It really is transparent that after years of calling Corbynism "a hate movement" and anti-genocide-in-Gaza protests "violent mobs", the British press has absolutely no idea to respond to actual racist pogroms, especially given they inspired them for years with anti-migrant hate.

The position of the gender-critical community appears to that a woman who has abnormal levels of testosterone should be considered male for legal and practical purposes, which has some fascinating implications that I don't think they've thought through.
Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

Labour already peddling a narrative that this victory is down to a changed Labour party. The reality of course is Keir Starmer was holding the pass the parcel at the right time, when the Tories eventually imploded. So they’ve won by default, on a lower share of the vote than 2017

If you meet a surgeon at a party don't immediately start pitching to them. They are sick of hearing ideas for surgeries, and even if you give them a good one they will just steal it without crediting you

At a Hampshire school, vulnerable school pupils were used as guinea pigs and forced to inject themselves with blood taken in secret trials. They were unwittingly infected with HIV and Hepatitis

i am aging precipitously i fear… losing my ironic detachment, losing my edge…. crossword puzzles elicit real emotion from me… saw a greeting card that said “the first five days after sunday are the hardest” and thought it was pretty good
