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.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.

As we have been saying: Keir Starmer could personally machine gun refugees in the channel and *it still wouldn't be enough* because the entire point of the fascist worldview is to rage against the external and internal enemies of the people and the soft traitors who enable them.

It just so happens I stumbled across this yesterday. I thought, if only someone showed this on TV every time they show or discuss Pochin or Reform or Farage. Buy ad time. And show this.

We had to read Kafka when I was at school. Always assumed "The Castle" was fiction, but it was clearly an accurate look-ahead to dealing with local authorities/ social services in the year 2025.

Just back from a week's holiday in France and Germany. Bearing in mind I've lived in/spent extensive time in both countries it was interesting what I'd forgotten. For example- the existence of "Kellogg's Smacks".
