All that’s said and done, the BBC does know how to do superb drama. Mr Burton was brilliant. Got chills several times. I just wish the BBC could sort out its rogue elements, mistakes and missteps and concentrate on what it’s always done best. And Trump can jog on. Not a penny you tyrant.

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

I really don’t want to stick the boot in on the BBC but while I’m forced to pay for a service I hardly use, it could do with sorting biases and bring back sensible balance. Not ‘both sides’ nonsense platforming loons and Reform at every opportunity. Just do what the BBC used to do well & soft power.

The BBC really is having a time of it. Biased news output. Firing people but some of the worst of the political appointees are still there poisoning things. And now the BBC Sounds app thinks I’m not in the UK ffs!!! Just deleted it. What is the point any more with the license fee?

When the weather app says it’s not going to rain for the next 30 minutes but what it really means is not raining as hard as it has been all day, so you and the dog 🐕 get wet anyway. Needed to stretch our legses. One soggy dog and human later. Cuppa tea time. #Cornwall #Dog #weather #rain

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Imagine the changes in the world if one leader’s heart would check out, another would fall out of a window, and others got locked up for life. Come on sensible majority, start kicking out all the evil trying to enrich themselves on our and other nations backs

One of the biggest problems with mainstream media is its regular platforming of lunatic people with mad ideas.
Particularly the BBC, which is meant to be about public education.
UK politics is broken in large part because we have lazy gatekeepers of MSM.
Which is why so many are turning off MSM.

This complete nut (Jo White mp) on #r4today reckons processing asylum claims in IRAQ - setting up offshore processing centres with British civil servants processing claims IN IRAQ is actually a sane or even money saving plan??? 🤯🤯🤯

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.
Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.
Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.
