'Identify as' is a synonym for 'am not'.

@basilthegreat A perfect demonstration of circular reasoning: "The English flag is racist" "Why?" "Because the people using it are racists" "Why do you think they're racists?" "Because they fly the English flag" "What's wrong with that?" "The English flag is racist".

Michael Caine "I voted for Brexit... I'd rather be a poor master than a rich servant... You get lost, and then you find your way, and it will be alright." This Brexiteer lived in LA, has never been a poor anything, and there are zero consequences for his actions on him.

IT'S CANCELLED, AND THEY KNOW IT! The much maligned former Doctor Who script writer Gareth Roberts comments on efforts by the "triumvirate love-in" of Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat — and some hack called Pete McTighe — who have clearly colluded to save the former's face. Just as they lied about Christmas, they're now spreading another identically scripted lie to fans. Namely, Doctor Who isn't cancelled and, therefore, RTD didn't destroy Doctor Who by turning it into his own private Idaho for indoctrinating ID politics into kids who, after three... ...just switched off their television sets and went off and did something far less boring instead! Gareth also dispenses 20 common sense tips to put Doctor Who back on track that any future producer — after a rest of at least a decade, Roberts insists — would do well to consider...

The BBC has binned its planned Doctor Who Christmas special and put the show 'out to tender'. This is a face-saving TV industry term for saying you've kicked an ailing show into the longest of grass, but don't want to enrage its most rabid fans. Good luck with that, chaps. Essentially it translates as 'Somebody please, please take this nightmare off our hands'. It’s like one of those Facebook ads you see for a dog that needs rehousing because it barks all night, gnaws on toddlers, and has no control of its bowels, but is a total sweetie, honestly. If by some bizarre quirk of circumstance I found myself the unwilling owner of the tender, I'd put Doctor Who on ice for at least a decade. Much has been written in the past few days about what happened to poor old Doctor Who, how the thing was revived in glory and then retoxified in shame. As a former writer on Doctor Who, I was actually in the room when some of the mistakes were made. I offer the following suggestions – in a reflective but constructive spirit – for anybody barmy enough to take the thing on. (And yes, I broke many of these 'rules' myself, but I know better now.) ✍️ Gareth Roberts Article | spectator.com/article/twenty…

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Why have so many British people become so enamoured of state scrutiny that they think privacy is only of interest to wrongdoers? "If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear" they recite; but you're allowed to hide things. And no, I don't mean nasty things like porn.

@sciantificnew We've had the police turning up at people's doors because they said mammals can't change sex. You are being very simplistic and frankly naive in saying that if something gets you in bother with the law then it must mean you shouldn't have said it.

If banning social media for U16s means linking a profile to an ID to verify age then I think that's all the more reason to do it. If you are worried about legal repercussions of what you are saying on SM then that's a pretty good hint that you probably shouldn't be saying it.

No, the intention is clearly forcing us all to use digital id to sign into social media. Shocked you can't perceive that, tbh.
Raheem J. Kassam@RaheemKassam

8 in 10 Britons polled want action to shield kids from creepy shit online. That’s the INTENTION. The govt response is obviously slop. But don’t underestimate the strength of public feeling for a real solution here. And don’t be out of touch like this ⬇️

Excellent own goal by Starmer. 1. Kids are more likely to vote Labour 2. Give 16/17 year olds the vote 3. Immediately alienate the entire cohort ensuring that you've just created half a million opposition votes out of nothing.

@BradfemlyWalsh I agree kids shouldn't be on social media. I don't know what the solution is. It isn't the case that unless I can think of a good solution then the government is right to implement a bad one. Also YouTube isn't social media.

I notice that nobody wants to engage with this. You all want to wail about how we'll be thrown into some dystopian hellscape by Michaelmas if nippers can't go on Tiktok but you have nowt to say about how to actually solve the problem when many parents simply won't do their job.
Shambo of Luxembourg@BradfemlyWalsh

Whatever you think about banning kids off social media, the point remains that kids should not be on social media. Of course parents should do their jobs properly but you can't just do nothing waiting for miracles to happen. So what should we do about it based on reality?

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

It has been ten years since our friend and colleague Jo Cox was murdered by a far-right terrorist. She was a dedicated mother, a fierce campaigner and a deeply committed Member of Parliament. Her conviction that we have more in common than that which divides us lives on beyond her death. We all wish Jo was still here with us today, and we will continue to honour her legacy by standing by her message of hope and unity in the face of hatred and division.
