Asked if Ratcliffe was right to apologise for his racist statement about Britain having been “colonised” by immigrants, Farage replies,
'It’s probably in the dictionary definition correct, but perhaps people aren't quite ready for it’

No. It’s not, Nigel. It’s just racist. And wrong. Much like you.

Cuts to the BBC like to any public service do nothing but damage Britain. And the truth is there are no amount of cuts (even 100%) that would appease the BBC critics.

BBC to make hundreds of millions of pounds of cuts

BBC to make hundreds of millions of pounds of cuts
The outgoing director general told staff about the savings during an internal call on Thursday.

As I said the other day I think the team event routines should gave to be different. Indeed it's clearly only a filler medal event to sell more tickets - might be more interesting if replaced by a duos event where two have to compete both as a pair and individually. #WinterOlympics

As ever only @bylinesnetwork.co.uk following the actual story. Whilst the main media concentrates on Mandelson and Andrew the real political story is the uncomfortable truth we always knew - Brexit and the rise of the right didn't come from within Britain but from those seeking to weaken the UK.
A decade on, Brexit still damages the UK’s economy, security and standing. The Epstein files sharpen an uncomfortable truth: democracy wasn’t subverted by “the people”, but by those who fear democratic limits most.

The will of the rich and powerful: Brexit and the Epstein files
The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

Council Tax has become increasingly regressive.

It now takes nearly 5% of income from the poorest families but barely 1% from the richest. For many, it's become a grinding monthly obligation to rival the Poll Tax.

Knew the BBC would jinx it promoting it to BBC1. It was a very slim chance as it was. #WinterOlympics #BBCOlympics #MilanoCortina2026

Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business ‘success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these ‘self made tycoons’)

Oh do fuck off. All these big business owners are pushing the right wing narrative, as they continue to avoid taxes and mistreat staff.

I'm sick of them all.

Disgusting individual - his actions at Man Utd have revealed his true colours.

One thing quite evident at the #WinterOlympics is if we can't do we judge!

A shame they can't trim the main curling comp down to be as pacey as the mixed doubles. 3 hours a match does it no favours. #WinterOlympics

Exactly this. Every UK government in my lifetime has paid lip service to the arts while, in every tory case at least, slashing funding to the bone. They want our kudos, but they don't want us to be able to eat.

If there is one thing madder than lying on a sledge and throwing yourself down a mile of ice it's lying on someone else doing it. #WinterOlympics

The Chris Hughes packages on Bobsleigh and Skeleton on the #BBCOlympics coverage have been superb.

For 70 years the cameras were unseen and unheard in the #WinterOlympucs coverage. Then drones came along.

The shots aren't even worth them - watching from behind the athletes generally isn't better.

The Bannon/Farage/Johnson plot to topple May looks pretty damning by November 2018, but starts that summer when Johnson resigns. 15 July Bannon goes on Farage’s LBC show to lambast May. Epstein texts: “Good work on LBC”. Next day he tells Epstein he’s in “London with Boris”
