In a world of chaotic uncertainty and binary polarisation, at least there’s one thing we can all agree on. Right?

I would like my news without the fortification of fruitloops like Rupert Lowe.

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social

Crazy Rupert Lowe has a new angle. Ban folic acid in flour. Follows a mandate that all non-wholemeal wheat flour must be fortified with synthetic folic acid (vitamin B9) by the end of December 2026 to prevent upward of 200 neural tube birth defects including spina bifida and anencephaly each year

Is this the biggest proof that time travel does not eventually get invented by humanity?

Think more "we" Imagine the positive transformation of civilisation if humanity would be/get better at thinking in terms of "we" without losing the freedom to be "me"!

As we hit October, here are observations from this summer: 🐜No flying any day 🪰 No fruit flies hanging around the food bin 🕷️ No scary looking (but very passive) garden spiders hanging about 🪰 Virtually no mosquitoes 🐝 Very few wasps (I know that’s a bee, they don’t have a wasp one) #insects

Both are illogical. They’re based on confirmation bias, a hysterical media, and unmoderated social media. Both draw all the wrong conclusions from all the wrong data and feed an ugly envy that has been brewing behind closed doors for decades. Oh, and racism.

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

<Planned refugee accommodation housing 1,200 asylum seekers> Piddington: WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE WOMEN & GIRLS! <Planned arrival of up to 5,000 balaclava wearing wife beaters and nonces of the Tommy Army> Piddington: Come on in, lads- have a drink on us #Piddington #Bigots

All day this. Then a bit more.

I’m happy for the BBC Politics team to be disbanded/sacked The news team needs a deep review They should be impartial, and report facts not opinions , or both-sides an item, and investigate where needed We currently have a news team of opinion writers , not journalists A huge shakeup is needed

I have legitimate concerns that a woman should not be manhandled, hit with a stick or have her hair pulled at an event in the UK. Can I get a slot on BBC news to express these please? Or should I don a balaclava and shut down a major transit hub instead?

I think we can now all agree that Farage and Reform and the Dover thugs and Jenrick and Kruger and Tice and Pochin and Anderson and Dorries are all a bunch of complete and utter filthy hateful racist arseholes, and that literally anyone now supporting or voting for them is exactly the same too… 😒🤮
