The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

The one positive thing I've taken from this evening's shit-show is that people are now openly talking about Robbie Gibb. As Kevin Maguire said: "imagine the furore if Labour had put Alistair Campbell on the board of the BBC..." 🤣

Maybe they have all missed BBCQT, Politics Live, Daily Politics, and This Week for the last two decades, for which Farage has his own dressing room.
Farage accuses the BBC of bias on Europe, immigration, the environment, Gaza, and Trump - to a hall of toadies roaring their approval.
And in the blink of an eye, turns to his actual employer "a much perkier GB News," then remembers "although I have to declare an interest." ~AA

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
