I think this article (from a black man and a father to a child with similar disabilities) is a good take on the incident.

An old reminiscence from Harry Pearson of When Saturday Comes fame. "My dad went to see 10cc at the Madison in Middlesbrough. The compère came on and said 'Ladies and gents, great turn tonight, band from Manchester; please welcome Eye-Ock'”.
This is what Valentine's Day was made for.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

Excellent thred.
It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize
Iconic.
You’re very welcome and thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas xxx
An elderly white couple sat at the table next to us waiting for their food. The waiter comes out with their plates - "A pair of gammons?" Reader, I snickered...

Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...
Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975
It's incredible the things the state broadcaster takes responsibility for & what it does not. Months of Israeli propaganda, nothing. One episode that told the truth about Trump's involvement in J6th&heads must roll. Suggests both foreign involvement & a politicised broadcaster.
