American Christmas has finally started!

Evergreen. The Dampest Isle continually finding innovative solutions to the Not Weird Enough problem.

Just looked this up: Palestine tried to join the European Broadcasting Union in 2012 but was rejected because the International Telecommunications Union has not recognised Palestine as a part of the European Broadcasting Area but does recognise Israel. Israel also blew up the HQ of the PBC in 2002.

Excellent news. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Ultimately this is the point where the wider state needs to step in with a massive banhammer Block the website from UK IPs, imprision anyone involved with the company who visits the UK. The state does have power here, but has learned helpnessness with tech

From today, over 96,000 unpaid carers in Scotland will receive a £293.50 Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment - extra support that’s only available here in Scotland. Dignity and fairness in action. That’s what you get with an SNP government.

Can’t be overstated how much of this in the UK has been driven by bored middle aged people who used to think of themselves as a bit of a radical and now hates the idea that they’re no longer part of the freethinking young set. It’s a form of generational resentment.

Absolutely never paying the license fee ever, not listening to any BBC radio broadcasts, or reading any online material published by the BBC.

If JKR is willing to destroy every women's and girls' organisation and institution in this country in her crusade against trans rights, make her fucking do it. Call her bluff. Full juridicial kamikaze. Show everyone how much these ghouls really care about women's and girls' spaces.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

As an ex President of a WI I am so sad about the news, I can't see why this had to happen, 40 years transwomen have been fully welcomed as members, with sisterly solidarity and love. Sad and angry this had to change. Why a group can't just say we're alright ta, leave us as we are, it's no problem?

If it were steel works we would have a government bailout plan, yet losing thousands of jobs at unis is met with a shrug. & unlike steelworks universities were profitable when they had foreign students. You are killing the golden goose… one of our best exports… HOW IS THIS HELPING GROWTH?!

Hard to read this and not feel a flare of righteous fury at the absolute cruelty that underpins the anti-trans movement. Just diabolical to force a tiny number of girls and young women out because you've let your twitter algorithm convince you they're dangerous. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

University of Essex announces closure of Southend campus.

I know military folks have their oath and aren't supposed to obey illegal orders or commit war crimes, but like .. the entire history of the US military.

Lies, damned lies and the Telegraph. They posted CSJ figures using an outrageously false comparison of 2 cases. It claimed a benefits family were better off by £18k than a working household when the real figure was £16k worse off. The details benefitsinthefuture.com #benefits #budget

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

The British government and forces left their local translators and interpreters to be killed by the Taliban so they couldn't give evidence in any war-crimes trials

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Kenny's Bookshop and Art Gallery in Galway city is celebrating 85 years as a family business this weekend.

How is Israel reliant on constant, unwavering, active support from the US? Well, it's not as simple as "arms sales." There's much, much more. Read here (and more coming soon!) someforeignfield.substack.com/p/the-myth-o...
