After consulting with US lawyers, BBC executives removed Bergman’s description of Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

Ironically, the subject of the lecture was the cowardice of today’s elites—like media corporations—who are bending the knee to authoritarianism.

Premeditated road violence.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

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

This man has made a career from xenophobia and racism. He currently heads an extremist party. Listen carefully to how he answers the questions, we know what he is, because once in no.10, he will reveal himself.

I can’t even begin to line out the torment and torrent of anguish and won’t - because it satisfies the desire for ever more cruelty but Dan is right, the only purpose served is cruel and degrading punishment - the definition of mass torture. That’s now government policy.
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

An advertising spend of £2bn puts the industry's bleating of "you'll destroy jobs if you tax us more!" into context. They're fucking rolling in cash.
