If I knew where the line was, I'd record it, and pause it before saying the line out loud. Bastards.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The thing is, I think we'd all accept that breaking the election pledge is what's needed to reset this cycle of austerity / poor growth / austerity. What I'm afraid we're going to get is more tinkering at the edges and no improvement.
Reeves expected to reveal cut in UK growth forecasts for next 5 yrs.
Can't get sustained economic growth:
16m live in poverty.
24m live below socially acceptable living standards.
Real average wage unchanged since 2008.
4.5m get less than living wage.
Regressive taxation.
Profiteering unchecked.

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

Seriously, who needs a Christmas-themed bath mat, or towels? Or bedding? I imagine a destroyed planet, the occasional smoking and derelict shopping centre still standing, with one shop inside selling stuff we don't need.

I don't want to watch you saying stuff. That's probably why I don't even watch TV news any more. I'll listen to the radio, or I'll read something. I don't need to see a face. Oh, and I won't listen to a long, rambling, unedited podcast either.

If this is true - and I've no reason to doubt it - why does the media publish this stuff without challenging the narrative, and better still using a more appropriate headline?

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
I don’t know if I’m allowed to have a favourite, but this has got to be one of them. It’s a great print, full of details and he’s very close to selling out.
Head over to our shop and grab one, before they’re all gone.

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!
