If Trump still sues the BBC, notwithstanding their apology, he is in a far less strong position than if the BBC had not apologised.
The apology was tactically a sensible, prudent move by the BBC whether Trump sues or not.

1975, during a Labour government and during a time of considerable trade union power? Looks like Telegraph readers’ rose-tinted nostalgia beats ideology
"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

Goodwinism is an unpopular, extreme view.
10% of white people think you have to be white to be English - but 84% of white people disagree with that. Two-thirds of ethnic minorities think Englishness is a civic, not ethnic identity, though 1/4 of minority groups join 1/10 of the majority group in seeing it as ethnically defined (YouGov)

How we do pensions and retirement income in this country is predicated on a few assumptions, one of which is that old people have minimal housing costs and/or security of tenure. It's not happening anymore, and will get worse.
