The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

If that case is winnable, and there is good reason to believe it is, the BBC should fight it.

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.
But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.
Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

I swear to god, I bang on about the BBC News programmes that make me rage if I watch them (I haven’t for ages) but damn, if that infirm, dementia addled, egomaniac comes for them you’d best believe I’ll stand up for them.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery
