying to @realDonaldTrump FDR fought the Great Depression and led us through WW2. Lincoln saved the Union. You have golfed 156 times, visited mar-a-lago 27 times, & spend 6 hours a day on "executive time" tweeting and watching cable news You may be the laziest president who ever lived.

I think it is crazy to think that Trump was complicit in the violent riots of 6th January - what the BBC did was so misleading - if he really saw those people as his fighting army he would have pardoned all 1600 of those convicted or waiting trial on the first day of his second term

A little bit of Stockport - had a lovely night - thought I was going for a drink but found out I wasn’t so now the odd transfer from intensity to solitude and silence

That’s a bit much to say about the new Director General of the BBC
The 45th/47th President is arguably the most unpleasant person in American history; jealous, petty and greedy, an unforgiving narcissist; a vindictive ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic; homophobic racist; a serial liar, a serial predator and proud of it, an Islamophobic, sociopathic, megalomaniacal, demagogue, a capricious bully and self-serving repulsive con artist without a shred of conscience.

The right wing will cry LEFT WING BIAS - until the most liberal voice on air will be someone who is not quite sure lynching was such a good idea - they will hastily be taken off air … and lynched

I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue
Mirror EXCLUSIVE: JK Rowling 'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says Nadia Whittome, who has just joined Westminster's Women and Equalities Committee, called for the Government fight back against toxic narratives and show solidarity with the trans community She said: "It's increasingly difficult when what we're up against is a machine funded by billionaires in this country and the US, with political support from countries like Russia as well. "You just need to follow where the transphobia is coming from, it's not coming from working class people, it's trickling down from the top. "These concerns are not being raised by a cleaner on the minimum wage, somebody stuck in an abusive relationship. Trans people aren't a threat to them, the threat to them comes from violent men and the structures that keep them trapped, whether that's low pay, low benefits, not having access to the public services they need. She said: "We see negative headlines about trans people in the media every day, the Tories and Reform continue to use them as a political football, often most damagingly in reference to protecting women from women who aren't trans, which misdiagnoses the problem of male violence, which is something...done to women both trans and not trans by violent and abusive men. "The only way we can stop trans people being used as a political football is to stand up for their rights unequivocally, by not giving an inch.

Something I can agree with with Anthony Hopkins here is that much neurodivergence IS normal behaviour , the problem arises because it is not considered normal behaviour in numerous work, social and general living situations - the rules are often set up by those who believe there is one correct way
ANTHONY HOPKINS SPARKS BACKLASH AFTER CALLING ADHD AND AUTISM "NONSENSE" autism_feed 86-year-old Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins is facing criticism from neurodiversity advocates after dismissing neurodevelopmental conditions as fashionable labels rather than legitimate diagnoses. The 'Silence of the Lambs' star made controversial remarks in a recent Sunday Times interview, suggesting society overuses medical terminology to describe "normal aspects of human behaviour."

Like Timothy West and Prunella Scales , there always seemed to be something rather wonderful about Pauline Collins and John Alderton - a radiant love - she is so splendid in The Colonel’s Lady and much more besides
