Given that the far right hates Black and Brown people, hates women, hates immigrants, hates liberals, leftists and greens, hates students and universities, hates civil servants, hates disabled people, hates gay and trans people and hates Jews and Muslims, what is this country it claims to love?

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.
But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.
Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".
