Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

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.

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election.

‘At one point during cross examination, the prosecutor Peter Wright KC called Barton’s explanations “nonsense”, to which the former player responded by asking: “Are you calling me a nonce?” Wright in turn responded: “No, nonsense.”’

“There’s a limit to what one person can do” - the response from Nigel Farage.
Perhaps you could start by focusing on local issues rather than demonising asylum seekers?

I did the English voice-over for this. Grim but important stuff.
The construction of the second part of the German Nazi Auschwitz camp began in October 1941. The planned number of prisoners of Auschwitz II-Birkenau was 200,000. It was never achieved.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Cruz thinks he's hatched a brilliant plan after watching Inception.
Ted Cruz, in a Senate hearing, slipped saying "Let's stop attacking pedophiles" while urging bipartisanship on crime. The remark came amid debates on Jeffrey Epstein files and crime policy reforms.

After Ilhan Omar & I discussed Charlie Kirk’s assassination, that both of us condemned, conservatives screenshotted an unrelated part of the convo where we were momentarily smiling & ridiculously claimed we were ‘celebrating’ his death.
It’s an easy enough, & very cynical, trick to play. 🤷🏽♂️

Hi James, in my time with taxi drivers I've had 1 tell me that he flies out to America once a year to organise Robin Williams's security and another who tells me that he is Eddie Grant's tour manager.
I'm not sure they're always telling the truth.
