The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

Keir Starmer can stand up to Trump and his fascist acolytes by appointing a real champion of impartial public broadcasting as the new BBC DG. No more political appointments designed to accelerate its decay.

This has has to stop. It's utterly unacceptable for the President of a supposed democratic ally to launch a vexatious libel action against the UK's state broadcaster, with the clear intention of either silencing its legitimate criticism of him or destroying it.

I'm all up for Davie getting the chop, but this is a craven surrender to the extreme right and to authoritarianism.
He ought to have been sacked for the shameless way the BBC have plugged Farage and Reform over the years.
