The documentary, that is narrated by a child in the Gaza Strip, takes the viewer through a journey on surviving the Israeli onslaught. In order to appease the powerful Israeli lobby, the BBC violated their own standards on journalistic integrity and removed the documentary with the BBC iPlayer.

I noticed that the dear girl is out in the public again, and this time in association with a news story about a study on the skin colour changes of prehistoric Europeans over time. So here she is, Lola, the Danish birch pitch chewing gum girl.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

I'm begging people to remember that 'meritocracy' was coined for a work of satirical fiction. It is not a real thing, and, as the satire suggested, defining 'merit' as a standalone measurable individual quality is impossible.

Riddle me this why is it we can give £3bn to one failing Water Company to keep it going for another 6 months. But we need to take £3bn off Disabled People. Surely it should be the other way around?

Most of UK’s big build-to-rent developers owned by foreign private equity firms. They don't build for families or the poor. Profiteering, debt, tax dodges are the game. They expect govt contracts and land to boost business. Councils can build cheaper, eliminate profiteering.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

High Court ruling expected this week on whether Thames Water can borrow another £3bn at 9.75%. If allowed customer bills will rise, sewage dumping & dividends will continue. If not, bankruptcy looms. Govt wants to temporarily renationalise, then reprivatisatise. Wrong policy. archive.ph/OTgtH

This matters. The jokes they cut weren't even political. If the BBC is already censoring even someone like Tennant in favour of Trump we are in trouble deadline.com/2025/02/baft...

Poorest fifth in England pay 4.8% of income in council tax; richest fifth 1.5%. 27% real term cut in council funding since 2010, govt hand tax cuts to corporations/rich. Poor hit with regressive taxes VAT Fuel duty Wages taxed at higher rates than dividends, capital gains. Need tax justice.

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

The Nine Stone Close stone circle in Derbyshire was thought to be a dancing ground for faeries. A local legend tells of a farmer who discovered a clay pipe at the stones; on smoking it, he was able to see into the realm of Faerie. #OccultBritain #StandingStoneSunday

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Scotland reinvests over £100 million from its Crown Estate into its communities annually. While Labour says devolving the Welsh Crown Estate is a ‘waste of time’, Plaid Cymru is fighting to give Wales the same economic opportunities. @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social
