As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

Yes, and I'd make a formal complaint to NHS Scotland as well as consider legal action
Would you change your GP doctor if you found out they were using ChatGPT or some other AI and fed all your patient notes into it?

My controversial music take is that Under Pressure is, by a distance, Queen's most overrated song, and one of the most overrated songs ever recorded
I don't think it's in any way a bad song, it's just... ok, I guess. If it wasn't for the Bowie collaboration I'm not sure it would be as big as it is

That’s it! All over!
KILLER QUEEN - 17
UNDER PRESSURE - 19
The song which gave us Vanilla Ice’s career is into the final.
Finally, recognition for the narrator from the Snowman.
Semi-final 2: The Semi Revenge kicks off tomorrow morning.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Normalising multimillionaires made billionaires acceptable (even though the difference between £10m and £1bn is basically...£1bn). Normalising multiBILLIONaires has now made the idea of a TRILLIONaire acceptable.
It's not. It's obscene.

This is utterly obscene. How anyone thinks this is acceptable is beyond me.
The world’s richest man was just handed a chance to become history’s first trillionaire. Elon Musk won a shareholder vote on Thursday that would give the Tesla CEO stock worth $1 trillion if he hits certain performance targets over the next decade.
