I can only imagine Cur Starmer's alcoholism speedrun has rendered it difficult for him to hold on to things and through a series of comedic half-communications, his handlers decided that getting a grip is his favorite imagery.

two of the top ten stories on the BBC when the christmas photos came out were op eds with the title "PM told to get a grip" and "PM's own side put him on notice". both of these expressions i've literally, literally only heard from spad cunts trying to sound like me which is very confusing.

Riley initially posted a screenshot of a January 2019 tweet by the Guardian columnist Owen Jones about an attack on the former British National party leader Nick Griffin, which said: “I think sound life advice is, if you don’t want eggs thrown at you, don’t be a Nazi.” She added “good advice”, with emojis of a red rose and an egg.

Later, Murray tweeted: “Today Jeremy Corbyn went to his local mosque for Visit My Mosque Day, and was attacked by a Brexiteer. Rachel Riley tweets that Corbyn deserves to be violently attacked because he is a Nazi. This woman is as dangerous as she is stupid. Nobody should engage with her. Ever.”

The television presenter Rachel Riley has been awarded £10,000 in damages by a high court judge after suing a former aide to Jeremy Corbyn for libel.

Boris Johnson and his cabinet had spent more than two hours deliberating. But what Johnson told us didn’t answer those questions.

On how serious things are, he said there were still “uncertainties” and “we should keep the data under review”.

On what possible action might come, he said: “We are looking at all kinds of things."

Could it still happen before Christmas? “We will rule nothing out,” he replied.

When the attempted coup in Venezuela was about to go down the BBC sent in a reporter to interview the 'average Venezuelan'. So they go into a loving giant almost mansion of a house with marble everywhere and like 3 grand pianos so we can be told how mean Maduro was. I can't tell if it's a psy-op, or just laziness and/or incompetence. They are the clowns of propaganda.

I wonder who the BBC thinks is going to be left willing to defend in a few years? no one i know under 30 pays the license fee or holds it in particularly high regard.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

A state owned broadcaster is always of use to the state, it'll just become a husk of a propaganda network booming out the latest 'leaks' from CCHQ with an air of officiality.

while the broadcast news is kind of marginal in terms of viewership the website has enormous influence and perceived credibility. nationally and internationally, there's a reason they don't require a tv licence login for it like they do a bunch of other parts of the BBC now.
