My father flew in Lancasters in the second world war. He’s the last man in this picture drawn by my uncle. These men had more courage than I can imagine. They fought a war against fascism and against genocide. WE MUST NOT FORGET.

Basically, public service broadcasting (despite it's obvious imperfections) is what's under threat:

The people who always hated public broadcasting finally smell blood - and the BBC seems too tired and compromised to fight back.

bbc bias:
(a must read)
russincheshire.bsky.social Russ Jones @russincheshire.bsky.social · 1d
The famously left-wing bias of the BBC.

(From The Decade In Tory)
Meanwhile the print media could hardly be expected to hold the Tories to account, given their almost constant irrumating support for Conservatives. Of Britain’s 15 main national newspapers, only one backed the Labour Party. The rest vocally supported the Tories or their Lib Dem partners in the coalition. Thankfully, we could rely on the BBC to balance things out by flexing its renowned leftie muscles. The corporation’s controller of global news output, Craig Oliver, joined the Downing Street operation as David Cameron’s director of communications. Andrew Neil, editor of the right-wing Spectator magazine, fronted both of the BBC’s two leading political discussion programmes, This Week and Daily Politics. The editor of these programmes, Robbie Gibb, was brother of Conservative MP Nick Gibb, and later became director of communications at Theresa May’s Downing Street. Sure, Nick Robinson, the BBC’s chief political correspondent, had been national president of the Young Conservatives and then president of the Oxford University Conservative Association,but those sympathies were balanced out by his deputy, James Landale, an old-Etonian close contemporary of David Cameron who was also offered – and declined – the Tory communications job. Meanwhile, a report by the University of Cardiff found from 2007 to 2012 (both in and out of office), Conservative politicians received 50 per cent more airtime on BBC News at Six than Labour politicians did. So if the tsunami of unmitigated failure that started in 2010 has been a revelation to you, nobody should be especially surprised.

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.
