The BBC’s constant tendency to play down or ignore the true nature of the far right is a major contributor to its growth

BBC report sanitises the overt racism: It notes that organisers warned marchers not to talk to journalists, then gives the "anti-immigration group"'s own sanitised description of itself. It does not report they chanted "England for the white man" in the streets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How come Americans keep accidentally using Scottish slang for things. Shit like "Joby Aviation" and this right wing idiot shortening their name to "DEID"

The sharpest executives in the industry are noticing this only 2 years after ordinary workers. This is why they get paid the big bucks.

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

Earlier this year, E3G released a big report with the Department of War Studies at Kings College which showed that our dependence on gas is a major national security risk. Cutting heat pumps to fund defence is like not paying for a flu jab so you can buy lemsip. It makes no sense.

well done lads, it's 2026 & you've managed to allow the fucking Sun to position itself as slightly less hostile to people who support LGBT+ rights than The Big Supposedly Gay Dancing Show

Favorite photos I’ve saved while trawling through old archives recently. All from Aberdeenshire + Aberdeen Scotland.
