There are ppl who talk about queer lives & ideas - whether w. curiosity or hostility - like they're outsiders looking in. & there's ppl who talk about them like they're a jacket they're considering putting on. @yourewrongabout's Sarah Marshall's was always one of the latter...

There is another way forward! At @mediareformUK we've got plans for a devolved, democratised, independent + accountable People's BBC. All that's missing is political will. #a-peoples-bbc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mediareform.org.uk/key-issues/a-p…

Insane own goal from #BBC to pull Lineker from #MatchOfTheDay & make it into the talk of the pubs on a Saturday. Combined w pulling Attenborough's prog from linear TV + discovering the Chair being involved in arranging loans for Johnson, its lack of independence is plain as day

With all this talk about @GaryLineker, the BBC & impartiality I though I’d share some interesting points from @mediareformUK’s BBC and Beyond campaign where they built a “manifesto for a people’s media”

@LindaHurrell @crisortunity And don't they realise that your name, gender, home address etc. etc. are fully identifiable to the state when you're in a car? And not when you're just walking about?

@crisortunity People are right about increasing surveillance of the public.
But do people actually think they will be 'locked in' to a small neighbourhood in some way?

Excellent report by Laura Miller and Anu Priya and highly relevant not only to @jrct_uk but #philantrophy & funders.

@benpope45 @Laurie_Eli @hagenilda @USSbriefs @ucu @ucuatdurham @NotesFrom_Below @UCUAnti_Cas @SarahESeaton Ahhh thanks for this info, I'll come in Feb. I just keep saying I can't meaningfully strike but it would be great if there was a strategy

@Laurie_Eli @hagenilda @USSbriefs @ucu @ucuatdurham @NotesFrom_Below @UCUAnti_Cas @SarahESeaton Great! The annual meeting is definitely the best place for discussion across branches – though of course there are other, more ad hoc discussion groups too. Feel free to DM me if you're interested.
