As predicted, Starmerโ€™s far-right targeting of food delivery drivers has led to an attack.

As a driver, you absolutely donโ€™t need to go at 30mph in a town or city, 20mph is more than enough

Not to defend NYT but at the same time they have a long running definition into Trumpโ€™s executive order broadening the definition of death and how bad that has been/could be

These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the siteโ€™s own AI for why itโ€™s like that.

Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for motorists when they see a bike lane

I would also like a prison to have I guess external walls that a hotel doesnโ€™t normally have? They feel quite pricey

Scottish Labour have returned to the winning message of โ€œSNP bad! They spent money on prison for murderers and rapistsโ€

โ€œhave the same rightsโ€ is such a legalist argument because yes, โ€œgender reassignmentโ€ is mentioned in the equality act but trans people blatantly do not have the same right to self expression and freedom from fear that cis people

Wasnโ€™t Osborneโ€™s austerity only made so painful by Thatcher/Lawsonโ€™s upwards wealth transfer and mass privatisation?

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. Itโ€™s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

I donโ€™t think a bigot can be trusted to treat patients. I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s a bold claim but I wouldnโ€™t feel comfortable receiving medical treatment from a homophobe

palestinian self-determination is the inalienable right of the palestinian people and should not be conditional on whether israel do or do not decide to finally abide by some actual rules

My "favorite" Kessler "fact check" was when he called Bernie Sanders a liar for correctly noting that "Three people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America." Kessler's argument was that it doesn't count because "people in the bottom half have essentially no wealth."

Sandie Peggie โ€˜wanted to post bacon through mosque letterboxโ€™, tribunal told SANDIE Peggie allegedly told colleagues that she โ€œwanted to post bacon through the letterbox of a mosqueโ€, a tribunal has heard ...

The anti-trans groups are desperately spinning to "yeah she's racist but she should be free to be transphobic" but who I really want to hear from are the Labour Politicians who ran to her defence and hear if they want a brazenly racist nurse serving the public.

Also sorry, but are we seriously expected to believe theyโ€™d be going with this line if evidence emerged of Beth Upton saying something, say, misogynistic for example?

Gender row nurse โ€˜wanted to post bacon through mosque letterboxโ€™, tribunal told Sandie Peggie has lodged a claim against NHS Fife and Dr Beth Upton, citing four claims under the Equality Act 2010.

Respect to the brave witness coming forward about this womanโ€™s appalling racism. People involved in this show trial are being exposed to abuse thanks to bigots with massive platforms news.stv.tv/east-central...

I mean this is just outright hate speech. This is vile. Congratulations to everyone in our national parliament who fell over themselves to present this person as some kind of saint being unfairly persecuted by the vicious trans lobby. You should be ashamed.

EXCLUSIVE: NHS Fife nurse Sandie Peggie mocked victims of Pakistan floods in series of racist posts The offensive messages, detailed below, emerged in an evidence bundle seen by The Courier at the tribunal in Dundee.

The Courier reports on Sandie Peggie's racist posts, where she used the term "p*kis" and said that, following devistating floods, Pakistan looked like a "giant bowl of coco pops".

Sandie Peggie is supported in her case by Sex Matters.
