Highlights: A government minister defending the French colonial occupation of Niger with literally 0 push back from the interviewer, someone describing putting those "smoking kills" labels on cigarettes as "excessive government overreach" and "coercive emotional bullying", a transphobic comedy about a literal wolf in sheep's clothing coming out to his parents and wanting to transition to a sheep (whoever wrote that needs an NHS provided trepanning via a gun stfu-terf), "nobody wants to work anymore" shit, more TERF shit, and the one good thing of at one point hearing some conservative MP get practically ripped to shreds by the interviewer when he got asked why the economy was doing so shit

    What good is England if it cannot even be trusted to maintain a simple centuries-long grudge against the French?

      Yeah even my dad, despite all his racism and transphobia can be trusted to do one thing: have a burning hatred for France (to the degree that he even refused to eat food from there for 2 entire years at one point), despite being incredibly anti communist, he's come round to supporting Sankara and now Niger because they screwed the French over

      I have lived in this wannabe purgatory country for long enough that I'm willing to pull out the scalpels and start talking about how the lower circumference of the Anglo brain pan leads to difficulties conceiving of a superstructural concept of sex and gender

      Basically just measurehead but doing it in a woke way

    Yep, the BBC has spent the last 20 years being made more right-wing by successive governments. It is now explicitly anti-left.

        Eh, the BBC was never good, admittedly. But It wasn't until recent decades that BBC staff actually were explicitly instructed by the government to not just provide a platform for shitty reactionaries, but actively spout right-wing garbage and perform actual corporate shilling.
