BBC headline: More North Sea drilling to be allowed in new Labour plan

🔥🔥🔥 While everyone is distracted by other budget news, Labour have just announced that they will allow more drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea 🔥🔥🔥

Genuinely catastrophic for our climate and further proof that Labour care more about corporate profits than people or planet.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Luxury cars removed from Motability scheme ahead of budget The programme has been criticised for allowing people with non-visible disabilities to get luxury vehicles as part of their welfare. The chancellor wants to support the British car market with the new...

Pointlessly evil.

Disabled people choose these brands bc they come with a guaranteed replacement vehicle WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU'RE DISABLED.

They pay the difference themselves.

So all you've done is tell disabled CEOs/working disabled people that they have to drive a Kia.

WHAT IF I WANT A FUSSY FUNERAL, ALGO? MAYBE I LIKE THE FUSS.

Oh, and cheap, no-fuss funerals :((

The Algo has decided it needs to show me adverticles about how not to have a fall in the winter months :(

Speechless

this does not appear to remotely match the BBC's own stylebook, so I would be *very* interested to know how this has happened and who made the intervention.

jesus christ, is this the style standard at the BBC now? That's fucking vile, and the entire organization should be ashamed down to its bones.

Screenshot of a news article discussing Graham Linehan’s court case. The text states that Linehan was cleared of harassing a trans activist but convicted of damaging her phone. It describes how he knocked a teenage trans woman’s phone from her hand, and includes a highlighted sentence saying: “Ms Brooks, who was 18 at the time, is a trans woman who was born a biological male.”

Screenshot of another section of the same article. It covers the judge’s comments about Linehan’s social media posts not meeting the legal definition of harassment. A highlighted portion reads: “a biological male who identifies as a woman,” referring to the complainant.

Screenshot of an additional section of the article. It summarizes the accusations, including Linehan calling the complainant derogatory names online. A highlighted section states: “Brooks, who was born a biological male but identifies as a woman.”

The evolution of the BBC article on Graham Linehan's conviction and how it describes the trans victim of this crime is beyond atrocious. They actively went out of their way to dehumanize the victim here. They removed all pronouns for her and gendered honorifics such as "Ms."

Irony not fucking pictured.

I think we all know which way this judge would have found if a trans person had done what Graham Linehan did to a 17 year old cis person.

More rights for a mobile phone than an actual human being. There is a very serious problem with the courts in this country.

it's not possible for trans ppl to get a fair hearing in a british court.

we're non-citizens.

Trying to find out where a 17 year old lives and where they go to college IS harassment. It just is.

If the cunt wasn't rich & famous, there's no way this verdict would have gone this way. THIS is two-tier justice.

More then 2,000 trafficked children and lone child asylum seekers missing from UK councils’ care Charities say vulnerable young people are being failed by local authorities, the police and central government

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

I don't think it's a coincidence that there's a big overlap between terfs and supporters of Israel's genocide. "We're the real victims despite what your eyes and ears are telling you" is the theme

The most iconic of all Doctor Who pics: Verity Lambert, the show's first producer, uses the flamethrower of the robotic baddies, the Mechanoids, to light her cigarette.

Happy Doctor Who day! To celebrate here is the greatest of Doctor Who images: Verity Lambert using a Mechanoid as a lighter.

A conspiracy theory about sex and gender is being peddled around the world by the far right A new term has been creeping into the speech of conservatives around the world.

hadley freeman is having a rant about how only desperate weirdos would believe in 'gender ideology'

yes, hadley, i agree. so why do you believe in it?

trans ppl aren't an ideology. it's basically the protocols with the word 'jews' crossed out and the word 'trannies' scribbled in in crayon

This colonial horror is happening now in Denmark.

The seventh Doctor Who dressed as the sixth.

Six-seven, six-seven *does hand gesture*

WHAT WAS THAT LAST PART

The big question is will it be 2025 or 2026 when lots of people lose their homes and livelihoods because techbros convinced moneybros that AI was going to make them extra rich?

J.K. Rowling ® @jk_rowling. 16/04/2025 Well, James, we had to choose between between male rapists being locked up with women and the eradication of women's single-sex spaces, even down to homeless shelters and rape crisis centres, and knowing we share a single opinion with Donald Trump. I'm comfortable with my choice. L LBC& @LBC • 16/04/2025 "How did you end up on the same team as the self-confessed sex offender?"

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling• 1d •.• Replying to @stingerdelux Literally nobody on my side of this argument doesn't want trans-identified people to be safe. They don't want women and girls to be LESS safe. Fact: 100% of the men women have no need to fear are on my side, because they're realistic about male violence and male sexual predation. 14 L7 45 912 ıll 8.7K 1 Cister Ally @AllyCister• •1d You have Andrew Tate, Russell Brand & Donald Fucking Trump on your side you absolute roaster!

Sarah Phillimore @SVPhillimore Follow In many ways - yes. If I were a US Citizen I would not have voted for Harris OR Trump. but if I had a gun at my head, I would have chosen Trump if only because he knows exactly the sex of the person who is being denied reproductive rights. I would rather deal with an ugly truth than a very dangerous lie from a smiling face. Ficentine @Ficentine • 1d Kamala Harris is a worse option than Trump? 14:39 • 06/11/2024 • 1.5K Views

Rowling is “comfortable” with him.

And Phillimore’s views on why she’d vote for him are just… 🤮

These claims of “forced sterilisations and hysterectomies” are from Trump’s first term.

And transphobes like Janice Turner call him a feminist hero.

This is really very scary for any number of reasons, but mostly because fundamental human rights should be fundamental - they should not be subject to removal at the whim of a government. Article 3 is non-derogable (you are not able to deviate from it for any reason). It should not be up for debate!
