The authoritarian president who'd be in prison were he not elected. who told people to drink bleach during COVID, appointed an anti-vax conspiracy theorist to oversee his nation's health and refuses to answer questions over his activities with Epstein, appears to be influencing who runs the BBC.

Since we’re in the mood for strict accuracy in broadcast news, worth noting that a rival channel had a pundit - unchallenged - say asylum seekers in hotels committed 44% of sexual offences in one county, seemingly because she cannot understand basic maths.

Surely I'm not the only one desperate to see champion flag bearers rushing over so they can "stay in 5* hotels and get access to healthcare and iPads?"

Shit-in-our-rivers-Tories say they'll abolish stamp duty? Is anyone going to ask how they propose to pay for that? Or are we just trusting the shit-in-our-rivers Tories on making sure public services are safe?

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

BBC interviewing a Republican strategist who calls the killer of Charlie Kirk, "influenced by left wing politics." There are lots of theories being touted but none have been established as fact. Indeed the opposite has also been suggested. Why are they allowing this to go unchallenged?!

Urgh! The way he laughs off his own inability to maintain stable relationships. Yet more evidence of his entitlement and sense that he is beyond reproach. See also tax affairs, gravy train accusations levelled at others in politics, his seriously woeful judgment re his associates.

“If a man has a little fight with the wife they say this was a crime”

Trump downplays domestic violence to imply it’s only being counted as a crime in D.C. to hurt him 🤔

There is no bottom

You've misunderstood. I wasn't mocking you. You said VAWG is intolerable. Then you proceeded to blame immigrants and excuse your colleague who attacked his wife because he was drunk. Most perpetrators of VAWG are partners or exes.

Vaccine warning for England as one in five children start school unprotected Experts say country needs ‘wake up call’ with levels far below those needed for herd immunity

Measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, polio, tetanus.

Diseases that used to terrorise families, killing children & babies in their thousands.

Now we have vaccines - safe & miraculous life savers.

Please, parents, use them.

Meanwhile Labour is currently planning to reduce the move on limit for asylum seekers from accommodation from 56 to 28 days. It was a disaster last time and led to a spike in rough sleeping and that's exactly what will happen again. In this toxic climate too. Disgusted and baffled as to why.

The ECHR creates a backstop of legal appeals against changes to UK Laws.

Without it the Government could scrap the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Working Hour Limits and Paid Holiday in 1 day and there is nothing you could do.

This is exactly what Farage would do.

MAGA: We'll vote for someone who'll make good use of public funds.

Bring on a swift end to this madness and let the responsible adults back in! 💪🙏

Of course you can. I too am anti-racist. I am also speaking on behalf of women who, regardless of their political views, are reduced to the sum of their parts. So I'm asking you to choose a different way to criticise someone whose views you disagree with. Or you're fuelling misogyny.

Quit commenting on women's bodies. It's so tedious and so reductive. There isn't ever a story involving a woman without someone remarking on her physique. Just don't do it. It's 2025.

There's ALWAYS one!!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.

I feel really sorry for her child being subjected to this.

Yes!!!! This one is brilliant. I remember it vividly.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

@andreajenkyns.bsky.social performance on @channel4news.bsky.social: VAWG is intolerable. @krishgm.bsky.social: but that's societal, not immigrants. Jenkyns: It is some! It's cultural! Krishnan: What about your Reform UK colleague who assaulted his wife? Jenkyns: He was drunk. Restorative justice! 🙄

Many of us would much rather share our country with people that risked their life to be here, than those who are born here but spend all of their time & energy on resentment, hatred, and conspiring to harm.

Whenever you hear ‘Undocumented illegal men’ always know there’s an extremist agenda at play:

- 40% of asylum applicants are women & children
-100% of asylum applicants undergo biometric screening & checked on international databases
-100% of asylum applicants are lawful

Look over there!

It's also teaching them nothing about the world they're growing up in. Remember when people said that access to horror videos was affecting kids' behaviour? They didn't call for access to videos to be banned!
