Is she upset about the elderly having sex lives or upset about sex being promoted in general, I need to know what level of pissarseing social conservatism I'm witnessing
This feels like peak infantilisation of the elderly.
What exactly is ‘disgraceful’ about giving the elderly/infirm practical advice about how to be physically intimate in a safe way? They aren’t children. Their innocent eyes don’t need to be protected. Plus it’s medical guidance not a jazz mag

What we’ve done is create a kind of Wanker’s Veto where nothing good or useful can ever happen, because MPs and the press will unite and destroy it. So the only things that will ever succeed even temporarily are projects that nobody likes or wants, except for said MPs and media figures.

James Bond discourse reminds me that an ex's nan sat in solemn silence through the whole of Austin Powers, then said "Well I don't see how he gets all those women"

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

It's kind of wild how almost all politics in the UK is a demand for perfect systems that work 100% of the time and angry denunciations of systems that have redundancy or error checking as wasteful bureaucracy.

A group of powerful national journalists choosing to single out the healthcare of a vulnerable minority for a campaign of intense laser-like scrutiny would, in an humane society, be described as an insane radicalised pogrom.
But on Normal Island, that's a Wednesday.

What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

Important to be clear here that the proposed homes wouldn't mean demolishing the 18th century garden - it's just that they might possibly be visible from it. What appallingly selfish behaviour.

AI chatbots could help stop prisoner release errors, says justice minister
HMP Wandsworth gets ‘green light’ to use AI after team sent in to find ‘quick fixes’ after spate of mistakes
Artificial intelligence chatbots could be used to stop prisoners from being mistakenly released from jail, a justice minister told the House of Lords on Monday.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)
