I'm sorry no. Any attacks on the BBC are evil divisive separatist treason talk. Or is that just when the SNP do it?

"All peoples have a right to self determination" -Not you Scotland. Obvs.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

A new depth plumbed in the UKs disgraceful debate on immigration. Another "UK" debate that will had without us in the room, without our voices heard and its conclusions imposed upon us regardless of our objections.

He’s stopped fact-checking and spends time at Mar-a-Lago. And it isn’t just Zuckerberg—a whole cohort of billionaires place their companies’ fortunes above the well-being of society. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/silico...

A snapshot of Silicon Valley in 2025 is Mark Zuckerberg, now a MAGA-friendly mixed martial arts fan who doesn’t worry much about hate speech on his platforms and complains that corporate America isn’t masculine enough.

Labour pledged to reduce household energy bills. Labour lied!

Bye!

It says, “Trump is my lord and master. All hail Trump.”

Disney has lost 3.7 billion dollars in one day.

TV THAT TIME FORGOT: Mumbly (Hanna Barbera, 1976) Distant relative of Muttley sets himself up as a Columbo-style private eye, complete with James Bond-esque gadget-festooned car and a mutter-prone abrasive relationship with his superiors.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If Woodward and Bernstein were investigating the US President today, they would both have been sacked by the “Washington Post” before they got remotely close to exposing Nixon.That’s where we are!

For values of "this country" = "England".

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

The pious incantations about how awful political violence is didn’t last long.

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

GB employs more people in London than the whole of Scotland, with less than a fifth of staff based in Aberdeen

This is a very good piece by George Monbiot on the evolution of the British press and broadcasting since the 1970s. It’s good that George ends on a positive note! @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @theguardian.com @jonathan-watts.bsky.social

And who could possibly have foreseen that etc. etc.

The SNP North Ayrshire Council has been working for months to secure investment, a fact even the BBC reported on. www.bbc.com/news/article... It’s all the more baffling why the @scotnational.bsky.social chose to highlight a Labour press release highlighting people with no involvement whatsoever.

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

EXCLUSIVE: Less than a fifth of GB Energy staff work in Aberdeen – while the organisation employs more people in London than the whole of Scotland, The National can reveal

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

Does nobody in America have access to a traffic cone? Scotland would have sorted this by now...

Goodbye, Disney+!

Hard to believe this math genius bankrupted a casino

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

I see that the #BBC is promoting a NewsMax employee as a fair, balanced and insightful person to comment on Trump. For those lucky enough not to be aware of that MAGA organisation it makes Pravda look independent. But for the "new" BBC it fits perfectly into their far right/Reform world view.

Everyone should have free speech. Except leftists. And trans people. And Palestinians. And immigrants. And anyone who supports any of those people. And foreigners. And uppity women. And blacks.

Anas Sarwar wants Scotland to forget Labour’s record. We won’t.

5,448 homes with Labour. 7,734 a year with the SNP. While Labour talk, the SNP delivers.

We've now had 11 years of Blair McDougall's wonderful Better Together binfire, and it has truly turned out to be everything Yes voters predicted and more. Scotland really did make the most appalling mistake in 2014. gregmoodie.com/ten-wonderfu...

🔔 CAMPAIGN UPDATE: #LakelandUK are officially pulling their ads from GB News! A massive thank you to everyone who contacted Lakeland, asking them to #StopFundingHate - this is proof that collective action is powerful and that the change we want to see can happen quickly. ❤️‍🔥 1/3

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

This Week's Onion Magazine:

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Spookily enough, one Keir Starmer was DPP when he issued guidelines saying there should be a high bar for Malicious Communications prosecutions…

Quite the audition to be a pantomime villain this Christmas season.

🚨 POLICE TOOK OUR TRUMP & EPSTEIN VAN They're obviously terrified of THIS photo of Donald with the world’s most notorious paedophile making headlines while Trump visits the King. So whatever you do - DO NOT SHARE THIS VIDEO Location: Windsor High Street, UK #trump #epstein

the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing
