You know brick fire station training towers with all the stairs in. Until incredibly recently I thought these were look out towers so fire people could see where the fire was by getting up high and looking for the smoke.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

hey bbc news you forgot to mention his views on race, why did you forget to mention his views on race, were they not controversial enough for you?
BBC News screenshot;

Kirk was a strong supporter of gun rights, vehemently opposed abortion, was critical of transgender rights and promoted false claims about Covid-19. He wasn't shy when it came to expressing his views - and his detractors also didn't hold back.

Many aspects of the 'terrorism' ban on Palestine Action are ludicrous. Nevertheless, terrorism powers are sweeping and we feel obliged to point out that, no matter what a bizzie told a Liverpool councillor, putting up a poster in support of the group in your window carries a high risk of arrest

Extract from Financial Times profile of Peter Mandelson: 


We are on our way north, on a high-speed Avanti train, when I ask Mandelson about his relationship with Epstein. “I regret ever meeting him or being introduced to him by his partner Ghislaine Maxwell,” he says. “I regret even more the hurt he caused to many young women.” An icy chill descends in Carriage J. “I’m not going to go into this. It’s an FT obsession and frankly you can all fuck off. OK?”
