The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.
The problem is... they're not allowed.
Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

He's not wrong.
Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.
EU need to step up.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

If Boris Johnson can appoint former GBNews adviser and pro Israel endorser, Robbie Gibb to the board of the BBC why can’t Starmer replace him? The BBC is under serious threat and Labour don’t seem to care.
Gibb position on BBC board ‘untenable’, says Swinney
The comments come amid a bias row at the broadcaster which has seen two of its top bosses resign.

Which would surely explain why trump is going after it.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Numerous occasions, I've complained to the BiBiC over it's right wing bias (A Corbyn mug, hat + Voldemort to name a few).
Nothing to see here they said.
This week is proof that when you pander to the far right, they'll still attack you if you don't follow their narrative

The people that run the BBC, takes the money of the public, whilst at the same time, looks down at the public as the great unwashed and morons.
That’s their attitude. And when you complain they groan and laugh at you as if you somehow have any right to complain about your betters.

And if you don't fight for them, then you'll have let them steal it all. Right in front of your stupid privileged noses.

Lord Patten 100% reflects my view, particularly the point about the dangers of this all undermining our democracy
Remember the likes of Trump and Farage want democracy gone. It doesn't serve their purpose

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

A very important thread. I have my views on it but still, really important and one we need to watch.
The BBC has been, in my opinion, destroyed from both the inside and outside - by it's news departments and teams.
Not all the other parts, just the news, but then, that's what counts.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review.
That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days.
Leader Dan Harrison is a con man.
