Complaining that immigrants won't integrate while supporting a policy that makes it impossible for them to integrate. Great job, losers.

Yes it's a really important detail this.
I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

the fun thing about the BBC story is that I can't actually read about it for more than couple of minutes at a time because it makes me feel too insane :)
The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.
The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

Tory culture spox demanding the BBC "grovel" to Trump is baffling. Who is this supposed to chime with?
Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

I mean, good riddance to Tim Davie I guess, but to let the Telegraph bully you out of your job for something we all saw with our own eyes? Insane.

Well, well, well, if it isn't some actual data.
This weekend I'll be supporting my local Waitrose, coffee roasters, farmer's market and artisanal bakery, and I would be happy to pay more in taxes. Because I'm a middle class immigrant and proud of it.
