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.

Some just seem to love the disruption being caused by the right for the exorbitant opportunities they think it will provide. Why do these ppl not believe normal opportunities and rewards will be enough?

Finally, it's important to think about what this weakening pay growth means for workers.
Average weekly pay has increased by just £3 in real terms over the past year – not even enough to cover the cost of a Tesco meal deal.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.
All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

“People think that Medicaid is poor, lazy people skirting the system,” Jane, a Vermont resident, tells Rolling Stone.
“But it’s teachers, volunteer firefighters, police officers. It’s people that are part of the community”

The best Charles Moore could drum up against the BBC was that BBC Arabic is faulty. We don’t watch BBC Arabic do we.
And something has been different about the BBC since the 1960’s. Yes, it’s called social mobility.
We need the BBC to be strong and honest so that we can trust it.

Uninsured driving costs the government £1bn a year, including compensation for victims, emergency services, medical costs and loss of productivity.
An uninsured vehicle is seized every four minutes across the UK, with almost 120,000 seized so far this year, the MIB said.

The attacks on the BBC replicates Trumpian attacks based on lies,false figures to control the pillars of establishment, the judiciary have been attacked too. These pillars serve our interests & justice. They know the attacks succeeded in the US so want to do it here. That is the warning to everyone.

How on earth can Farage accuse the #BBC of bias unless he is admitting he gets on it far too often?!!! He has an incredible cheek. He is taking every chance he can to destroy what is good about the UK, namely the freedom to speak our minds.

This isn't a revolutionary government. But as a Labour government, it does need to be the people's representative to the system. So far it's acted as the system's representative to the people - "no, you can't have that, tough choices". And time is running out to deliver outcomes by the election

The BBC is hopeless at reporting on itself. The idea that a minor, if misleading, edit is the most serious crisis in its history is ludicrous self-absorption, even allowing for the context of a Faragite desire to break it. It's certainly not as serious as the Iraq-Gilligan crisis.

If the BBC does turn even more to the right, podcasts will become much more important but this will fragment the UK further.

This is an outstanding post on the criminal justice system. Do read.
New post just out:
Why the criminal justice system should be top of No. 10's "shit list".
No part of the public sector is more broken or brings with it greater political risk. As we saw these past two weeks.
It desperately needs a new approach.
