The BBC Scandal Explained: Trump, Farage & the War on Truth
Foreigners declare war on Britain’s institutions and the flagshaggers help them. Obvs. This isn’t about “left wing bias” it’s the right controlling the media.
I have the receipts to prove it👇🏼
This is a deep dive.

And more than this. Extra funding for SEN especially in deprived areas. Protections in the Renting sector. Better links with Europe and young people (for starters). Changes in school curriculum. Safety measure in place to protect kids online. Go and look on the Gov's website. 1 YEAR/3 MONTHS!!

We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.”

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.
But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.
Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.

Farage couldn't find Clacton on a map, he's not interested in it as it doesn't make him money, but it's a perfect feeding ground for his supporters who believe his lies about immigration and while he uses them he leaves them to further hardship and deprivation.
