It’s not the job of the BBC to edit anti-fascist comments www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... The BBC edited out anti-Trump commentary at the BAFTAs. When art is not allowed free expression, evil walks in the door. What were they doing?

Here I am after the Hastings High School parkrun last Saturday.
