I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Somebody posted an old photo in a Facebook local group and asked if anyone could clean it up. Well-meaning people turned to #AI. Lots of responders seemed happy with the results, but this is how you destroy historical records.

UK Gov experts have shown that ending fossil fuels will save the UK nearly £40 billion a year and rising.
Electrification saves all the heat wasted from burning gas & oil.

Reminded of this as an academic told me the other day that they were off to a country in South America, then one in Africa & then one in Asia, in rapid succession

I really didn’t know what to say…
