That's a beaut, can I get a cutting?

Does the talkRADIO (sorry, talkSHITE © essembee) bloke think he... won?

(Not politics per se, I know, but since we were talking about the Beeb etc)

Remember when Brass Eye got Dr. Fox to say "Now that's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact"? Now imagine you're the BBC, and you see fit to publish an extensive piece demonising trans women based on reams of anecdotes, in which the author says "it has been difficult to determine the true scale of the problem because there has been little research on this topic" and a particularly prominent interviewee admits she doesn't have any actual numbers, yet she confidently "knows" this is being done by a "sizeable minority" of trans women. Still, at least they bother to talk to an actual trans person in the [checks notes] 56th paragraph. Fuck's sake. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57853385

There was one DJ used to roll out Judas Priest's "United" on a regular basis, the dreariest attempt to rewrite "We Will Rock You" you could imagine. SO KEEP IT UP!

Cowardly

I haven't read it and I still think it's a bad idea

Decent shout for a couple of hours in the daytime too - bit of a walk by the water, plenty of hipster cafés with obscene cheesecakes (not a euphemism), etc

He reckons Vittoria's is "the standard Italian. They're all good and there's 3 of them in Edinburgh." Also suggests Kezban in Leith - Turkish not Greek, but let's be honest, it's all the same really 💀 - or this place for a bit more of a punt while still falling within the "Italian" brief: https://wineandpeach.com/

My Edinburgh food tips are Bodega, Lucky Yu, and Wings, none of which are Italian or Greek. They're good though. I'll ask the mate who took me there if he knows any good stuff in those categories for you. There's loads of decent scran down in Leith these days too (that's where said mate lives now), we had some outrageously good bao buns and sides at Bundits the other weekend. Bit of a schlep if you're not down that way generally though.

Oh mate
