How easily  rights & freedoms are lost when enough of a population blindly trust that those elected to lead, have the nations wellbeing & interests at heart,trusting they will do their best & protect
narcissists like Trump  don't give a fck; only ever in it for himself

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

"Trump ran as the person who was going to smash this veneer of secrecy that surrounded elite Americans and the ways that they behaved in private," says NYT journalist Mark Landler.

"He now looks like he's the handmaiden of those people"

Woah.
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

“He's very good at lobbing hand grenades towards other politicians – he's not very good at receiving them."

Why has Farage struggled to shake off school racism allegations, and is there an even bigger storm brewing for Reform UK?

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?

Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

Donald Trump is "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

We live in strange times, when you can be liable for damages by simply telling the truth.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
