every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

The BBC will fuck things up from time to time. Lots of major news organisations do; just look at The Times having to memoryhole several fake news stories in a matter of weeks. No one is calling for the abolition of The Times, however. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The BBC is a vast, complex machine that doesn't always get it right. In some cases it gets things badly wrong. Once it, as we know it now, is gone, it will never come back. The BBC is the envy of the world, yet there are those amongst us who want it choked and buried.

BBC News currently showing BBC Broadcasting House as BBC Chair says it is a sad day for the BBC as a BBC correspondent reads out resignation statements of BBC bosses

You can make ‘honest’ mistakes in politics providing you are not at least two of the following: left wing, working class, female.

“Hands up if you oversaw the greatest act of self-harm in our history, caused thousands of unnecessary deaths, broke your own rules and syphoned £millions to your mates through dodgy contracts”

My lesson learnt tonight (so far) is this I might have to start wearing trousers again of an evening

I am Kent. A county I dislike even if they do have a funicular painting on a shed. Had to look that one up. It’s closed.

Things which are not dead: Romance Things which are: Pizza Hut, dammit

FT. 4-1 to the Rooks. Smashing.

Completely off topic, but the actual HMS Surprise out off of Master and Commander in the background. Oceans are now battlefields, you know.

Afternoon all. Changes have been rung at Aveley. Walker and Chadwick both gone, no sign of Gayle. But we do have a new face up front in the shape of Lukasz Franzen-Jones. Looks like we've changed shape too.

I'm pleased that they've done this. (Although the cynic in me thinks they've seen the tea leaves about copyright and the bubble and basically that people think AI imagery and writing is shite. They could have declared this ages ago)

FT. 3-0. Not a fun watch.

Antonio cleared out by keeper in box. Ref smiles off the penalty claim. From the halfway line.

So what precisely do the right want to do about the white working classes? Certainly not go to university, as they want numbers down. Nor to have a unionised manufacturing job, as they don't want unions. No, they just want pawns as part of their culture wars. They don't give a toss.

Ok, last pics of me with my senator & former high school bandmate, and a few more very impressive people. I’m exceedingly fortunate in the people around me.

Some impressive diverts here. Also suspect linked to a power surge here last night

Britain’s Heathrow Airport will be closed Friday after a fire at an electrical substation knocked out power to the airport and thousands of homes.

A nice day of beers after watching some Lewes Juniors on the 3G(Rookery). It would be great for the Argos car park to be a pocket park or beer garden for the John Harvey Tavern!

After nearly 40 years on the air, Sally Taylor is retiring this evening from BBC South Today. What a run.

A sickening vision of the future, from a few years back on #Avenue5. May this never come to pass. youtu.be/2k_95UOQDr0?...

Well, it’s not like Google’s AI to fall for a years-old joke about a triple decker Airbus A-390 jet, is it? [checks notes] Oh.

@headforpoints.com apology if you’ve seen this…. I wonder if is a replacement instead of axing

Awful news for active travel and transport generally according to #BBCToday programme Louise Haig MP has resigned

This is sad. Lou very good, Transport Secretary Louise Haigh quits over phone admission www.bbc.com/news/article...

Naturally, all those people who screwed farms with Brexit, not replacing EU subsidies, letting climate change wreck the countryside, and doing terrible deals that put farms at a competitive disadvantage, are today on the front of their picket line, all bad blood forgotten. ~AA

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.

Stephen played a murderer several times, yet he was a passionate life-long supporter of not killing people.

Roses are red I used to like Twitter Then Elon Musk bought it And made it much shitter

Now to get more Clubs in here too

He’s already appointed a head of government efficiency who gave us the Cybertruck, and a health secretary who doesn’t believe in health. And he doesn’t take office for another two months. Good luck, America.

so am no great US politics expert but things do seem to have, quite quickly, gone batshit insane

Just remembered that time a bloke got run over by a no 17 bus in Reading, got up, brushed himself down, and went into the Purple Turtle for a pint. metro.co.uk/2017/06/27/m...

This looks important

For they have arrived and they have risen. This place is now something

Incredible that the Harris-Walz campaign is just basically this now, and it's working.
