I don’t know if buses are still carrying this advert, but I came across it lately on an old leaflet from 2008 which was in my “to read” pile. I have finally read it! The leaflet was issued by Arab World Ministries whose noble mission is “Building Christ’s Church among Arab peoples.”
Before discussing the best [...]

Anna Raccoon has revealed that Stonewall are flapping their petticoats again because the twenty TV programmes they monitored were not ‘gay’ enough for them. Or at least, they didn’t show homosexuality in exactly the way they wanted.
The shows they watched included the popular soaps and talent shows, but they also hoped to find “positive portrayals” [...]

How much lower can this country sink? Channel 4 is set to air an advert for fakecharity Marie Stopes tonight during Davina McCall’s gameshow The Million Pound Drop Live.
The organisation, which carried out 65,000 abortions last year, has circumvented a ban on the commercials because it is a charity and does not make a profit [...]

Further to my previous post about Stonewall and this comment thread on The Guardian’s website, two of my comments were deleted for mentioning the fact that Stonewall is meant to be a charity, yet derives little of its funds from personal donations.
My inital comment on the subject was in reply to someone called Bovved, who [...]

Despite the word Climategate being brand new, it already surpasses the term global warming on Google. People noticed that Google’s auto-suggestion wasn’t suggestive at all when it came to the term Climategate. Google.com has now rectified (or ceased censoring) this, but at the time of writing (1.30am), Google.co.uk still doesn’t want to make it easy [...]

This is one of the questions posed on the Daily Mail-o-matic headline generator. At the click of a mouse, it also invented these Mail headlines. Some of them are frighteningly appropriate…
COULD YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL SCROUNGE OFF YOUR PETS?
HAS DUMBING-DOWN INFECTED THE MIDDLE CLASS WITH AIDS?
WILL BINGE DRINKING MOLEST THE MEMORY OF DIANA?
ARE THE GERMANS RIPPING [...]

I have now seen last week’s Question Time. (I couldn’t watch it live as I refuse to pay the licence fee.)
The BBC is denying that Nick Griffin’s appearance was intended to boost viewing figures, but clearly, this was the Nick Griffin Show. The Question Time format had been changed to allow one member of the [...]

The Press Complaints Commission has received many thousands of complaints about Jan Moir’s article about Stephen Gately in last week’s Daily Mail. I have just emailed them in support of free speech. You can contact them here.
My email read…
Good afternoon,
I wish to support the free speech of Jan Moir and the freedom of the press. [...]

As somebody who often comments on homosexual matters, I thought you would like to hear my opinions about Jan Moir’s “vile and disgusting” article in yesterday’s Daily Mail. I believe that the original article was amended, but I didn’t see it, so I’ll go by the current version.
Basically, Jan Moir cannot believe that the late [...]

While looking at the stats for this blog, I noticed a few people had clicked from John Rentoul’s blog. Who? Apparently he is chief political commentator for The Independent on Sunday. As it turns out, he was quoting from my post Has Osama Bin Laden been dead for over seven years to use as an [...]
