What’s the next move for the BBC, after Donald Trump’s threat to sue the broadcaster for a billion dollars – and why what it decides will influence much more than its own future.

Given how much the British hate Trump's guts we should be standing behind the BBC, publicly, strongly, against the dirty foreigner Trump and the traitors (Farage/Johnson) who back the dirty foreigner Trump.
Over the weekend, one British institution saw off the populist right - the National Trust, whose members once again swatted away the Tufton Street-funded 'Restore Trust' lobbyists
Today, another British institution, the BBC, is in grave danger from Trump, Farage & co

National Trust council elections saw a defeat for the Restore Trust campaign.
35k members voted to re-elect a slate of council candidates endorsed by the nominations committee
12k - 13.5k voted for candidates on Restore Trust slate
Non-slate candidated

Just two decades ago, China had little capacity to manufacture cars — and owning one was considered a novelty.
Today, China produces and exports more cars than any other country in the world.
Meanwhile we in Europe still pretend we can somehow stop EVs from taking off by holding on to old tech.
