Welcome to the UK where a right wing academic seeks to defend a man who wrote:

By describing that incitement as "anti immigration"

Most bonkers part of the story for me is that the Murdoch money was donated via News International (now News UK) - owner of The Times, The Sun, TalkTV etc.
In other words, a media company donating to a political pressure group.
And these same outlets have the gall to whinge about BBC “bias”

1. Possibility of Ukraine being strong-armed into capitulation.
2. US mid-terms against the backdrop of 250th anniversary whilst trying to host a World Cup
3. AI bubble bursting.
4. Whatever the fuck comes of the Epstein Files' release.

Brexit damage worse over time. Has already knocked up to 8% off GDP, reduced productivity by up to 4% and investment by up to 18% (let that sink in for a moment) plus the loss of untold jobs. Surely fair to say forthcoming tax rises wouldn’t have been necessary without Brexit. Pain for no gain
Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

As always, the story is how and why the media – particularly prominent broadcasters such as the BBC – are making certain choices as to which individuals, ideas, and views are platformed and how these are framed to the public.
The path ahead will be shaped by such decisions. The water we swim in...

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?
