Oh look - yet more propaganda from the BBC platforming one of the most obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobes of our time, in what will undoubtedly be, a whitewashing of her bigoted billionaire-bolstered campaigning! 😖😖😖 www.thenational.scot/news/2663137...

thenational.scotBBC documentary to chart JK Rowling's rise and 'bitter exchanges' on trans rightsThe BBC has announced a new two-part documentary about JK Rowling which will explore her rise to global fame and the controversies surrounding her views on Scottish independence, feminism, free speech...

@alastaircampbell.bsky.social speaks openly about SENIOR members of the BBC being “so far over in the JK Rowling (read: ‘gender critical’ obsessive transphobe) camp” Let’s just stop and think about this for a moment…

A Scottish Tory peer has spoken out in defence of using the N-word. Nigel Biggar argued in a blogpost that it is 'stupidly unjust' for people to be punished for using the N-word if they did not mean it in a racist way. Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

New Scotland Only Westminster poll, Norstat 27-29 May (vs 27-30 Apr): SNP ~ 34% (+5) RUK ~ 17% (-1) LAB ~ 16% (-3) CON ~ 10% (-4) GRN ~ 10% (+2) LD ~ 9% (-1) No Holyrood figures in this (for a mercy from my perspective of "do I have the time"...)

I am absolutely furious about this. And I've been holding my tongue as I don't like me when I'm I'm furious. Maybe I just need to be furious

Really can’t overstate how bad the EHRC guidance is. Trans people are not allowed to use single-sex facilities that align with their gender but are also not allowed to use facilities that align with their sex if their physical appearance there might cause distress.

Stadium ban for the cup final next week for all Celtic fans. It's a player safety issue now

Sky reporting Hearts players were assaulted by fans. Hearts have left the stadium already. I did think Shankland looks like he was favouring his body as if he'd taken a whack.

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’ This is not public service broadcasting

Peter Geoghegan@petergeoghegan.bsky.social

So far the BBC’s coverage of the Minnesota killing seems really, really off Get Verify to verify what happened - NYT, Bellingcat etc already have - and report that
