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.

Weirdly profound bus to pull up at a hospital treating paranoid delusion.
Hope that - if somebody called Barry saw it - he doesn't have a bad reaction.

So, *one* scientist has "significant concerns"* that detransition is way higher because 20-30% stop hormones.
Even though the reasons for stopping are almost always financial or social, rather than medical or personal.
Any chance she's a TERFy woman?
*that's scientist for, "I just reckon,"

Given that it is The Guardian, we all know that it's (c) and that those dusty TERFs cackled over a few bottles of Bolly, claiming victory over the dirty trans while they wet their moustaches with champagne and prepare to be stopped at every bathroom door.
I didn't expect fascists to be so thick.

Instead of hiding behind the right-wing reassurances of "we'll be leaving the ECHR soon," you should be fighting to retain that document as the UK wrote almost all of it.
"Lied to." FFS.
Look at yourselves.
Just reread that article and look in a mirror.
Fuck me.

Self ID is in operation in Eire, with no diminishing of anybody else's rights, but I guess Eire has fewer clocky old trouts with victim complexes than the UK does.
Look, have a shave, and *fight* steps toward fascism rather than being lapdogs to people who have been manipulating you.

Covering your arses with, "she spoke in a personal capacity," eh?
Of course you're not going to say, "she lied," are you? Because this is what The Guardian editorial wanted.
But she *did* lie because the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees these rights, as they do in Eire.

"If you ask Israel to stop doing genocide you're going to hurt their feelings, so I - as a grown-up liberal - have come up with the phrase 'Jenny Bom-Boms.'
"As in, 'oh, please, Mr Israel. Could you pull back a little on the Jenny Bom-Boms, there's a sweetie?'
"You're welcome." -

"Many people believe that black is slimming. Fewer believe it once they've seen your outfit.
"Who was it that told you that you could pull off wearing a cape?
"How do you plan on getting a wife, breathing like that?"

Even Darth Vader would have a word with her about parenting.
