In fairness to him, it's a bad headline. In the article he says that he strongly disagrees with that view and relationships should 100% be a partnership.

This is one heck of a story.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”
Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.
Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

The comments underneath the article are so depressing. When people try and say what's claimed is incorect and cite The Good Friday Agreement etc, the pushback they get is strong. Rather than trying to engage with the facts, it's just vibes all the way.
Really clear explanation. Saving this for when my Telegraph-reading mum starts going on about it.
Well worth listening to her episode(s) on the Rex Factor podcast.
Bonus Muse reference?
That must be awful. Are the phone company able to help in any way? I do worry about how my mum will cope as she gets older and if she starts getting confused.
Exactly this. Also, although papers were to the left or right, journalists and editors wanted to report facts and do proper investigative journalism.
In fairness, at the moment she's pretty good with that and if she's in the right mood will string them along for a bit before telling them to f off! It's all the online stuff that she finds so hard and things like GB news.
I asked my mum (75) about why she finds it so hard to critically evalaute stuff online, news etc. She said that in the 50s (in the UK at least) you respected and trusted authority. In return 'authority' was reasonably honest. It's really hard for her to process that & be more sceptical.
I laughed at this video for like 2 minutes straight last night and now you get to
Used to be home to the Royal Artillery until it was sold off and turned into luxury flats. Last I heard the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery were now stationed there and could sometimes been seen exercising the horses across the common.
Have just seen this on FB, and made me love Tim Curry even more.

This is an absolutely fascinating read.
It's when you find out she's writing it!
When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
Fulvia: The Woman Who Broke All the Rules in Ancient Rome is currently an Amazon Kindle monthly deal, priced at 99p as opposed to £20 for the newly published hardback. Why don't you give it a try and brace yourself for one of the most dynamic women of the Roman Republic (and Empire, frankly)?

These are both amazing. And if you've not seen the earlier thread.
