People who dare to leave high-control religious groups and cults face homelessness, physical abuse, death threats, isolation, and so much more. We run a helpline, open three days a week, for those people to connect with our experts to make sure they get the help they need. #CultAwarenessDay

Time the workers of the world united and eliminated their masters.

Sadly, while the UK debates with itself how to control immigration and borders, nothing is done to remove the cause: rival ruling classes in each country torturing and killing their own and each other's citizens, or imposing cruel laws based on ancient religions.

Good points in the letter: the apology for the editorial mistake the questions about the knowledge of the programme, its reach into the jurisdiction, and evidence of damage.

I would perhaps add - as a goodwill gesture - an offer of one dollar.

‘The more in the world you encounter kindness, and cheerfulness (which is kind of its amiable uncle or aunt), the better the world always is – and all the big words: virtue, justice, truth, are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.’

It's #WorldKindnessDay! This quote from our patron Stephen Fry says it all. 🥰

And you are unhappy with them because they disagree with you. I suspect you lean, politically, towards the right and GB News. Fair enough, but I would hate to see the Beeb go. Its news coverage, documentaries and general entertainment has been first class for at least 83 years.

I am currently re-reading Prof Grayling's excellent book "The God Argument". It's a slow read because there is much food for thought on every page, but all points are so well put, probably the best of all the great writers on this topic - Dennett, Dawkins, Hitchens, Coyne, Harris, etc.

You're entitled to your opinion. Not sure about the "common knowledge", however. I would equally claim that it's common knowledge that the BBC bends over backwards to be fair and unbiased.

We need the SPGB and socialism.

That was Halifax in Canada. It was a wartime collision, which, being a surface explosion, would have spread wide.

BBC Newsnight mock-up of Jeremy Corbyn as a Bolshevik revolutionary, in the style of a Soviet propaganda poster.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Mail Online reports Nigel Farage says that the BBC may have no future.

He imagines bringing to an end century of public service broadcasting in the UK - because the populist politician and his US political ally Donald Trump do not want the BBC to survive

No thanks, Nigel.
No thanks, Donald

But which god did Chas & Camilla pray to? Popie was outnumbered, so the Anglican god would have won.

You should wear these:

So he thinks she should admit that her gods don't really exist and that she and her family have been wrong in their beliefs, while his invisible friend really does exist. But then he's a Trumper (😂) so he's used to lies and nonsense.

Me too!

Removing flags put up by far-right clowns costs councils over £70,000 (Observer 9th Nov) while hard-up Nottinghamshire council commits £75,000 for putting them up across the City.

Since prayers have no effect I don't think the federal authorities have much to worry about.

4/Better to forget expensive Xmas presents and just give each other a promise to be understanding, thoughtful, kind, honest and respectful in the new year.

1/Xmas should be dumped; it's just used by the rich and powerful to squeeze more profit from the rest of us.

Borders signify the division of the planet into areas owned and controlled by different groups of capitalists. The people within those borders are subject to the country's laws & customs which are designed by the capitalists to squeeze the maximum profit from the labour of those people.

No. He's not a socialist.

No, I'm with you. My wife and I did watch the first series, but agreed that it was a lot of nonsense, so we watched paint dry while Celebrity Traitors was on. 🍻

Funny...
...and true, when you think about it.

Hardly any British immigrants to Spain ("expats", haha!) speak more than a word or two of Spanish after years there.

But "foreigners not integrating" here ...?
Most of them soon speak better English than Reform / UKIP voters & flag huggers

Gaza - and for all the prayers that were said no gods came to the rescue or even commented.

Agreed. Shopping in Toulouse this year I was stunned by the variety, quality and well-managed displays of all kinds of food, in all shops and supermarkets, while even the better supermarkets in England, M&S and Waitrose, are clueless.
A million curses on Brexit and all who supported it.

This. A thousand times this.

I don't think we can learn anything from America at present.

Absolutely, and what would we use for self defence anyway? Knives? Don't know how to use one. Guns? Great in a confined and crowded space. Body armour? For the whole family on a leisurely evening out? 🥷😂

In USA one may be allowed to carry guns but it obviously doesn't help. The opposite.
