Everyone is talking about Coburn. It would be terrible to keep David Coburn, UKIP (former leader) really prominent. Share this to raise awareness.
David Coburn, former leader of UKIP Scotland & mentioned in WhatsApp messages sent between Gill and his handler answers "no" when a journalist asks him if he took money to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.

The video of him outside his chateau is lol

these questions are just legitimate concerns
‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’

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

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.
