"needs reading" so people see our most celebrated, top-flight interviewers are pish

at least paxman just repeated the question over and over instead of giving the impression some kind of dialogue was taking place

If he was imagining it as a dialogue he should have kept on going. "If you are committed to not having a hard border, and no deal means that you would have to add a hard border, does that mean that you are going to cancel Brexit if you can't negotiate a deal?" is the obvious next line. Just start putting words in her mouth and make her explain the difference.

As another of the ukmt's 97 trans people, like on the one hand this is almost quaint in how behind it is compared to the newer state-of-the-art abuse terms for trans people that all the modern bigots are using. But also, actually printing this is incredibly tone-deaf and awful. It's not a word I'm happy with people using, personally.

For those not aware of internet trans chat, the Sunday Times has managed to establish a special reputation for being particularly obsessed with printing very-reasonable-and-decorous screeds against trans people every week, so it's really not got much benefit of the doubt to be playing with here.

I mean, it’s not just the word - the cryptic clue makes it even worse. Whole load of plausibly-deniable bigotry that I’m sure someone was very proud of.

I mean I said "at least paxman just repeated the question" but looking back at it, Marr's literally repeating what he said every time - it's just there's a slight variation so it sounds like a response to what May said, so they're just going around and around and around

I mean for all James OOOOOO'Brain's faults, at least on... ~HARD TALK~ or whatever he did challenge people and nail them to the wall a bit. I think too many of them feel like they're part of Westminster society, and it's rude to do more than look a bit stern, or you might not be invited out for brandies

Cryptic crossword chat

Once in 2006 I got the answer to a cryptic crossword clue ("son in law"), which was both the first and last time No doubt in six months or so when we're all looking for hobbies that can be done by candlelight and don't burn too many precious calories, I shall attempt a second.

Seriously I'm very envious of people who can make head or tail of them.

can't manage a pissup in a brewery Tory Conference chat:

Just saw this:

An ICO spokesperson said:

“We are aware of an incident involving a Conservative Party conference app and we will be making enquiries with the Conservative Party.

“Organisations have a legal duty to keep personal data safe and secure. Under the GDPR they must notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach, if it could pose a risk to people’s rights and freedoms.”

Bet nothing happens though.

Edit: Also just found this very detailed twitter thread on the app and other tory privacy matters:

It's a French conservative outfit of some sort.

Don't know if this is related to the app:

"kickstart a "French renaissance""

I mean, I said as much in a subsequent post

The thing I said isn't actually something that happened to my knowledge, its just more of a hypothetical thing that I could see happening at the time that I'd compare to this

Ofc, the other example seems to be an actual anecdote....

Yeah.

Personally as a trans girl I find shemale to be the most offensive trans slur out there. Seeing the Times using it just hilariously predictable though.

It's the UK establishment in the 1940s, opening it up to people who hadn't been to Eton was practically communism.
