Oh dear. Very bad call from the BBC
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

If y'all are stuck for Christmas presents this year, consider @ianleslie.bsky.social's "John and Paul: A Love Story in Songs". Such a brilliant and wonderful read, even if you're not a Beatles fan (and you probably will be by the end anyway) - my pick for the year...

This is an excellent and important, shocking and sickening piece of journalism
NEW: Our investigation finds a tuna supply chain riddled with exploitation and abuse - where fishermen spend months or even years at sea.
Some describe threats, beatings and deception over pay.
Yet the fish they catch is still ending up on our plates.

It continues to be funny to me just how much Keir Starmer's social media team do not have his voice down *at all*. I mean, at all, at all.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Reminds me of the recent GB News “documentary” on the “Yookay”, that billed itself as a “deep dive” into uncontrolled mass immigration but was actually just interviews with drill musicians and other black British people (on.ft.com/4onWiiP)

For this week's column I wrote about Grokipedia, a site that fails so badly in its mission to be more truthful and neutral than Wikipedia that even @grok itself says it instead creates a "centralised ‘Musk’s truth’ filter"

This article (£) is as insightful as concerning
"What I see is a disillusioned generation, doubtful that liberal democracy can do anything worthwhile. We need some new, fresh thinking — as well as a free and open environment in which to test, debate and challenge it — to prove it still can."

For this week's column I wrote about the way that the countercultural intellectual energy of the right - and lack thereof on the left - is drawing in young people, esp men, who would once have been drawn to radical leftist thinkers
