OKING

And, as she pointed out: oh look, they’ve eliminated the woman from the image. Also, the person with specialist knowledge, training and qualifications.
But promoting the man with no training, quals or specialist knowledge, so that’s alright then.

Come on, Grauniad!!!! Do better!

Please correct this. Professor Alice Roberts goes witch hunting, accompanied by tv “personality” Rylan. The media minimises women enough, I expected slightly better from the guardian.

Promotion image from The Guardian for a program called Witches of Essex. Image shows Professor Alice Roberts along side a man in a brown shirt. His face is obscurred by the logo of the paper.

TV tonight: Prof. Alice Roberts goes witch-hunting in Elizabethan Essex

I’m sure they didn’t mean to eliminate the woman in this image.

Well Shrewsbury is doing its self proud tonight. What a great audience on #BBCQT.

Write to her and encourage her.

Just awful. I have just shared the BBC article on Bluesky. Choosing to call.the new Archbishop Dame Sarah. Protocol dictates her second name is used even without her being the boss. Of course all.the men named in the article have second names. #everydaysexism

Sarah Mullally named as new Archbishop of Canterbury She becomes the first female leader of the Church of England, replacing Justin Welby who resigned over his handling of a safeguarding scandal.

Good news a woman has broken the CofE glass ceiling. BUT why refer to her as Dame Sarah. Why no last name ? Whilst all the men in the articles have last names. @BBCnews #respect #everydaysexism.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

"What the feck do I care about the people for I am a Conservative" Best line so far #HouseofGuiness

Met Police officers could be made to reveal Freemason ties The move comes after the force's handling of the 1987 murder of private detective Daniel Morgan.

Great now the Masons need to address why most of the groups are only open to men.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

Shouldn't need saying - but sadly it does

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed.

Like if they should.
RT if Israel should be kicked out

Well done @garylinker.bsky.social NTV award very very well deserved. Great speech too. Take note #BBC. You got it wrong

If BBC News continue to claim that they present both sides of every story for balance ...

... why do they never report how dangerous Reform & Farage are to the economy, the people and Britain in general?

No other side of the story reports there. They accept their story completely.

Nigel Farage dodged Stamp Duty.

Time to resign.

MAGA cult slayer

And this is why we love Dave Matthews

REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”

I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

Is this a real.attempt at peace or a just a party in Alaska to distract from Epstein Files ?
Why was Zelensky not invited?

So its not true. Donald Trump is lying to his country again to build his dictatorship.

Lib Dem Leader Meets BBC Boss To Complain About Level Of Reform Coverage Exclusive: Ed Davey has met with BBC boss Tim Davie to complain about the broadcaster’s coverage, which the Liberal Democrats claim is weighted too...

Ed Davey: "BBC’s Farage obsession is a joke. Reform has 4 MPs, Lib Dems have 72 - yet get sidelined. This isn’t journalism, it’s free PR. If the Beeb’s chasing shock value over vote count, just admit it and drop the "balanced" act."
