I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

When you're living on a Home Office budget of just £49.18 a week, it is hard to get all the food you need to stay healthy. That's why Hope partners with St. Vincent de Paul to provide a free weekly food parcel for all our clients -- because we believe that no one should ever go hungry.

Hope Projects exists to fight asylum destitution, but what is it and why does it even happen?
Added to the long list of things I wish I'd thought of
Actually flawless.
I wonder if Farage is starting to have fever dreams where the words 'count binface' and 'boaty mcboatface' blend into one.
Don't want to worry anyone, but there's something that the Wolves want you to know...

Reform lose Gorton and Wolves beat the Villa. Today had been a good day.
Pretty good from @refugeeaction.bsky.social Worth a share
