Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

The whole #bbcnews story is overblown and manipulated by Garage and the Torygraph. The US would love to control our media and many would like to destroy our public service broadcasting for their own financial gain.

Very interesting presentation on #CALL from #Bangor University. So much work done to provide technical support for Welsh language learning, pushing for a goal of 1Million speakers. Did you know that their building was where the #Beatles learned to meditate? via @ft30uk.bsky.social
