Regardless, it was never about protecting anyone.

Reform are having turkey with a vodka chaser

The same people are putting flags up on lamp posts.

True…

Sigh.

Funny how we only want to take politics out of it when it’s a left-leaning government. Not when it’s a right-leaning government.

That’s called ratcheting.

MS Office reached peak usability in about 2005. All downhill since then.

The relationship between the far right and Putin’s Russia goes deep and wide.

That’s soft power, right there. You’d think the government would take an interest.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

This is perfect…

Balance: that was someone explaining the truth, and now for balance we’ll have someone telling a convenient and comforting lie.

For those who are trying to understand the position of the Democrats in the US Senate, try picturing the Charlie Brown cartoon with Lucy holding the football ready for Charlie Brown to kick…

Hmm. 15 years ago. I wonder what happened 15 years ago…

Let me get this straight.

GB News is accusing the BBC of bias?

And in 1979 we had Thatcherism and “Get on yer bike”. Three million unemployed, “greed is good”, and “there’s no such thing as society”. If you want to know where that leads, you’re looking at it.

The BBC swapped objectivity for balance under the current leadership and the previous government and that’s where the rot set in. Objectivity went out the window and politicians were able to spout lies unchallenged, all in the name of balance.

I recently responded to a BBC survey on bias (among other things). The survey concluded that people wanted more “balance”. It reminded me very much of that episode of Yes Minister and Sir Humphrey on surveys.

Yes

So bribing people with their own money?

Shame on them.

We’re already in the situation where they have limited those being compensated to a fraction of the author’s whose work was stolen, through the mechanism of US copyright registration.

And embedded in that is the idea that the BBC is a liberal organisation. It only appears so because Conservative politics has drifted so far to the right.

Prison, is what needs to happen.

Should that be Satin?

Go and see Black Is The Colour Of My Voice. It’s excellent

Run out of bread?

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

It’s Conservative Feminism defined by men, by any chance?
