Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate trans people, acknowledge the challenges they face, and reflect on how we as a society can work together to improve trans people’s lives.

The clever thing about going for stuff like the cycle for work scheme is it’s really noticeable, affects people with lots of media access and platforms, annoys green groups, and raises almost no revenue at the same time. Real win/win/win there.

It’s entirely coincidental that Trump threatened the BBC with a billion dollar defamation suit the same weak that lots of terrible stories relating to Trump and Epstein could be written.

I knew Gay Hitler was a real person but I thought he lived in the 1800s. I did not realize he lived to see both the modern meaning of "gay" and the more famous Hitler.
Lots of those Hitlers stretch back to the early 1800s. Also, one of those Hitlers gave us an incredible rap name www.circlevilleherald.com/news/hitlers...

For all its faults, the BBC isn’t just a broadcaster — it’s part of our national culture and a pillar of our resilience in the information wars. Those who seek its destruction do our enemies’ work. We’d lose it at our collective peril. #BBC
