I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

BBC breached accuracy guidelines over Gaza documentary, review finds
However, inquiry into Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone says there were no other breaches, including impartiality
How many times have the BBC platformed people from the βTaxpayers Allianceβ without mentioning who funds them? That seems important but the BBC seems sunnily untroubled by that.

Seeking refuge in trivial minutiae, I remember how the Airwolf TV series pilot episode established that weapon selection *had* to be done by a systems specialist (e.g. Santini) sitting in the back, while subsequent episodes showed Hawke could just rely upon a stock clip of a hand pushing the button.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
Inaction is complicity.

So can we please all recognise that privatisation does not and CANNOT work for essential utilities, and supposed evidence to the contrary either has such tight regulation it is effectively state-run, or the company is drawing such huge taxpayer subsidies it is effectively state-supported.

Furthermore, the much-vaunted βefficienciesβ that privatised companies bring are myths. Reducing the headcount below a workable level and neglecting essential maintenance and investment (beyond one or two showpiece projects designed to deflect criticism) is NOT efficient in the desired sense.

All of this could (and was) predicted by anyone who understands the incentives in capitalism and the kind of people who thrive in it. Tory MPs who voted to remove discharge restrictions and were then *shocked* when water companies exploited it should never have been near power.

Water privatisation has demonstrably failed. Rather than the promised investment in infrastructure, we have seen asset stripping (reservoirs sold off), underinvestment (negligence of vital infrastructure), ballooning debt used to pay executives and shareholders, and disgusting systematic pollution.
