Important thread. The attack on the BBC has been carefully planned and ruthlessly executed by interests that despise the whole idea of public-service broadcasting and truthful journalism.

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."
Yes, really.

Dazza is furious with the BBC for reporting about a white man who raped young girls.
Dazza wouldn’t have been furious about the reporting if the perpetrator hadn’t been white.
Men like Dazza aren’t concerned about the girls, they want a reason to demonise anyone not white.

One has to feel for the BBC when criticism of them is split evenly between people complaining they have an obvious right-wing bias and others saying they have an obvious left-wing bias. And before anyone complains 'well one side of that is obviously wrong' - they both say that too.

As it’s Armistice Day, I wanted to share an image of one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in an archive:
This is the pen which ended the First World War.
It was used by British Admiral Rosslyn Wemyss to sign the Armistice on the 11th November 1918 in the Forest of Compiègne.

I’m not sure that people realise how much of the UK’s broadcast output is controlled by Trump acolytes.
It’s an unhealthy situation and makes supporting the BBC, which is a news source respected worldwide, essential.
