Hey Americans. Confused about the BBC story? Read this. It's bloody brilliant.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Just watched Farage talking about Trump and BBC and it makes me so miserable that his career has been so helped by an institution he is committed to destroy - I am bewildered

The one positive thing I've taken from this evening's shit-show is that people are now openly talking about Robbie Gibb. As Kevin Maguire said: "imagine the furore if Labour had put Alistair Campbell on the board of the BBC..." 🤣

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Dominic Cummings was always an absolute arsehole.
The Conservative right loves to talk up imagined genius among their ranks when in truth there's nothing there but attitude, flex, and pose. Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Cummings. All tiresome little nobodies trotting out rehashed nonsense. Often nasty.

The sheer grifting determination of these ghouls knows no bounds. Even as we hear the man charged is a British national who lives in Peterborough with police suggesting no obvious terror link, they cling desperately to the idea this is somehow linked to immigration. Shameless stuff.
