This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

WTF Nationwide. You used to be one of the good ones.
I’m immediately closing my account with Nationwide and moving my savings elsewhere. My partner is doing the same. I would recommend everyone who is not a fascist to do the same. Plenty of other options.

As Farage parades around the studios and airwaves today can reporters please ask him why there were no Channel crossings prior to the Brexit which he claimed would "take back control of our borders".

Here's a fact for you all.
Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.
Not ONE.
This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.
But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.
