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.

Farage is proud of being Trump's British errand boy. Here are some photos of Trump with pedophiles.

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.
We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

As I’ve seen this confused a few times, please note that Robin Gibb was a much-beloved member of the Bee Gees, whilst Robbie Gibb is the BBC board member who also, totally coincidentally, was editorial adviser in the set-up of GB News.
I know, Bee Gees, GBeebies, a bit confusing…

Far from being a patriot, Farage is a traitor projecting Putin and Trump's influence into this country.
It is time, this traitor, this worm, this creeping servant of foreign leaders was thrown out of the UK and never allowed to return.

The BBC, our National Broadcaster and unsurpassed for programme production over years, is under attack from the Right. They smell blood and privatisation. While heads are rolling, can I suggest another one to be stuck on a pike on London Bridge? Gibb. A traitor and unfit to serve us.
