Here is a bit of my resignation speech from last night

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Nice to see you, to see you, EXCELLENT

Well said…

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

I used to believe in the motto Nation Shall Speak PEACE Unto Nation. When even that becomes the problem for those who are running it, it is no longer OUR BBC… For shame…

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The problem with the BBC being the nation’s finest engine for soft power, is that people have realised that they can easily exert hard, nasty, cruel power on it, and bend it out of shape. Empathy, curiosity and compassion shouldn’t be problematic qualities that need silencing. Seems they are now.

Like an arsonist returning to a crime scene; fuck off, you absolute fucking tufted blancmange!!!

Not comfortable with the celebrations in some replies, but the article is weird. Paints him as a working class hero and "character", rather than a man with a lifetime of violence.and hooliganism, who fell to his death while taking part in a festival of xenophobia. It normalises it. Dangerous.

This. A billion times this…

We trivialise influenza at our peril; an unusual H3N2. We don't know how bad this wave will be, but #NHS is (predictably) overwhelmed every year by "winter pressures". RSV also on the up. We could do so much to prevent, yet some prefer to minimise 🙄 mol.im/a/15375235

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk It isn’t so much the children who should be banned from using social media - it’s the grown ups: Cambridge Analytica, Bannon, Brexit - the imminent prospect of Europe being squeezed out of existence between two klepto-fascistic powers. Social media was the vector.

This is the same group that seems to have an open invitation to appear on every single BBC political programme going, without ever declaring their funding

The pull up test of medical authority

Let’s see what @fubsyshabaroon.bsky.social can do with this one…

I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking about Hitler’s Olympics in 1936.

OPPENHOMER Thirty years of exposure to the radiation in his job at the nuclear plant have made a mild-mannered safety inspector the most dangerous item on Earth. "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds... mmm, worlds."

Well worth a read/listen imho and then share far and wide please x

Yinke Bankola says he was 9 when the sixth form Dulwich school prefect Nigel Farage, aged 17, asked him where he was from, then told him "that's the way back to Africa". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just incredible. Also, this shows you can make Doctor Who, proper Doctor Who on a presumably tiny budget if you rely on script over spectacle. Also, what happens next?

Best episode of Doctor Who this year. Can't imagine the Stupid Sexy Sea Devils show beating it.

James O’Brien proving when it comes to journalism, you should be less Natasha Clark, and more Simon Marks!!! youtu.be/Udnc1EaFBRE?si

Well done Emma Barnett on #r4today exposing the blatant antisemitism of Richard Tice, MP (and deputy leader of Reform) - he called the Jewish man abused at school by Nigel Farage with the foulest of antisemitic language a liar and said it was “lefty twaddle”… A new low for Farage, Tice, and Reform…

So the Daily Mail owner's wife has just given £50,000 to Nigel Farage's Reform UK

And now, Christmas Day 2025 on BBC One:

#PMQs Natasha Clark gets a taste of her own medicine… youtu.be/2l70KRoKM2g?...

I'd have more respect for Natasha Clark if she had the humility to acknowledge that she's part of an hysterical press pack who lie, mislead and ultimately serve the interest of billionaires. @lbc.co.uk

Come on Clarke, Usherwood was way more balanced in his opinion responses. #lbc #torynotindisguise

Lobby hack moaning that she's been misled is a laughable. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

@natashaclark.bsky.social wearing her blue rosette with pride today. As if anyone takes gossiping lobby hacks seriously. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc #PMQs

And for those of you yet to like it, here's that same listing with up to 75% off.

That right @mrjamesob.bsky.social, get the ex-Murdoch shill told. #PMQs

Oh dear, it’s not your day, is it Natasha? #PMQs

“I’ll tell you one thing: whoever it was who went around whispering ‘gas the Jews’ - IT WASN’T JEREMY CORBYN!!!” says STEWART LEE www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Even after the monumental shithouse of a week Farage has deservedly had, the very worst thing of all for him must surely be his having been successfully dunked on by Reeves.

Farage, right now:

Rachel Johnson defends the actions & inactions of her brother Boris Johnson during COVID: "It's as though my brother was the Grim Reaper." This pathetic & repulsive comment was broadcast on LBC. And deserves the response below.

Vanessa Feltz on @LBC just played Boris Johnson’s sister who played a script raging in defence of her feckless brother. The bloody arrogance & nepotism of that bloody family. A caller then described her husband dying of a brain tumour, totally isolated from friends & help. Poor woman

Oh my God, this is even worse!!!

"eats, shits and leaves."
