Tim Montgomerie on #bbcwato: "i would not support Nigel Farage if i saw any racist behaviour at all"

one of Farage's fellow pupils interviewed on #bbcwato describes Farage as "a complete liar" for his claim that he never directly racially abused anyone

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

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

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Absolutely terrifying perfect about what happened when one editor started digging into a pitch that was too good to be true, and uncovered countless AI-generated fake articles in international outlets under the same byline

A plea to all outlets - start training people to spot this stuff

Here's a link to the story

I have sympathy for stretched staff who fall for scams like this but it's degrading trust in journalism and results in good, honest writers losing work and possibly their livelihoods

Insist on phone calls over pitches, verify previous work

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

I went to the same shitty private school as this guy and there was loads of racism, misogyny and homophobia there in the late 90s and early 2000s too. The idea it wasn’t even worse in the 70s is idiotic.
“I would never ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way”

Nigel Farage responds to allegations of racist behaviour from when he was a teenager at school

I've never injected heroin, but I have to imagine that first hit feels a lot like watching this video of Jack Posobiec storming out of Friday's presser after Trump says he agrees with a lot of Mamdani's positions

"If current migration trends are any guide, Poles may soon start talking about British plumbers arriving in droves."

Telegraph also forgets to mention that British plumbers have had their freedom of movement taken away.
Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

This will reduce the numbers of foreign students coming to the UK and simply leave a bigger hole in the higher education budget which the government will probably fix with higher student fees for the rest of us.
"reeves to unveil £600m raid on foreign student university fees"

keep going gang! one of these unhinged plans is bound to pay off eventually!! (does not pay off and everything is on fire)

An absolute scandal compounded in this case by failure of French government and EU institutions to forcefully react and sanction in turn those who have sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors. Makes a total mockery of FR/EU's repeated commitment to the rule of law/ICC
