We went through BREXIT, but there's been no accountability.
The election of TRUMP is concerning.
Periodically, I take a break, as social media is like a drug to me!

Norway didn't privatise its Fossil Fuel, it is the richest country in the world.
The UK sold its Fossil Fuel, it is one of the most indebted nations in the world.

To repeat: A world where balance is defined as giving lies the same space as truth, evil the same platform as good and where money buys the narrative is not a good world for 99.99% of us.
The mistake many in the media make re IMPARTIALITY, is to give Persons A & B an equal say when what needs to happen is to ensure journalists seek the real truth & are in full command of their facts & are prepared to call out the BS of Persons A & B Equally & Impartially

With the whole of the political right ganging up on the BBC the only political leader prepared to defend the BBC and pubic service broadcasting is @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, well done him 👏

So far, only one political leader is prepared to mount an outspoken defence of the BBC
As part of its editorial independence, the appointment of the BBC's next editor-in-chief is meant to be entirely down to its own independent board - and out of the hands of ministers.

This is also very true for the UK, and London in particular where the city and the money men have bought and corrupted politics.

On the BBC Radio 4 News briefing at 10.00am; Caerphilly By-election.
Interesting that the BBC interview the Reform (far right wing) candidate, who lost, rather than the Plaid Cymru candidate, who won.
More subtle bias from the BBC.

Now we have ripoff Water, the world's most expensive electricity and the most expensive rail/mail in Europe.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.
He's been on Question Time once.
Nigel Farage, 44 times.
Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

You see what is happening in the USA.
That will happen in the UK if Nigel Farage becomes PM.
Because he is Donald Trump's puppet and Nigel Farage will sell the UK to him straight away.
