I'm curious that all these charities under investigation have religious affiliations, and none has a website. bit.ly/4jXllah

More AI dishonesty. Elon Musk's AI, Grok, caught lying (please don't call it hallucination). From current Private Eye.

Well that was crafty of Starmer. Politicians have far less control over events than they lead us to believe.

Why does Labour persistently ignore solid data from psephologists? It has been consistently clear for years that a majority of Labour voters support rejoining the EU. Yet Starmer remains terrified of Reform.

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

I don't suppose for a moment that I have any followers who voted for Brexit, but if you did then you enabled this wrecking crew. These people are evil. They are stupid as well but primarily evil.

I hope this standard includes the ability to construct an intelligible sentence that doesn't contain the word "like". Not many native English speakers seem to be able to do this.

Good grief. I mean... how can you possibly justify this, even with the usual smarmy Pharma Industry bullsh*t about 'our products are priced for innovation'? Please. [Info: Revlimid, which has been approved as a drug for 20 yrs, is a chemical 'relative' of Thalidomide.]

Glad to be invited to the state ceremony for VE Day. I think it’s vital that we mark the defeat of fascism in Europe and commit ourselves to the defence of the open society. But it was a bit much to be lectured on freedom by the state church in a speech that told us all that Jesus is the only way!

Is it really a good use of the BBC's resources to have two very senior journalists stationed at the Vatican? Will we have a report every evening on what has not happened? #conclave

Starmer doesn't need to abandon winter fuel payment. Just tweak the threshold a bit. About 30% of UK pensioner families had a gross income of more than £30,000 in 2022-23. [Data from DWP, graph made by ChatGPT4.]

I applaud the BBC's recent commitment to fact checking, but it doesn't compensate for its constant platforming of Farage, over many years. We are seeing the fruits of that today.
