In case anyone was wondering how Tim Westwood got away with it for so long…

News report stating: BBC director-general Tim Davie called the claims made against Westwood "appalling" and initially said he'd "seen no evidence of complaints" before later backtracking.
The BBC later confirmed that it had received six complaints about the DJ.

Went out with a lad from Nigeria in my 20s and he'd get his mate round to listen to Tim Westwood and fall about the place laughing at his shout outs to the guys on lockdown, lol

The now deleted video from Heather Humphreys’ team including an image of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Video focused on how Heather knows the border and the North - and was posted days after she said she doesn’t just go on “day trips”.

This is fantastic news for Irish artists. The key thing now is that the scheme remains randomly allocated, rather than decided by some committee of govt-appointed gatekeepers.
It also begs the question, if Basic Income works for artists, why not extend it to everyone?

Oh she can fuck right off "That legislation [the Gender Recognition Act 2015] was actually not passed by me, it was passed by a previous Minister. And the legislation is in place. And maybe it does need to be looked at.”"

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Keep hearing things about how if you don't like Seinfeld you'll actually enjoy it, which sounds like something Jerry Seinfeld would say to trick you

I have so many cultural holes, it's where I keep my disdain for a lot of pop culture you see

Kate @katemck.bsky.social · 4d

Seinfeld, and before anyone asks what's up with that it's because Jerry Seinfeld is in it

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 5d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

I didn't trust how LOTR wasn't marketed as 'from the makers of Bad Taste' and so never watched it

He's doing the same thing that American conservatives were doing in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. It makes me think that, as was self evident with many of those american conservatives, he doesn't actually care about the victims of the attack.
