Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

Trump's attack can rescue the BBC
The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom

Someone argues Covid boosters are too expensive to offer to all who want it.
When I grew up, we learned every life is equally valuable. At the beginning of the pandemic, we all swore to try & save every life.
But then that became too cumbersome, didnt it? And now too expensive for some. Marvellous

Trump’s greatest hoax will always be his patriotism. The nationalistic glue of his cult.

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets.
I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

However often I get hacked off with Labour, it just takes reading something like this to make me remember how utterly, utterly horrible and dreadful the Tories were (and continued to be for YEARS because the voters looked at this kind of shit and thought "yeah, more of the same" the fuckers).
Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart?
Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC.

I’d be a good Director General of the BBC.
I’m good at ignoring emails.
I’m a skilled bullshitter
I don’t watch much telly
I’d ban Nigel Farage from the airwaves
I’m ambivalent about the continuation of Doctor Who
I’d get proper DJs on Radio 2.
I’d bring back Call My Bluff.

How about the BBC tell Trump to fuck off? Get Michael McIntyre to phone him and call him a big, stupid, ugly paedophile sex trafficking cunt. But then do his laugh at the end so everyone realises it’s meant in jest.

In 2024, Bet 365's CEO got a salary - not total package, just salary - of £94.7m.
A lot of people have to lose their bets to pay that.
We should be MASSIVELY curtailing betting, not promoting it further. It's a cancer in society.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

A long time since I cared about Bond (esp. now it's Amazon's baby) but the obvious answer is: ignore it. Reboot with a fresh cast. To do anything else requires such mindfuckery and jiggery-pokery as to be ridiculous. Each new Bond was always a notional reset anyway.

The BBC is surely meant to be woke? It's always been about basic decency. Somebody needs to be imo because the general tone in online spaces is horribly aggressive atm. I don't really understand all the director general stuff but it would be nice to have a media channel that is mostly kind. 😒

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help
