In these times of rancour & division, it’s comforting to find things on which we can all agree: Kent County Council, for example, really does provide a perfect illustration of how well Reform would run the country. I agree with Nigel!

Lest we forget the millions sent to their deaths or who suffered horrendous injuries and who returned to a Britain that largely ignored their physical and mental suffering. Also the ruling classes who made such a mess of the peace that it led to the rise of fascism in Europe.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
