I know none of this is a particularly original observation, but I am fed up with all this bad-faith Lawfare being used to stamp down on *actually* vulnerable minorities with far too little critique from the Press for the clear and obvious double standards.

This is something I have never understood bigots telling me that homosexuality is a choice, or gender identity a belief... So what? People choose their religion, and I am happy to respect their choice of faith. Even if sexuality or gender identity *were* beliefs, why would they be any different?

So now the "Christian Rights" lobby have argued that all people should be respected and treated equally for their beliefs, even by those who might not share those beliefs... They are going to apply that lesson and respect the LGBTQ community too, right?

The EHRC are stupid enough to do a blow-by-blow repeat of their previous shenanigans. I say: Yes, please do this - launch a deep investigation. Do it when our fugee-hunting Home Secretary is on TV, while Jeremy Vine asks callers whether black people can be British, while fascists riot in the street.

The Green Party has been referred to the equalities watchdog over its 'Zionism is racism' motion.
"The same group made similar complaints about antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn," says political correspondent

We don't cover the Lib Dems because they only have, er, 72 seats in parliament. People want Ed Davey gone? All over that. We don't cover the Greens despite Zach Polanski trebling membership, increasing Green vote by 22% but some people want him gone? All over that like a rash.

All the breathless "Is it over for Zack Polanski??" stuff this morning feels like wishcasting to me. Two thirds of the membership joined under this leadership, removing him would take a super majority on the party council, and also the result was... fine? He's going nowhere.

I love finding movies I would not have otherwise known existed, so if there is a cult classic on YT, or any other free platform, please feel free to comment with a suggestion!

THE DEATHLINE: Classic British horror in which Donald Pleasance plays a detective investigating the mysterious disappearance of an MP on the London Underground. Brilliant against-type cameo from Christopher Lee.

ANTS! A 1970s disaster movie about a swarm of killer ants invading a hotel. Dick Van Dyke's son, from Diagnosis Murder gets to play somebody other than a veteran cop.

The DISAPPEARANCE: A 2002 movie about a family on a road trip across Nevada, who go to investigate an abandoned town on their way past, and get trapped by a supernatural force.

NOMADS: A 1980s horror in which Pierce Brosnan is a French anthropologist who dies in mysterious circumstances. His doctor begins to see visions of Brosnan's last few days, in which he investigated 'urban nomads' in LA.

Billie Jean Sweeney @billiejsweeney.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I thought it would be worth sharing some of the best films that are available to watch for free (give or take some adverts) on You Tube. BAFFLED: A 1970s TV pilot in which Leonard Nimoy is a race driver who has premonitions of a murder.

It's almost like they aren't particularly worried if elections are stolen or not, and only who wins. Funny that. Of course, they are more than welcome to prove me wrong and demand Trump is locked up...

T E Hodden @tomhodden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Gee, I wonder why the 'Save The Steal' crowd are being so quiet given: Trump has had meetings with a women he pardoned for attempting to throw an election. Trump is denying outside election observers to watch the mid-terms. Trump is sending *his own* observers instead.

Quite unusual for the BBC to be publishing a piece on the release of an indie game that has garnered little interest & wasn’t developed in the UK, but then you see it’s a game by Jonathan Blow and you remember he’s pro-MAGA, anti-diversity and generally very right-wing, so it makes a bit more sense

This is a very good point. It is *also* worth considering that how somebody feels able to present themselves on the internet, in these days of 'hostile environment' politics, and how they may present in real life, may not be the same. It is a sad thing to *have* to consider though.

I am sure smugglers were happy for travellers to believe they saw something supernatural rather than something criminal.

Add to that, smugglers usually worked by dragging up caskets and barrels dropped on Kent’s (then) marshy coast, so there are additional clanking chains at play too.
