Wishing the whole world was a Musk-free zone. Love birds and dogs, especially spaniels. Hate the harm being done to this planet, populism and all things right wing. No dms or crypto please. #JamFirst

Very disturbing, but this also underlines some of the things you were saying in your excellent lecture. The BBC was both a lifeline & a channel for actual resistance in occupied Europe in WW2. Censoring you because of the eggshell-thin skin of a would-be tyrant's ego is a betrayal of that history.

I share this with respect for the many excellent journalists at the BBC.
And with the hope that transparency helps strengthen, not weaken, our democratic culture. /5

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

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

Despicable- this is behaviour born out of the fear of having to head off law suits from a president who acts like a mob boss in his dealings with the rest of the world.
