"For Britain to withdraw from Europe would be to retire into "an old people's home for fading nations...I do not even think it would be a comfortable or agreeable old people's home. I do not much like the look of some of the prospective wardens".(Jenkins)

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

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

Someone really needs to explain the Striesand Effect to the BBC. And also tell them to stop being so pathetic.
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

The end of that paragraph is absolutely shocking.

Sorry for the caps, but really:

Trevor Phillips WANTS KIDS OF IMMIGRANTS TO BE AFRAID OF LEAVING THE HOUSE, OF GOING TO SCHOOL.

That's full-on fascist racist insanity.

Was trying to work out in which way Shabana Mahmood, an otherwise pretty unremarkable politician, could possibly be described as a "luminous golden star" who "dazzles like a blue-white supernova" and then I realised, its simply a willingness to be a bit more cruel to immigrants

The BBC makes itself *extremely* hard to love with this stuff. I’ve worked in more than one small newsroom that’s discovered to its immense frustration that the country’s biggest news org has stolen its work with no credit whatsoever.
I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

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

Far from being a patriot, Farage is a traitor projecting Russian and American far-right influence into the UK. He has turned the UK from an independent country into a battlefield in the international kleptofascist axis' war against democracy.

The petition for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics and democracy is now up to 20k.

Please share the petition far and wide. We need to push as hard as we can to break the establishment wall of silence protecting Farage.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I ask again why any Government is still on X.

Grok has clearly been shaped in its owner’s image and likeness

I would very much like to know what Governments’ and journalists’ red lines are if this sort of thing is not.

The fear and anxiety makes already vulnerable people prey to more exploitation. People are already afraid to report, say, a mendacious landlord who won’t deal with damp and mould. Giving such a grasping throbber another cudgel to beat up his tenants, under a Labour regime, is unconscionable
