A lesson both the BBC and the Labour party are determined not to heed.

And if they capture the BBC, the likes of RTE may well be next. We've already seen some like Musk try to stir the pot in Ireland.

But of course, he won't. This is Orbanisation, I reckon.

The right - including the US right - want to neuter public service broadcasting, or at least make it very much their mouthpiece.

And if they get their way with the BBC, the likes of RTE and France Televisions should be watching their backs. The US right will come for them, too.

I know someone who'll talk about WPATH, Tavistock, the one trans offender they can always remember, as if this is all proof, but he appears to have little knowledge of real details.

And what makes me saddest is that he's often using the same tropes used against black men like him in the 70s/80s

They're probably already going through a list of Tory and Reform donors to find someone suitable

There's certainly plenty there I'd like to see go as well

While many people shake their heads in horror at the prominence given to Reform, to anti-trans views, etc, the right think it just doesn't go far enough.

They'll only be happy when The One Show is replaced by a daily recital of immigrant crimes.

Bit of an own goal for the right, isn't it? They've made so much fuss, they've ended up losing their own man at the top.

Thought that said Ferrero Rocher at first glance.

"Oh, Ambassador, with these transgender you are spoiling us" :-)

Yet, not a word about how many in their news desk do their best to keep the Reform perspective on air as often as possible.

Funny, that.
