“A sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric is fuelling a growing cesspool of racism, including against international and ethnic minority nursing staff, without whom our health and care system would simply cease to function.”

How disgraceful.

Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News.

GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though

Taco thinks he can frighten the BBC, like he forced CBS & ABC to cower 😆
The Government should call in the US Ambassador for a bollocking.
It may not achieve much in practical terms, but the PM needs to show the world we still value free speech.

The UK played a pivotal role in creating the ECHR. Leaving it now would betray that legacy, and destroy the very principles we helped to create.

The silencing of media by the far right is happening in the UK, too.
While GBNews is allowed to broadcast openly right-wing propaganda, the BBC is subjected to a sustained and coordinated campaign by the right-wing press

SPOILER ALERT: Trump incited the crowd on Jan 6th. It was an attempted insurrection. It only failed because his supporters were so stupid they preferred to shit on desks and spread their excrement across the walls rather than eliminate the opposition as they were supposed to.
