@GauciReports @tempestvista Thought this too. Nuts. But it was so telegraphed in the plot. Could see it coming minutes before.

🚨BBC PROPAGANDA ALERT: FOI REQUESTS ARE NOW "FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISM"
In this episode of The Capture, a guy who dares file Freedom of Information requests to uncover Govt lies on undocumented migrant stats gets branded extremist/terror linked.
Basically the BBC are saying if you use legal transparency tools to question official migration numbers you’re deemed a far-right extremist….🤔
You literally couldn’t make this up, unless you’re the BBC of course!
Defund The BBC

Because they are run by a bunch of idiots.
It's actually narcissism, people want others to think good of them so they help the 'little' people so they can seem virtuous.

I'm still gobsmacked at how a FIRE SERVICE got to this point.

If you like Claude Code or Codex, you should seriously consider running Agents locally as well! The latest small models (like Qwen 3.5) made this a real before/after moment - and the gap keeps closing. Local coding agents are faster, with more reliable tool calling capabilities, still private, and cost $0 in API bills.
We made it super easy for you to run a local agent with the 𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 Hugging Face CLI extension - a one-liner that uses 𝚕𝚕𝚖𝚏𝚒𝚝 to detect your hardware and pick the best model and quant, spins up a 𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚊.𝚌𝚙𝚙 server, and launches Pi (the agent behind OpenClaw 🦞).
One command to find what runs on your hardware and go straight to a working local coding agent!
You should give it a try! 👇

@AdamsArtist Gave up my membership a while back. Tate modern has been a lot of nonsense for years now! I prefer the National.

It may have slipped past you (as it was announced shortly before Xmas) that Maria Balshaw has stepped down as director of the Tate. Her tenure has been a miserable experience for all those who value art over quotas. When her replacement is announced (appointed by the PM) it will be more of the same. No reverse gear, no apologies.
You'll see more along the lines of the predictions in my book (publ. 2019). Here are the top ones:
1. Collection and exhibition of art will be increasingly driven by the imperative to promote female/minority artists regardless of aesthetic or formal qualities.
4. Space devoted to historical (pre-Modern) art in Tate Britain will be steadily reduced. Presentations of historical art will increasingly disregard art-historical standards.
5. Interpretative texts will reduce discussion of stylistic aspects and will highlight social dimensions of art.
6. The Turner Prize will become an award driven by political ideology.
7. The Tate will be rebranded as a museum of world art. Western and British art will be marginalised in terms of space, funding, exhibitions and acquisitions.
Tate is contravening its founding acts and making it a laughing stock, all the time burning British people's money. And no one will stop the activist curators.

@beverleyturner @RonDeSantis Shop doesn’t care. Security guards don’t care. And if I said anything I’d be stabbed.

@RonDeSantis There is a malaise that has set in. Nobody cares.

And yet they get away with it!

Having a debate about Islam must not become taboo.
In a free society, citizens must be free to criticise any religion. Parliament voted to scrap our blasphemy laws back in 2002.
While the Communities Secretary says the social definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — will not stifle free speech, it is clear that it will.
It is increasingly clear that, in the wake of the Gorton and Denton by-election result, the Government is willing to sell out our right to free speech to pacify some Muslim voters in traditionally safe Labour seats it now looks set to lose.
The decision to ditch the word “Islamophobia” from the definition and replace it with “anti-Muslim hostility” is a weak attempt to address free speech concerns. In reality, it has made the definition even broader and therefore an even greater threat to free speech. It is disingenuous.
While the definition is non-statutory, we all know that public bodies — schools, universities, the NHS and local authorities — as well as many businesses, will adopt it zealously.
We will see people sacked, books removed from shelves, contracts cancelled, and statues and paintings taken down.
This is a Muslim blasphemy law via the back door.
