Well, that and electoral fraud…

Because of even stupider people voting for him…

YouTube video by Isabella Mars Impact Trailer 1949 - A Film Noir starring Brian Donlevy and Ella Raines, directed by Arthur Lubin

#blackandwhitefilm of the day: Impact, 1949. A cracking #FilmNoir which sees wealthy businessman Brian Donlevy fall foul of #femmefatale wife Helen Walker. There's plenty of delicious twists in the plot as murder impacts hard on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social at 3.05pm youtu.be/N8QgaqN4umM?...

Also: he did say those things. He’s since pardoned people *convicted* of violence in his cause.

Thank you.

For about a decade now I have refused to appear on all male panels and it has forced several events to have to reorganise themselves. I wish one of the five on this panel had thought to mention it as an issue. Might have saved everyone some embarrasment.

I have made clear this sends a terrible signal about what they consider the 'future of the UK research system' to be and I'd not attend such an event.

Expecting them to scramble for a token female speaker by the time of the event next week now that I've raised this with them

Just been invited to the launch event of a report considering the 'future of the UK's research system' where they will be considering the creation of disruption labs named after Ada Lovelace and the report will be introduced by a panel of five men

WTF have they got him on? And Farage on everything? They are your enemy, guys! Why are you giving them sofa time? #bbcnewsnight

Can we at least admit now there’s no “special relationship” between the US & UK (unless it’s an abusive one)? The US government is a hostile state, alongside Russia. It couldn’t be clearer. #BBC

Trump was impeached for inciting the riots and only rescued by partisan forces. Let’s get some perspective on this. And the programme spent way more time giving a voice to Trump supporters. As CNN man said, you have to stand up to a bully. And why is Rees-Mogg on?? #newsnight

What do you call it when a British MP takes direct calls from a foreign leader to conspire against the BBC, our national broadcaster?

The BBC Surrenders to Trump The capitulation of our national broadcaster to the political forces most determined to destroy it is a worrying sign of things to come

The BBC has long pursued a strategy of appeasing its enemies and alienating its friends.

The result is an endless series of capitulations to those political forces most determined to destroy it

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Neither Tim Davie nor Deborah Turness incited an insurrection against the US Capitol. Congressman didn’t have to flee for their lives because of a BBC Panorama edit.

That all happened because of President Donald Trump. If he didn’t resign, it’s truly *insane* that anyone else does.

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die.

An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

Forced to resign over how a video shown on the BBC of Donald Trump over a year ago was edited.

Please remind me who runs the BBC.

Because it looks like it's the USA.

And the US elections! Second to one prisoner on the loose and a vape shop scam.

Every day last week, bulletins across all outlets led on “foreign criminal” mistakenly released (released, not escaped) from Wandsworth & “special expo” of “migrant vape shops”, as well as “1-in-1-out” failures & asylum hotels.

Why is M&S playing clubby music in some of its food stores again? Thought they acknowledged their customers don’t like it.

This. It’s total fascist playbook: black is white & white is black.

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit Davie says

This is absolutely nuts

Trump did incite the January 6 riot. Splicing a video to make that point is shoddy editorial but hardly a resignation event

When BBC is needed more than ever, Telegraph/Boris Johnson running the show

I do care what the reason is, because it’s the exact opposite of the truth & will be used to further promote the Faragist agenda: bsky.app/profile/ming...

We’re already there…

This should be a lesson for Labour (but of course they won’t heed it): you can never be right wing enough for the fascists. Appease them, they’ll still destroy you.

What a fucking joke. What a shitty stupid fucking joke.

He was a truly terrible director general. There were many reasons he could have gone. This is really the most preposterous and absurd.
