When he said that nonsense about how important "human dignity" was to him, what stopped you from bringing up disability rights, trans rights, or the genocide he has sponsored and excused?
Did you have a cough?
Something stuck in your throat?
You point at Reform and warn of fascism, but it's here.

Capitalism claimed so many more and continues to do so.
Sit down and shut up, you daft prick.

The food pyramid implies food pharoes; which, in turn, implies that food supports Israel's genocide against the pharaoh and ... somehow... Palestine.
I'm not sure.
I'm sure some cunt with an Israeli sounding name will provide an excuse for it.

Thank you for this.
I kinda need it.

This is tone-deaf horseshit and you should be deeply embarrassed and humiliated.

OMG. is Julie Burchill still a thing?
How wretched is UK journalism that it reached down the toilet and retrieved this memory of drunken regret to comment on this?
She keeps degrading her eager obituary with every word she writes.

It's been going on way longer than that.
The BBC started inaccurately reporting on the economy to install Cameron in 2010.
They reversed footage in the miner's strike.
Everything you love about the BBC is an accident in their primary purpose.

I'm not sure that's correct.
Farage was created by the BBC, to corral the witless right. Look at his ubiquitous presence on #BBCQT.
They will try to regain control of him, and thereby, the right-wing working class.
They are misreading the public, however. The left now want the beeb to burn.

Every news source has an agenda.
Try the DNS, the Canary and so on.
The UK has been internationally condemned for its treatment of disabled people.
The rest of the world are well aware of it.
The UK ... not so much.

As would I.
My reticence to allow *this* monstrously cack-handed bill from #KimDeadbetter to become law is having lived in this country as a disabled person for decades.
There has been an overt program of social murder of us since 2009.
This law will help the wealthy and murder the poor.

Weirdly, this was my ex's take on raising kids.
"Ugh, my kid's a trans one. And also mental. I'll just stop."
(and I bet she still watches Eastenders.)

AD was introduced in Canada with a far more robust set of protections than in the UK, and it is already being abused to socially murder the disabled.
Chris Bryant is an amoral tool who will do as his master commands.
The "moral argument" is vacant nonsense while ableism exists.

How about "Eugenecists have to prove their own worth in a 'Hunger Games' style trial overseen by proper professors who will honour the worthy"*
*nobody is watching. Let them murder each other in their adoration of inhumanity.

Childish buffoonery that wouldn't have been entertained even in 1986.
Honestly, I'm embarrassed for the mainstream comics right now.
Maybe Waid and Slott can save it, but it reads like a car-wreck.
Okay.
Daddy will have a nap now.
Zzzzzzzz.

(My only reply to a self-indulgent thread of mind-fuckery)
Superman suffers from this right now.
"Absolute Superman" is a full-pussy rethink of the brand with admirable ideas throughout, and Gunn's movie embraces the 'Jurgens DCU' aesthetic.
The comics are Mary Midnight and Little Miss Graft?

I'd like for Dr Who to go on forever.
I'd *love* it to detach itself from the poisonous horror that is the BBC, a ghoul that - should the human race be lucky enough to have a future - will be reviled by history for the evils it perpetrated.
But fuck me.
Believe in the thing you're doing.

If the writers of Who start thinking that, "this is what we're aiming for. Will that do?" then ... well, that's where we are, isn't it?
Only slightly better than Chinballs, of whom the best you can say is, "never mind, Chris. We got what you were trying for."

I understand that the job of showrunner means inhabiting the contradictory roles of creative inspiration and marketing drone, and failure becomes this gravitational certainty pulling at every effort you make.
And I welcome every further episode of Doctor Who.
But ...

I know I'm w**king into the void with this, but I have to write it down, if only to describe that feeling that's been writhing inside me.
Ncuti deserved better (as did Jodie), but it felt like there was an observable layer of cynicism.
(Maybe "Babies" was where it started. "SPACE babies.")

In fact, when Day of the Doctor swung round I was a recently single, homeless disabled dude and that sh!t gave me hope and love.
The latest round had wonderful moments (and s2 outshone s1) but only "Boom," "73 yards" and "Interstellar Song Contest" felt like episodes committed to their brief.
