I’d underline: these are just members of the public blamelessly going about their working day. This could be you, if these horrible people decided to switch their focus to something else. This could be your wife, your brother, your daughter, if they decided it was in their interest to fuck with you.

Just organise and beat up the bully. I did it twice as a kid.

Here we go again. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I think I'd like to join a choir just so I can sing the opening credits to The Good Fight.

Today's a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin, British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose untimely death meant three men shared a Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA for which she'd done most of the work.

Saw someone share an article about a 9 month investigation to see if Twitter’s algorithm is amplifying far right content. Next for that journalist: spending the best part of a year investigating if you can find shoes in a shoe shop.

Labour Manifesto 2019: 'Labour will replac(e) the DWP on day one with a Department for Social Security, which will be there to help and support people, not punish and police them.' #CouldHaveHad

Lawyers bang on, po-faced, about preserving public confidence in the law until our ears bleed with it but Wilhoit nailed the truth: 'there are in-groups, whom the law protects but does not bind and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.'

This is wild enough to me; I cannot imagine how weird it sounds to people whose main language doesn't even have gendered pronouns

As the BBC carries anecdotal claims from a disgruntled former BBC staffer that it has a pro trans bias here is *actual* polling about trans people's level of trust in the BBC. (The BBC refused to carry the polling, the first of what it is like to live in Britain as trans, because it is "too weak".)

The EHRC are an incompetent national embarassment, fully reflective of the out of touch, corrupt and amoral political and media classes, but representative of noone else in the country. It needs completely gutting and rebuilding from first principles.

fun how you can learn about the causes of the 2008 economic crisis, and then see all the same things happening now, and so what. ha! those who do study history are doomed to repeat it also!

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

"felt within her rights"?!? She was exercising her human rights

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Angela Rayner's work is starting to pay off, after leaving office (as is often the way) www.gov.uk/government/n...

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Another amazing article worth a read and share! metro.co.uk/2025/11/07/c...

The majority of what we wrote about the media in this story back when it first took place, is true two years on - it would have been her 19th birthday today www.wearequeeraf.com/brianna-ghey...

Correcting the statement put out today by the EHRC, TACC has published the following statement. tacc.org.uk/2025/11/07/s...

I suspect a lot of the loudest poppy people aren't aware poppies are historically for charity fundraising, and not for signalling your support for Are Boys

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have “earnings over £125,140” I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Anyone earning 71k and even vaguely implying that it is insufficient deserves to be put on 12 months community service and have their salary donated to a homeless shelter.

If they even slightly believed it they'd swap. The reality is, their high salary just doesn't afford what it used to. Because of spiralling wealth inequality. Life on benefits is miserable. Financially miserable and miserable through the disdain the media generate too.

Shame on the passengers and bus driver. Having children is a choice, being disabled is not 😡 www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

Buried in the article: “Over a period of six months, researchers estimate that COVID-19 infections led to 2.24 extra cases of myocarditis or pericarditis per 100,000 children, while vaccinations led to 0.85 extra cases per 100,000.” The scare tactic of the headline is what’s wrong with media today

The UK population in the 30s & 40s was not an homogeneous mass who were all against fascism. Get hold of a copy of ‘Black Shirts in Devon by Todd Gray’. Bit of an eye opener. Caused a stink in early 2000s as families named still lived in the area.

Let me just correct that for you. Matt...

Caught lying again.

The BBC’s in a mess, but it’s not the mess you think www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

I’d say “We can’t go on like this” but the brutal truth is, we very much *can* go on like this: it wouldn’t be happening if our political and media elite felt safe and secure, and they have demonstrated over and over that they will always stomp on the accelerator rather than admit what they’ve done.

This system of McCarthyist screaming and bullying of unpeople the crank right hates and wants to destroy, by important people and the press in unison, is not new. It seems Britain isn’t even as sane as 1950s America, where Joe was undone because he was dumb enough to target the army.

This is how we turn our country around. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zack-p...

Taxing the super rich is actually the extremely moderate position compared with what A) they deserve and B) is likely necessary to restore anything like a functioning democratic order to public hands

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension. It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

Flags and Christian nationalist slogans feature in soaring attacks on UK mosques

What a terrible, irresponsible headline. The answer is infection is *far* more of risk than vaccination. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Never underestimate the power of getting together with a bunch of people who want good things to happen and then working out together how to make them happen.

Roller derby is truly a demonstration of the power people hold, that attacks on trans people involved in sport can happen, be endorsed by the government and legal system, and a bunch of people nevertheless said "nah we're going to do it trans inclusively instead anyway fuck you this is our thing".

www.ticketsource.co.uk/arcadia-roll... Great news: Manchester's 3 roller derby teams are getting together to have a massive fundraiser event for Trans rights. Please get your tickets at this link and come support trans inclusive sport

Wrote a thing about why it’s probably time to ban X in the UK - substack.com/inbox/post/1...

I think it speaks volumes in these cases about who is being intimidated and bullied given that pictures of trans women are often blurry candids snapped by journos outside the court whereas the cis women are in posed group photographs.

New Prevent data released, and for the first time it includes the ethnicity of those recommended. Of 8,778 referrals in 2025: 65%White 19% Asian 8% Black 8% Other Musk, Robinson, Lowe etc, are responsible for radicalisation of young white men.... news.sky.com/story/highes...

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents. This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children. The cruelty is the point.

To those defending the government's record to date: If your take is that while you appreciate that things may not be getting better quickly enough, "at least they're not getting worse" I'd suggest you're clearly not looking at the groups for whom things *are* getting actively and rapidly worse.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social shows us how to fight back - without throwing ANY minority under the bus.

Peter Oborne once believed the anti-Semitism lie about Jeremy Corbyn. He has since apologised, unlike many.BBC spread the lie through News,satire (smug Hislop & spineless Merton)& 'investigative journalism'(Panorama).Admitting you're wrong is a principled act. The BBC has no such principles #bbcbias
