My new, favourite word for stirring heartless bitches full of sneering hate.
“Baroness” is a pronoun, right…?

I feel like if at any point in my life violent racists took out billboards to say how much they loved me, I’d stop and consider what I was doing.

BBC staff who are required to be politically neutral have been told not to attend LGBT pride marches under new impartiality rules announced on Thursday, i has learned.
One employee in news and current affairs was informed they could be issued with a formal warning or suspended from their job if they attend LGBT events.
David Jordan, the corporation’s director of editorial policy and standards, told a meeting of senior executives on Wednesday that the new rules include a ban on attending “political protests”, such as Black Lives Matter events and LGBT prides.
According to sources, senior staff challenged Mr Jordan to extend the ban to pride events over concerns the BBC could be seen to take a side in the debate around transgender rights.

I’d say What the FUCK, but… 
It isn’t every employee - but saying even one cannot attend is bullshit.
Fuck the BBC.

Doesn’t that violate their human rights? I mean, what if a BBC’er is Black or LGBTQ+? Doesn’t that constitute a prohibition to be themselves?

Yes. There’s a distinction between partisan political activity and issue advocacy.
They’re not saying you can’t attend a March of Dimes Walk or environmental event. They’re saying that race and LGBT people’s rights are suspect.
