I wish they would too, but I know the chances of that happening are next to none.

The few libel cases in which Trump secured settlements weren’t really won on their merits. Rather, ABC & CBS were seeking FCC approval for mergers at the time, and the payments were more about maintaining goodwill with federal regulators than about the merits of the libel case.

Worth noting that Donald Trump is the first president in the 248-year history of the U.S. to sue the media for libel while in office.

He has a long record of unsuccessful libel suits — and an even longer record of letters like the one sent to the BBC which don’t result in legal action.

All the horror stories about abuse in care homes show just how devastating it can be for the elderly when people do the job only because they need the money.

Caring for older people is incredibly demanding — it’s not a role you can take on without patience, empathy, and dedication.

The whole debate is racist and toxic, I despair that the Govt isn't prepared to call it out as such and the BBC's engaging so effusively with the toxicity

Genocidal white supremacy is how the British empire made money for a long time.

We don't talk about the British empire enough and when we do, it's always in incredibly superficial terms. It's either a glorious narrative or a nostalgia about a sense of faded glory that's led to a decline.

Justin Webb on an empire that exercised genocidal levels of killing and cleansing based on race thinking:

“We do not need to be the bad guys”

There’s something so repugnant abt the fact that white ppl feel ENTITLED to be seen as good & moral. And demand this even after being oppressive.

I couldn’t agree more.
