The BBC and the NHS are like family members. WE are allowed to say they are flawed but if YOU attack them we will defend with all we’ve got.
Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

The #BBC behaved abysmally. They are mostly incompetant but with a festering core of bias.
Their recent global affairs coverage has been a new, deep, low point.
I can remember a BBC with skill, verve, dash, brio and a strong alliegance to truthful, accurate, fair reporting.
Yes, I'm that old!
