What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

I really cannot think of a more unpleasant person than Nigel Farage who pretends to have Britain’s interest at heart but who has done more to damage it than anyone else I can think of in recent history
He lives off pandering to other organisations and completely fails in his duties as an MP

It must be out there, but I can’t recall seeing a post noting that Farage’s initials are the same as those of the National Front. 🧐

Only Russian soldiers can "go home."
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land.

When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.
