A brief thread on Trump renewing his threat to sue the BBC.

(Note I am not an American lawyer, this is perspective of an English legal commentator.)

GOP right now: But how could we have known that the convicted rapist we put in charge was a bad person?

Using one for work...*sigh*

NB this means that the US government is giving the US military illegal orders, and the US military is carrying them out.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group.

U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines.

They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

My energy nerds are all suggesting China is doing a shed load of stuff to reduce fossil fuel usage.
Perhaps it's propaganda, but China does make the eco hippie tools (pv panels, evs, busses, trains, hep projects etc)

Ahh. Good I see my vote to stop the right wing nutters worked.

Labour needs to explain if this company gets any UK contracts and if they do, they should be terminated

If I understand the OSA correctly, which is a bit of an if.

Isn't this illegal?

University VCs:

They spent all their energy on annoying the young (citizens of nowhere), whilst not tackling any important issues (housing).

The young are now old and broke.

I'm in the UK, so I'm unaffected by this. I just want to point out that without SEND kids (in particular ASD) your phone / computer wouldn't work - there wouldn't be an OS.

Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough, has been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm and one count of possession of bladed article following a knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday, British Transport Police said

They really, really, really have to f*cking stop. Now.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

Just done. Thanks for the reminder!

Solution to this is to vote for a different party.

Once again, if Trump really wanted to sanction Russia, he has an ideal vehicle crying out to be used; the Graham-Blumenthal act. However, he will not even allow Senate Republicans to vote on it. The only conclusion is that he really does not want to hurt Putin

Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...
