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

Read this; watch the imbedded video. It's clear women aren't being listened to or protected by Police.

What does it take for govts to admit Police are systemically misogynist and racist and to put women's fears and complaints first?

Then there's Godfrey Bloom, one of UKIP's first MEPs in 2004, until he had the whip withdrawn in 2014. While I could highlight yet another racist "bongo bongo land" comment, I think it's also fair to remember Bloom for the misogyny that marked his UKIP career.

Then there is Anne Marie Walters, selected as a UKIP MP candidate under Farage, who later left the party to form For Britain, a political face of far right Britain First movement with Paul Golding.

And, just because Farage would really rather we all forget him, let's not forget this guy: Robert Kilroy-Silk. Farage gave him a job at the top of his party (UKIP) after he was very publicly sacked by the BBC for racist comments he made about Arabs.

And in case we think UKIP, like his schooldays, is in Farage's distant past, there's Ben Habib, ReformUK co-deputy leader & Brexit Party MEP, who left to form racist 'remigration' supporting AdvanceUK, yet another Tommy Robinson vehicle.

Why are people focusing on Nigel Farage's schoolboy racism? He has a much more recent track record here. Exhibit A: Gerard Batten, who served as UKIP General Secretary under Farage, served alongside him as an MEP & London Mayor candidate. The man who welcomed Tommy Robinson into UKIP.

Trump to America: Drop dead.
About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.
