Yes. Sometimes you can almost hear the 'stfu' panic from them, when they're properly challenged.

Horrible smell of bias from BBC radio scotland's host today, but some great callers. For a change.

Greugh, boak, vile. 'How to address a duchess'. If he wants to help anti Trump Americans, how about trying to get the ones maltreated by ICE?

Imagine being marooned on a desert island with some of those clowns. Oh wait...maybe I'm thinking of criminal expats colonising idyllic spots of the planet

Any old swipe on that face would do

Fab. They're all very talented people, but those skills from the old cookbooks cover all the basic pastries, sponges, biscuits etc.

The whole celebrity thing is actually excruciating. I despise that suggestive loudmouth formula in all of those programs

@britishbakeoff.bsky.social who the fk gets to week 5 and doesn't know that you put holes in pastry pies?? Get a hold of the Be-ro cookbook and learn some basic skills or it's all style over substance

I do believe it works both ways, but hey, if McKenna is your source for anything you've trashed every last bit of your credibility

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 2d

My reaction too. Beyond parody

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 3d

Can anyone at all explain to me why so many people can be genuinely enraged about the horrors of genocide and the rise of anti migrants sentiment...yet still be a terf?? It's the mystery of my time

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 4d

people, even under pressure from 'bad actors'. Also note the urgency of protest now that the Israeli govt has international hostages including wee Greta, and the reports from some official sources are horrendous. Lastly, please do not block...be principled. Yous have all the power. Thank you

Hi @stewart9graham.bsky.social listening to your paper review hoping to hear a balanced account about protest. I'd like to point out that NO-ONE I've ever known or heard on a pro Gaza demo shares the views of those interviewed by that journalist featured in the paper. We are non antisemitic 1/

No further explanation that they arrested elderly, blind, religious etc etc as part of a peaceful protest. What can we do about msm? It's getting out of hand

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 4d

Most of the radio Scotland crew have blocked me because they don't like to be called out for pandering to bias but this AM reported Badenochs drive for more police powers on public protests to protect feelings of certain groups. Literally SAME breath announced 100s of arrests at the London march.

Of course. Even some of his people are openly wearing the wee Fash Tache

The media has no interest at all. Horrendous anti semitic attack should not be used as a blackout for our news and protest

Members of the Global Sumud Flotila abducted by the Israeli military in international waters on Wednesday night are expected to be transferred to one of Israel's most notorious torture prisons. The Kitzi'ot prison has been the site of repeated abuses against Palestinian prisoners.

Who the fuck mocks citizens who put their lives on the line for the sake of humanity. I despair.

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 7d

Dismissal is not enough. Some of the spiteful violence (eg towards an autistic juvenille), racist hatred and rape comments render them too dangerous to be in the community

Really sorry to see @cathynewman.bsky.social give @nadinedorries.bsky.social an easy ride. Expect better of c4. A 14 year old kid could demolish her 'argument' in minutes.

Starmer is talking about abolishing human right to protection against torture for asylum seekers here. Are you still Labour? @monicalennon.bsky.social

They're making a half-arsed attempt to be all cosy non racist, while flogging supremely racist policies. We see them. Sadly so do the far-right.

That ignorance is sadly not exclusive to fash c*nts. I have to kindly pick up English friends regularly for reference to the UK as England. Rather be out of it myself, but...
