31 October 1973. 1st episode of the 26-part classic ITV documentary series World at War was broadcast. It was narrated by Laurence Olivier with music by Carl Davies. It cost £900,000 (worth £11 million today).
The City Bridge Foundation is a 750 year-old charity with an endowment of £1.5bn charged with looking after London's bridges. So why has it spent £840m on "social justice" causes like trans sex workers, asks Steven Tucker. https://t.co/yUJ3w0kJfl
As a woman if I turned up dressed like this to teach students with my real breasts hanging out someone would be having a word with me. Although I wouldn't turn up like this at work because I'm not a fucking idiot.
Instead of trying to understand the root causes of women’s psychological distress and treating them accordingly, the NHS is just lopping off their healthy body parts. Future generations will look back on this practice with horror.
We know that a lecturer wearing f*cking huge fetish tits while teaching young women is not actually a good person, because he's wearing f*cking huge fetish tits while teaching young women.
It’s not difficult.
The point is not why Rattley became someone who wants to wear false breasts to work. That is a question for his psychiatrist. The point is why Oxford governing body is allowing it. The fear of thwarting the desires of men who feel a need to flaunt their sexual fetish in public is at the root of society’s paralysis here.
The victims of this odious charade are alienated young people who are being confused by men like this and seeking to harm their own bodies.
If ever we needed courageous leadership, it is now.
Europe has developed a pretty interesting definition of “protecting democracy.”
🇷🇴 Romania annulled a presidential election after Călin Georgescu finished first, then barred him from the rerun.
🇭🇺 Hungary’s new government rewrote the constitution with retroactive limits that block Viktor Orbán from becoming PM again and later approved rules barring long-serving MPs from the next parliamentary election.
🇩🇪 Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified the AfD as extremist, opening the door to much heavier surveillance of the country’s biggest opposition party.
🇫🇷 France upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction, kept restrictions on her political future and ordered her to wear an electronic ankle tag.
🇪🇸 In Spain, more than a dozen people tied to Pedro Sánchez’s political and personal circle have been investigated or prosecuted in separate corruption cases, while Sánchez himself has not been charged.
🇬🇧 Britain postponed local elections during a sweeping reorganization of local government, triggering a petition accusing the government of voter suppression.
🇵🇱 And now Poland has police surrounding its Constitutional Tribunal while the government and opposition accuse each other of trying to seize control of the court.
The real red line in Europe may not be democracy... It may be leaving the club.

I played Ophelia to Brian’s Claudius RSC 1984. The Dirty Duck was our watering hole. I wasn’t there that night, but apparently a creepy guy went too far with a certain actress. Brian picked him up by his lapels, walked over the road & threw him in the river.
