Yeah. Let him go ahead with his lawsuit. I look forward to hearing what would come out of it!
I mean, what kind of legal action would this be exactly? Defamation? I would truly love to see it. 'They made it look like I instigated a coup during my very well recorded coup attempt.'
The US president has sent a letter to the corporation threatening legal action.

Which adults? All we have is obsessed toddlers shouting out ‘I can be nastier to immigrants than you’ in the loudest voices they can find. If you want to be considered the adults in the room, you need to behave like adults.
He's right. Just because I might prefer Zacks populist policies to Nigels doesn't make any of it more achievable.
The current government have inherited an absolute mess snd it is going to take adults a long time to sort it out.

The Trump Administration is now pushing Brits to watch GB News instead of the BBC. The Far Right are trying to seize this moment of chaos in British media.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

If you don't want to be accused of inciting an insurrection, it's probably a good idea not to incite an insurrection.
Good bit of Insurrection advice right there

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.

But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.

Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

If the BBC had an iota of backbone they would tell Trump to fuck the fuck off. They haven't, so they won't.

Can this sort of info be displayed widely - maybe projected on major buildings? C'mon @ledbydonkeys.org you know what to do...
Average health insurance for a couple in America is now $900 per month... about £700uk...this is what Farage wants.

I don't always agree with James, but if you've not listened to the whole 17.42 clip I urge you to do s as he's 100% spot on.

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

As Scots that the BBC is inherently bias towards the SNP & the Indy movement in general. We have suffered from their pro Westminster Propaganda for years. Back in 2013, A year before our IndyRef Whitehall mobilised the Beeb to rally against us with lies, Pure unadulterated lies.
Did heads roll? No.
