I once had a drunken chat with a far right Japanese nationalist who couldn't stop going on about immigrants.
So I listed what I and my family do to support Japanese culture, society, environment. What did he do?
What he did next was stare fucking daggers because he did nothing whatsoever.

Gibb describes himself as a “Thatcherite Conservative” and was an editorial adviser for GB News before its launch.
This graphic is a couple of years old, nearly, but it gives a sense of the web of influence.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey again: “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.”

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

We should rename the White House : "the Chancellary" in memory of the one, true autocrat of the 20th century, which Trump and Miller are following.
Just a hint : it didn't end well.

If the Trump "administration" tells us to do ANYTHING, we should do the opposite for sanity's sake.
The Trump Administration is now pushing Brits to watch GB News instead of the BBC. The Far Right are trying to seize this moment of chaos in British media.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
