I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

We must not let him away with this absolute gaslighting.
ITV News, "Did you racially insult pupils at school?
Nigel Farage, "I would never do it in a hurtful or insulting way.. Not with intent"

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻to GarethLewis77 #BBCWales political editor. You can hear his extremely revealing interview with #NigelFarage #BBCr4today 7.14am.
No one who was racially abused at school forgets who abuses them. And if the words are offensive enough, they remain sealed in the memory.

Truly weird 'banter'.
Anyone horrendously bullied at school will remember the abuse for the rest of their lives.
So why should we suppose for a moment that Farage's abuse doesn't come from the deepest roots?
After all, the child is father of the man. #Farage

A side of Farage we don’t pay enough attention to #Reform
When challenged he shows his true nature he became aggressive and went on to insult the interviewer for questioning him
ITV News, "I don't understand what you mean?"
Nigel Farage, "You wouldn't do"
He's a narcissistic bully who takes no form of criticism trying to undermine anyone who opposes him.

Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his “Hitler was right” racism was just ‘banter’.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.
It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.
It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

Wow. Just saw that far-right MP Rupert Lowe welcomed convicted criminal Lucy Connolly, who called for people to set fire to hotels housing immigrants, to Parliament last Mon.
Lowe (formerly of Reform UK) praised her "courage"
Connolly, of course, pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred last year.

#Trump the disaster zone that is his megalomaniac Presidency continues to play out inexorably .. what a price we are all paying for this.
Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Well, that’s one of the worst new policies in a government with a hell of a lot of awful policies. Mindless, idiotic, self-defeating.

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?

Donald Trump expects Ukrainians to be ‘grateful’ as he prepares a carve-up of the country with Putin.
We can’t let that happen - Starmer must work with our European allies to stop this stitch-up in its tracks.
