I just want trans people the world over to be able to live in peace, and I don't think that should be an unreasonable ask or expectation.

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

why can they not just fix it
[Scene is MCcDONALDS PICKUP POINT but for the most part we can only see the close up faces of tha CUSTOMER and the McDONALDS EMPLOYEE at the serving point]. 1 CUSTOMER: Hi - I’m afraid this isn’t what I ordered 2 McDONALDS EMPLOYEE: Number 187? CUSTOMER: Yes 3 CUSTOMER: Maybe I pressed the wrong thing? I just ordered one strawberry milkshake. 4 EMPLOYEE: Oh - yeah sorry 5 EMPLOYEE: The milkshake machine’s not working. 6 EMPLOYEE: The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage. 7 CUSTOMER: Is that a new flavour? EMPLOYEE: Yeah 8 [We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter] EMPLOYEE: If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage. 9 [Customer looks inside the cup] 10 [Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup] CUSTOMER: So there is 11 CUSTOMER: Is that something people want, then? EMPLOYEE: No! No, not at all. 12 EMPLOYEE: It just keeps happening when we press banana. [ends]

Wouldn’t it be great if someone OTHER than racists got pandered to once in a while? Why do they get all the pandering? Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a society where the “concerns” of people who AREN’T semi-literate piss-blooded wife-beaters were treated as a priority?

it’s a real problem for the bbc that other news outlets have been successfully lying to their audiences for years to the point that the bbc seem “out of touch” to people who’ve swallowed those lies, and someone at the bbc should resign over this

Old joke: If a genie gave Democrats three wishes, they'd negotiate down to one, and then wish for something they think Republicans might like.

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
