From duties of care to "if you were offended", the Beeb handled this so poorly. As @avavidal.bsky.social says, "What also has happened is instead of this being a moment that could have promoted understanding, two marginalised groups are now fighting." www.independent.co.uk/voices/bafta...
I spoke about this more in depth on @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social’s show yesterday (from 2-2.30) Not only are 2 groups fighting but Black people with TS who sit at the intersection had an opportunity to be listened to and understood, were placed in the crosshairs www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...
On LBC at 2pm with Shelagh Fogarty discussing this. Tune in!
I wrote about the BAFTAS, disability and the N word for @independentvoices.bsky.social Please read and share! 😘 www.independent.co.uk/voices/bafta...
In solidarity with Apple Martin. I was expelled from boarding school(s). Move along! Nothing to see here. Get over it!

I really want to punch the Black people who are posting how much Epstein hated Black people alongside commentary like ‘Sometimes racism pays off’ directly in their faces. Do you think they were spared? Or treated even worse?
Also there are rings of these men that target Black girls specifically.
Thanks so much! The name I was looking for isn’t there
I mean where do I find the files in the first place? Sorry I’m rubbish with this stuff
Does anyone on here know how to search for a particular name in the Epstein files?
The outgoing police and crime commissioners were there to put the safety of counties first, which will be harder under the new structure, says Festus Akinbusoye www.independent.co.uk/voices/polic...

This is so funny. This woman thinks cause she travelled to Israel, dehumanised Palestinians and demonised Muslims, every Jewish person in the world owed her something. Support expecting reciprocity isn’t support. Serves her right.
Defend what you believe in. Not what you think will benefit you.
He’s definitely wrong on this. Why would you keep a backstabber in your ranks?! Make it make sense
Fantastic piece.
I’m no Kemi fan but she did exactly the right thing getting rid of Jenrick. Starmer should do the same to Streeting. Corbyn didn’t get rid of him - now look!!
I think it’s easy to make jokes about groups of people you don’t have in your social circle. You don’t have to face them afterwards!
Thank you so much
I’m sorry
You should try. YOLO baby!
Do you do stand up? If yes, anything I could watch anywhere?
Sorry. Glad I didn’t add to your suffering x
Do you have any of your work online I could watch?
Loneliness and solitude are my happy places so I can’t relate to that. It’s my dream to live on a mountain top in Dominica with a moat in front of it!
Nooooo! I just thought you were showing me how it could have been done. Years in comedy means I rarely laugh out loud at anything anymore. But your joke made me laugh loudly 😆
Is this to me? I never thought you were attacking me at all…
That’s bloody brilliant 😂😂😂
That makes it completely different. I’d have no good reason to tell a joke like that except to be a c**t
I made a mistake. Some people are being offered it free with ads and others had to pay £1 to register for 6 months. Just checked with my editor and he said it was something to do with the algorithm. I know nothing about these things. Apologies!
That was the episode! I didn’t want to say who did it. You have a very good memory x
I dunno where he is. I don’t do comedy much anymore. Perhaps he is writing again? He used to do a lot of that
No it wasn’t him. He was a really decent guy. He was not cruel in his material so please don’t attach that type of behaviour to his name. He’s not even here to defend himself. May he continue to rest in peace.
