Dharmendra passed away aged 89. This was the classic Indian Spaghetti western. If you were an Indian heritage teenager in the UK in the 70's, this was a must see movie. photos.app.goo.gl/R3WjJRz5Wwzq...

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019. It’s not. He wasn’t. And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Started watching BBCQT from Sunderland on iPlayer, after 2 min, we switched back to watching Vera on ITV3...which was more authentic from the North East... ay pet.

Windsor was a made up name to distance from the German heritage at an awkward time. So maybe Andy Cake is better name...just sayin www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The access crisis in NHS dentistry was made in Westminster. Choices made at the Treasury mean practices are now delivering NHS care at a loss. But no health professional can work this way. Join over 90,000 and say it's time for change. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky retractionwatch.com/2025/10/03/w...

If Nelson Mandela was alive, he would tell you that multimillionaire María Corina Machado isn't fighting for freedom. She is siding with the oppressors, so she can make herself richer at the expense of everyone in Venezuela.

Hahahaha, the Police are asking Palestine Action supporters to suspend their peaceful protest because it takes too many Police to arrest them. Just stop arresting them then.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

This is Oxford Street, completely transformed & traffic-free. It was fantastic to see community spirit in the heart of the West End. By removing traffic, this created the space to stride, stroll and explore. This street is for everyone to enjoy with music, art, food and fun.
