Having been accused of being ‘virtually anonymous’ by a respondent accusing me of making Twitter arguments (🤷♂️):
I’m a retired hospital pharmacist in Yorkshire. My wife was a GP so we think we have a little insight into health care.
Probably a bit woke.

In a world without the BBC, how will we know what is true and what is truly haplening in the world?
Our only source of information (misinformatio) will be the billionaire-owned media.
The BBC has been gravely damaged by 14 years of the Tories.
But we desperately need it to be functioning properly

Or, translated:
“We didn’t punch down on or vilify trans people sufficiently for the Telegraph’s liking.”
How many years away are we from having a “both sides” factor when discussing gay people, I wonder?

There’s something of an irony that Trump’s threat to sue the BBC will have publicised the contentious film in a way that would never have happened otherwise.
And maybe some people will now watch the full speech to see what he actually said and meant.
You know, just to find some facts.

The Panorama edit was poor journalism, not sure how it happened (more than 15 yo when I worked there we all had to go on a course because someone made the Queen look grumpy about something in the wrong order). But of all of it, this is the only piece I’ve read that properly nails the issue…

It's impossible to defame Trump.
He has no reputation that could be damaged any more than he has damaged it himself.

The BBC should reply by asking Trump to participate in their forthcoming documentary based on the copy of the Epstein files they’ve just been provided with.

Both things *are* true ‘at the same time’. The anti BBC movement is rife amongst Social Media acolytes whose primary belief is that anyone who believes the World’s most respected news output is ‘brainwashed’ whereas those who prefer the unregulated SM ‘news’ sources are ‘independent thinkers’. 🤷♂️
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Trump is deflecting.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Gates recently called for a ‘strategic pivot’ in climate strategy. That appears to have hit a nerve.
