a company going into liquidation is one thing but if the same principals are reacquiring their own company while conveniently claiming they now own all the existing assets but none of the liabilities, that's just a scam

“The British public, on both the left and the right, has almost no grasp of what we will lose if we let the BBC go.” The left know what we’ll lose: an institution responsible for facilitating the rise of Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage, and lending think tanks like the IEA unwarranted legitimacy

When we get to the other side of this, we need to work towards ending selective college admissions. I'm tired of hearing about them, they've very obviously deranged politics, and they're a distraction from higher ed as experienced by most. Enough is enough.

there is a labour government that just won a landslide, go yell at them if you are worried about the bbc, not randos on the internet who have no power.

The Labour Party is somehow convinced that this picture contains enough voters to guarantee them a second term in government

This reliably infuriates me because it's the most wasteful thing a government can do - the ability of this £113bn to crowd in private sector investment is vastly reduced because it's unpredictable and unreliable; you can't plan based on special treats and exceptions.

Is there another political operation anywhere on earth that openly and volcanically despises its own supporters like this, with politicians that loudly say so?

Why do people yell at the powerless left to save the BBC from the tories when there is a landslide labour government in charge. Shitposters aren't gonna save or destroy it

The BBC burned through an almost incredible amount of goodwill with the people who naturally support it because it's run by people who think right wing newspaper editors are legitimate human beings and immigrants aren't.

Jake Tapper looking like an absolute idiot tonight, completely missed that Joe Biden was actually dead and replaced by clones and body doubles in 2020. His book proven entirely wrong.

this should be obvious, but people with sociopathic levels of concern for other people do not actually care if "more people can afford houses" or whatever

Hind Khoudary reports that in two of the 'aid distribution hubs' Israel has established in southern Gaza Israeli drones & tanks have opened fire on Palestinians collecting aid. Many people have been killed, shot in the head or upper body as they were trying to get food parcels

Remember when Biden randomly and inexplicably lied and told a gaggle of reporters that Aysenur Eygi was killed by a stray bullet which had hit the ground and then ricocheted up and into her skull

Don't you think it's a little bit... odd, JK Rowling, for you to be talking about my "anal leakage" and "wetting myself"? I mean, surely even you can see this is strange?

stigma is part of how society enforces norms, and ‘don’t be yoked to the fucking gills when making policy decisions at White House’ is a fine norm to enforce. give me a break. this wasn’t someone getting buzzed on their own time and showing up to work with it still in their system but functional.

drug and alcohol abuse/addiction can certainly turn people into fucking assholes and I don't think a desire to destigmatize harmless/helpful drug use should make people forget that

Even when we tell our own stories, they have to check with those who hate us before they publish.

Quoting anti-trans activists for “balance” is like quoting racists for “balance” or antisemites for “balance” or anti-vaxers for “balance” or eugenicists for balance or climate change deniers for “balance” or flat-earthers for “balance”… You get the idea. The BBC has been at this for too long.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the current PLP has no institutional memory, and I don't think that is down to so many of the current crop being novices. Literal books have been written bragging about its role in the most recent regicide.
