They are steadily recreating the insider/outsider divide of continental labour markets that has been one of their worst structural features and massively inhibited young people for decades. Spain eventually fixed theirs in the EZ debt crisis reforms and this happened

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

I had asked ChatGPT about this, and it confirmed what George Peretz is now saying. As anyone can have access to this AI tool it seems the financial threat to the BBC has been blown up out of all proportion.
Even in the US Trump has either lost or withdrawn nearly all defamation lawsuits.

A question not asked by Joshua, but which seems quite important, is whether any judgment by a Florida court (assuming as Joshua does that it would assert jurisdiction) would be enforceable here. Any views?
Will President Trump sue the BBC for $1 billion? As the US president no doubt intended, it’s a figure that appears in almost every front-page newspaper headline today.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

The Tories cut the Police Force by 10,000 officers.
They cut the Criminal Justice System by a massive 25%.
Privatised the Probation Service which was such a disaster that they had to bring it back into public ownership.

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.
He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.
