I may be cynical but that is why Trump and his party are against the BBC. We should be proud and supportive of our BBC
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

11. Regaining the freedom we’ve lost is much harder and less likely than defending the freedom we already possess. We must do all we can to stop governments with autocratic tendencies from winning elections and reasserting the old order. Lose it once, and it might be gone forever.

This is nothing to do with Anti-semitism as it is a consequence of the violence that happened in Amsterdam. The police are correct to stop these visiting supporters based on the violent behaviour that occurred there. I want my police to be safe.
Why is the PM involving himself in a local policing issue?
It’s purely a policing issue designed to protect British residents from well-known hooligans who have been banned elsewhere in Europe.
This is wild. The PM is putting Israeli hooligans before Brits’ safety and the law.

Both Farage and the Conservatives delivered Brexit and they should never govern us again.
Strong 'bald men squabbling over comb' vibes to this attack line. Yes, Nigel Farage drove the economy into a cul de sac with Brexit. But the dude who refused to reverse it out is Keir Starmer.

I agree with Niall’s first point but this is a consequence of Farage pushing to get us out of the EU and is a direct consequence of Brexit.
1. This does not target the UK
2. This is clear evidence of being inside a customs union rather than floating alone
3. It was inevitable that Trump's actions at the head of such a large economy would result in dumping elsewhere.. Europe has to be able to take action to counter that.
