I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

The BBC has been banned from using the word Kidnap to describe the Kidnapping of Maduro.
No doubt when Greenland is invaded they will be banned from using the word invasion.

People will say Greenland and Venezuela isn't the same, but it really is.
The USA has no claim to either.
Neither have committed any crime against the USA.
They both have Oil/Minerals the US wants.
They are both illegally threatened with invasion or have been.

Let’s play along…
Say the US did abduct Maduro because Venezuela was supposedly a terrorist narco‑state
Since when does that become a licence for the US to help themselves to the oil?

The Daily Mail: a daily drag on the nation’s sanity, dignity and prosperity. Rocking back and forward in the corner shouting that Brexit was a win and improving on our relationship with the EU is a BeTRaYaL of all the special things it cannot name.

We’re going to do this for years aren’t we? Make tentative suggestions about heading back into the EU because Brexit is an isolating, costly moronathon that the country regrets. But Tories and Reform will keep howling ‘Betrayal!’, making progress and prosperity impossible.

Starmer’s response to Trump attacking Venezuela:
“I always say and believe we should uphold international law.”
Really?
After the unforgivable stance on Israel he’s got no leg to stand on
…and the moral high ground will never be his to claim.

Oh look, a leader with a backbone…
Spanish PM Sánchez has stated that Spain will neither recognize the govt of Nicolás Maduro nor support any U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, warning that such action would violate international law and endanger regional stability.

Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.

The Inheritance Tax set at half after £1m affected just 3000 'farmers', many incredibly wealth landowners.
Now it is half at £2.5m.
While you have to pay full at £0.325m.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.
