Could do with just being...better. Being genuinely unbiased and evidence driven would be a start. I know there's a tendency to critique news if it doesn't cover things the way you personally want, but, as someone who listened to it religiously, its reporting has tanked and they allow misinformation.
From a Short Residence in Denmark, etc “ England and America owe their liberty to commerce, which created a new species of power to undermine the feudal system. But let them beware of the consequence; the tyranny of wealth is still more galling and debasing than that of rank.”
Oh Mary Wollstonecraft, the revolutionary you are!!! The things you understand!!!!
The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
Last Post on this.
Churchill has only been on the £5 since September 2016. Before that it was Elizabeth Fry the prison reformer.
Did Farage call her removal woke too?
This isn't some ancient tradition but Farage is ridiculous. And that statement is timeless
Could please somebody invent a few real problems so British politics can find something to worry about.
*Checks world news*
Oh.
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
Fantastic news! Cancer death rates in the UK have fallen to a historic new low.
“For cervical cancer, there has been a 75% drop in death rates since the 1970s, with the NHS cervical screening programme credited as having a big impact.”

I'm sorry, but what the ACTUAL fuck?
Scrapping jury trials is an affront to the very foundations of our democracy.
From the moment this government was elected, it has come after the civil liberties we all hold dear.
This is yet another outrageous assault on our fundamental freedoms. I will be voting against it.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Also today, apparently, it’s exactly 60 years since the Evening Standard published the interview in which John Lennon said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus, and nobody in the UK batted a fucking eyelid
This is interesting.
That's, like, Greg Egan or Peter Watts
I’m not sure “we’re trying to end the world” is a great message for improving morale.
fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
Daily Mail+ I'm trapped and under attack in Dubai - while back home in Chichester my daughters are furious, the labradoodles are sick and, worst of all, I left my Mounjaro pen in the fridge
I thought the title was meant to entice one to read the piece, not contain the entire piece.
That's one way to find out that the US and Israel might have had slightly different war aims post-Khamenei, I guess.
First question to look for is: what do they call “social media”? After all, the OSA was five years of fighting cynically drafted attempts to chuck any site/service on the open internet under the Facebook bus. And they are still trying with separate legislation.

Course in the good old days Andrew wouldn’t have waited around to be arrested, he would have fled somewhere like Ghent a few years back, built up a court in exile by welcoming disaffected sorts - Lord Mandelson, Prince Harry, Baroness Mone, ex-Mayor Johnson - then launched an invasion via Wales.
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
