Such an excellent and informative article. Gives much food for thought and explains the weird silence from Boden and Harris.
A must read.

Trump's threat to sue is not about legitimate grievance and recompense; it is about power and extortion. If the BBC fights, they will lose access to him. If that's so, then they should pay that price.
The alternative is to - in effect - appoint Trump as editor-in-chief.
Those are the stakes.

The BBC should tell Trump to get stuffed and that they'll see him in court.
Trump said every word he was broadcast saying - and even if he didn't say them all together, the sentiments they expressed were consistent with the rest of his actions that day.

Farage is a genuinely repulsive human
The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.
So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Trump called Biden “sleepy,” because Trump is an old man who struggles to stay awake.
Trump called Hillary “crooked,” because Trump is incredibly crooked.
Trump called Ted Cruz “lyin’” because Trump is a serial liar.
We’re a decade into this. How do people still not get it?

Worked for BBC as a rural reporter & was horrified to see our BBC pandering to RW & slowly losing its precious neutrality.

The irony being that Mr Blobby’s career was boosted more by the BBC than any other platform. They promoted his showbiz approach to politics and in doing so, its current Board probably knowingly sabotaged it from the inside.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2
