I think, as an American who studied the speech to assess whether it constituted unlawful incitement, the BBC edit was poor journalistic form, but it did not convey something substantively different than reality. My thing? The apology doesn’t convey to me that the BBC gets Trump isn’t a fair broker.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

The first two reasons feel very reasonable to explore. The third less so but possible. A real pity that the way this was announced was another indication that the PM and his 'advisors' don't have much of a clue.
This whole thing has been a case study in how not to do it. But still, I'm sure this incredibly complex project will definitely work.

Why won't people say this in the UK rather than just giving him an unchallenged platform?
This is the clip the BBC did not think worth showing on the 6 o’clock news. Disgraceful.

We are in almost exactly same place we were then. The same rhetoric, the same arguments, the same ideas - up to and including racist deportation programmes. Rivers of Blood is not some dark blood-dimmer artefact of a previous time. It is the template anti-immigrant politicians are using today.

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns.

They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings.

That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

How is this even possible? We have a desperate shortage of GPs, patients are waiting weeks for a GP appointment yet fully qualified GPs can’t get work. Surely this needs fixing urgently

Absolutely counter-productive. As well as being soulless, nasty, stupid. Reform UK continues to be the backseat driver of the UK.
