Started getting serious replies about who the BBC can and cannot select, like I was actually suggesting that the evil spirit of Oswald Mosley would be an actual contender and not making a fucking joke.
Labour are going to drag the tormented, insane spirit of Oswald Mosley up from hell for the BBC Director General job. It's official.

Mind you, Richard Tice would have lost when he threatened to sue the BBC for calling Reform Far Right. But still the BBC caved: it's strong with the weak and weak with the strong.
Trump won't sue for defamation because he'll lose. End of.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Incredible shit here: the man who provided the template for stomping on the BBC when it displeases malicious actors in politics, complaining that malicious actors in politics are using his template for stomping on the BBC for displeasing them.

There's a film called Take This Waltz where Michelle Williams is married to Seth Rogen and is tempted by another man. In the film Seth Rogen has a daily prank where he tips ice water on her while she's in the shower and pretends the shower is just broken. This alone should make her leave him.

Lovely to see that it's now considered cool and good to be a vehement lefty who loves socialism but if you called people like me a stupid naive cunt and dick-rode the reasonable centre between 2016 and 2024 I DO remember because I'm not above petty fuckery. Anyway. Welcome, comrade.

I think if you understand what’s happening here as basically the usual reactionary crackpots seizing any excuse at all to crack down further upon what the public is permitted to hear, using whatever tools and excuses happen to be lying around at the time, then that is the closest to what’s going on.
Over on X The Everything App, the wingnuts are absolutely interpreting this as the BBC getting stomped upon specifically for being a pro-Hamas propaganda outfit defaming Israel.
Happened to have the news on last night when Tim Davies resigned & I couldn't help but notice how, within the space of ~20 minutes, the story morphed from one about a dodgy edit aired over a year ago to the BBC's alleged "anti-Israel bias". Real stink of shit coming off all of this.
